Ask HN: What podcasts do you subscribe to?
I used to follow quite a few podcasts, but I haven't in a year or two. I want to load some up again, but would like some recommendations.
- drRoflol 18y agoJava Posse, Drunk and Retired, and StackOverflow for IT-stuff. 1-UP (games), Dan Carlin's hardcore history (history podcast) and Common sense with Dan Carlin (politics) for fun;)
- Sephr 18y agoThe 404 and the Onion.
- nir 18y agoMost of the Long New Foundation's seminars are excellent: http://longnow.org/projects/seminars/ http://longnow.org/projects/seminars/ The New Yorker Out Loud has its moments: http://www.newyorker.com/online/podcasts/outloud http://www.newyorker.com/online/podcasts/outloud The Moth' stories are great for passing that subway ride home: http://www.themoth.org/podcast http://www.themoth.org/podcast BBC's From Our Own Correspondent is pretty good too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/fooc/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/fooc/ "Open Source Radio" (nothing to do with open source, except hijacking the term to sound "hip") used to be pretty good, but lately it's been like listening to a podcast by Reddit. Still, they might get some sense back (or you might like Reddit): http://www.radioopensource.org/ http://www.radioopensource.org/
- trevelyan 18y agoOur own! http://popupchinese.com http://popupchinese.com There are podcasts that teach other languages of differing quality. In any case, the online+podcast approach is a much more effective way to learn than using a traditional book & tape, or even going to a classroom once or twice a week. One point -- don't be shy about repeating words and phrases out loud while you listen though. If you're just listening it takes much longer to internalize the content, especially for adults.
