  • ioddly 9y ago
    I enjoy this and History on Fire, but I've had a hard time getting into other history podcasts. Any recommendations welcome.
    • w4tson 9y ago
      Not exactly a podcast but America: Empire of liberty by David Renoylds is a masterpiece. It can be listened like a podcast as each chapter is self contained and 10 mins or so with first hand accounts from actors etc.

  Radical Personal Finance - a non-traditional view on the topic of personal finance, with a goal of providing listeners with the knowledge they need to build financial freedom "in 10 years or less": https://radicalpersonalfinance.com/archive/ https://radicalpersonalfinance.com/archive/ Crypto-Gram - a monthly security-themed digest podcast (it is actually an audio version of the identically titled Bruce Schneier's newsletter): http://crypto-gram.libsyn.com/ http://crypto-gram.libsyn.com/ And, of course, "Hardcore History". It's just teriffic, Dan Carlin has a talent in painting live historical pictures using just words. http://www.dancarlin.com/product-category/hardcore-history/ http://www.dancarlin.com/product-category/hardcore-history/
  • zapperdapper 9y ago

      An episode that really stood out for me when I first heard it was about Imaginary Numbers: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tt6b2 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tt6b2
  • observation 9y ago
    Found it too easy to zone out into a biltz of phrases and names, not certain if I were truly grasping what was being said. Typically finding that a guest is trying to encapsulate something and then Melvin butts in to speed things along. It is good though, but I find subjects I knew something about already were dealt with in a somewhat obscurantist manner that didn't really impart a high level understanding.

  I've got a few I look forward to every single week (or so). I listen for pleasure and to get my mind off work. With that said, here are my favorite weekly podcasts (I've included descriptions from their website or my own if none was provided): [0a] Giant Bombcast and [0b] Giant Beastcast (Note I'm a premium member) The Giant Bomb staff discuss the latest video game news and new releases, taste-test questionable beverages, and get wildly off-topic in this weekly podcast. [1] Thirty, Twenty, Ten A pop culture time machine that examines TV, movies, music and video games from the 80s, 90s and 2000s. [2] Retronauts The original classic gaming podcasts continues its endless quest to explore the history of video games, one game at a time. [3] The Talking Simpson's (Note I still love The Simpson's) Join your friends at the Laser Time Podcast Network for a chronological and cromulent exploration of the greatest show ever made! [4] Game Informer No description available: Weekly podcast about video games. Professionally produced and in depth and I highly recommend listening to the episodes where they discuss the origination and founding of Funcoland/Gamestop/Game Informer and the current episode about Game Freak the developers and creators of Pokémon.) Honorable mentions: [5] 8-4 Play Bi-weekly podcast about Japan video games, culture, and everything Japan that's making the news. They also run a video game translation business and have ported many popular games. [6] Laser Time Laser Time is a show featuring folks in the video games industry, although not necessarily about video games. [7] Game Dev Club The Dev Game Club looks at older games and plays through them in a form similar to a book club! [8] Player One Join ex-game journalists Chris Johnston (ex-EGM), Phil Theobald (ex-GameNow), Greg Sewart (ex-EGM) and their buddy Mike Phillips as they talk about console/portable/PC games, babies, and the meaning of life. [9a] Radio Free Nintendo and [9b] Famicast No Description Available: Podcast about all things Nintendo, old and new. It's very well done and balanced. The Famicast comes out less often and is mostly Japanese focused. [10] Genesis Gems (I was a Nintendo kid.) Genesis Gems is a retro gaming podcast focused on the Sega Genesis console. Family friendly, fun, and goofy! --- [0a] https://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/bombcast/ https://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/bombcast/ [0b] https://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/beastcast/ https://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/beastcast/ [1] http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/category/thirty-twenty-ten/ http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/category/thirty-twenty-ten/ [2] https://retronauts.com/topic/podcast/ https://retronauts.com/topic/podcast/ [3] http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/category/talking-simpsons/ http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/category/talking-simpsons/ [4] http://www.gameinformer.com/p/gishow.aspx http://www.gameinformer.com/p/gishow.aspx [5] http://8-4.jp/blog/?cat=8 http://8-4.jp/blog/?cat=8 [6] http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/category/lasertimepodcast/ http://www.lasertimepodcast.com/category/lasertimepodcast/ [7] http://www.devgameclub.com http://www.devgameclub.com [8] http://www.playeronepodcast.com http://www.playeronepodcast.com [9a] http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/rfn http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/rfn [9b] http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/famicast http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/famicast [10] http://genesisgems.podomatic.com http://genesisgems.podomatic.com --- I have others, but these are the podcasts I look forward too every time they pop up in my feed. If you can't tell, I like pop culture, video games, and listen for fun and to escape. That work life balance thing. Edit: Formatting.

  Accidental Tech Podcast - A tech podcast with a strong focus on Apple. Commentary by Siracusa makes this one worth it. Film Sack - Film reviews of bad, strange or unique movies. They only do movies that are currently available via streaming sites and encourage their listeners to watch the movie before the episode. Judge John Hodgeman - Two people, usually a couple, call in to the show with a disagreement. John Hodgeman will listen to both sides and cast his judgement. Both sides agree to abide by whatever he says.

  Omega Tau - Interviews with tech and science people talking about their area of interest. Lots of episodes on aviation, and space exploration in particular. It has a good level of technical depth. Highly recommended!

    You should check out Reddit's /r/audiodrama subreddit. Some recommendations: Mabel - Mysterious ghost story. We're Alive - High quality Zombie TEOTWAWKI. Our Fair City - Dystopian adventure with comic momments. Stay with it until Season 2, it takes a while to warm up but is one of the best. EOS-10 - Scrubs in Space. Wolf 359 - Space mystery adventure. Liberty - There are two related series: I recommend starting with 'Critical Research' for the worldbuilding and then proceeding onto 'Tales from the Tower', which is extraordinary.
