Which Podcasts are you listening to?

I started listening to The Magnus Archives over the summer. Currently on episode 47 of 119 but they keep adding more so I should be good for a while. They are perfect length for my bus ride home from work and intriging little stories in and of themselves which all tie into a bigger story arc. Amazing narrator as well, which is the make or break factor for me.

I discovered it looking for podcasts similar to The Black Tapes which had an amazing season 1, a hit and miss Season 2, and the most aggravating chaotic let down of an ending I’ve ever experienced. I’m convinced the Black Tapes just never thought through an ending but wanted to stop so they botched a final episode and called it done.

Luckily my search paid off, Magnus Archives is even better and still going strong.

The Magnus Archives | Rusty Quill

The Magnus Archives is a weekly horror fiction anthology podcast examining what lurks in the archives of the Magnus Institute, an organisation dedicated to researching the esoteric and the weird. Join new head archivist Jonathan Sims as he attempts to bring a seemingly neglected collection of supernatural statements up to date, converting them to audio and supplementing them with follow-up work from his small but dedicated team.
Individually, they are unsettling. Together they begin to form a picture that is truly horrifying because as they look into the depths of the archives, something starts to look back…

I listen to a few web dev podcasts so I feel productive even in the car (though I don't try to be very productive anywhere else apparently). My favorite one is Syntax FM While being informative they usually make me laugh even when I don't have first hand experience with the topic.

I listen to a bunch of podcasts, but most of them are news, social commentary, books, and tech.

From NPR: Alt Latino, Code Switch, Embedded, Latino USA, NPR Politics, Pop Culture Happy Hour, Radio Ambulante, and Up First.

More news and commentary: The Daily, New York Radio Hour, The Nod (one of my faves).

Books: The Book Review, ABC Books & Arts (Australian), ABC BooksPlus (Australian)

Tech: iOS Today, This Week in Google, This Week in Tech

I would classify this more as a radio drama than a podcast. Those went out of fashion, when, maybe the 40s? But this was made in the 70s. The Fourth Tower of Inverness.

I'm listening to "I can't believe it's not Buddha" with comedian Lee Mack and Neil Webster. I can't say I'm learning a lot about buddhism, but I'm laughing a lot.

Did you know there's a podcast focused on the Tintin books? I mean there's been more than just this one. There's a few others from a few years back. Just ask Google...

I know the thread is asking for podcasts *I* listen to, but I actually don't listen to this one. I just wanted to highlight how just about every topic under the Sun has been covered by one podcast or another (or in many cases, dozens) by now. I don't see how one finds an audience for a podcast about Tintin, let alone the 3 or more that have streamed. I mean there's only 24 books, so it's certainly not a long-term project by any stretch. Also this podcast, at least on youtube, has 250 subscribers after a year of existence. Good for a typical nightclub audience, not so good for a podcast one. (Yes yes, Spotify, etc. Let me go with this!)

Anyhow, I'm now in search of a podcast topic that has not yet been a podcast. And then I might start a podcast about it.

I listen to a fair number of podcasts, some off and on.

If Books Could Kill is very good. They basically discuss the stupidity of things discussed in out of touch self help books.

I started going through The Word in Black and Red recently. Its a bunch of progressivelefries duscussing the bible from that perspective.

I have also listened to This Week in Tech basically since the begenning.

Weird, I just received (took) a whole set of Tintin albums, still wrapped in cellophane, from an abandoned apartment.

I listen mostly to podcasts on Radio Canada (French), usually when working, so I don’t post them here. The last one was on women finding out they were on the spectrum later in life. Was really good.

I bet Rogan is quaking in his boots (isn't he more of a running shoe guy?) .

RFK Jr. Will Take on Joe Rogan for Podcaster Supremacy

"This isn't going to be about politics," Kennedy insisted about his new podcast.

Doesn't he have a more than full time job right now? Anyway, I'm sure people will be tuning in by the dozens.
