Podcasts

[Soup an Samajiz]

I was complaining the other day about rush hour traffic and a friend suggested I start listening to Podcasts to put the time in. I checked the Podcast App on my phone like he said and I couldn't believe just how much was there... does anyone else use the app and can suggest a few good channels on whatever subjects...

Podcastone.com, a lot of US based stuff but quite a large variety

What app do you use on android?

I like the second captains one, would usually listen to it.

TuneIn Radio or SoundCloud.

TuneIn is good but doesn't let you download (as far as I know) which is a pain.

My phone always picks out TuneIn radio as being very heavy on the battery, even when not in use.

I would still listen to the odd episode of An Irishman Abroad but I think the interviewer is getting progressively worse at interviewing people. The Padraig Harrington one recently was decent though and the Shane Lowry one from a fortnight ago was okay but nothing special as he has stopped really asking interviewees about their background.

100% agree, it's got to the stage now where I've quit downloading them but made an exception for Harrington and Lowry.
The first few dozen were great, then after that got progressively worse , everything and everybody was referenced back to standup comedy and if the interviewee WAS a standup comic we were treated to a full on " this is how I write and prepare my stand up"! Boring after a while and to be honest he's starting to get a bit patronising.

Some of the scroobius pip interviews are good podcasts, great interviews.

The Blindboy Podcast is the best about at the minute.

Just out of curiosity when do you get time to listen to a podcast?

[JimStynes]

I listen to them on the way to and from work, cutting the grass, doing the housework, sometimes for half an hour before I go to sleep. Basically any chance I get. Would very rarely listen to the radio now. They’re great.

Jesus he’s hard to listen to. He gets a lot of good people on to interview but his voice and his slow long drawn out way of asking questions is annoying.
