Oh, hey! is that you blog?
Howdy there.
Let's pretend like my absence didn't happen ok?
I'm here to recommend podcasts. A lot of you that know me, know that I'm a podcast freak and that I listen to them nonstop. Most of you however, will probably ignore this because you fall into one of these categories:
1.- I've given podcasts a try...Once, I downloaded like a bagillion of them, I was quickly overwhelmed, and deleted them after I noticed they were clogging up my hard drive space.
2.- You mean, it's just like...people talking? That's boring!
3.- What's a podcast?
If you fall into #2, I ain't talking to you.
My list of must hear podcasts:
1.- This American Life.
To sum this up in a short description would be impossible. In the wise words of the show's creator: "It's like little movies, for the radio".
2.- WNYC's RadioLab
Science. On steroids. Moving, irreverent, curious, incredible.
They inspire me so much on every episode, it's truly unbelievable.
3.- Film Sack
One of the many podcasts from Frogpants Studios. Captained by ubergeek Scott Johnson, and flanked by other very funny co-hosts, these cats sit around, watch horrible movies (and occasionally some good ones), and rip 'em to shreds. It's also a little interactive too, they announce the next film to be ripped apart, you can watch ahead of the show, and then sit back and enjoy sheer hilarity. If you like Mystery Science Theater, you will love Film Sack.
4.- Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
I've recently discovered this guy. He gives the most engaging history lessons ever, because they don't feel like history lessons. This one is definitely not for the faint of heart though, his descriptions of some of the horrors of war are absolutely gripping.
5.- The Instance
I play World of Warcraft, and if you do, and you haven't heard this...you need to. This one is a niche one for sure, although the show's hosts claim there are many listeners that don't play WoW.
Go to itunes now, or to the pages I link to. Trust me, you will not regret it.
