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

Second Captains
Documentary on One
The Guardian Long Read
-
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?
-
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.
-
Second Captains are the standard bearer in Ireland in my opinion and would give particular praise to Richie Sadliers' series of interviews called 'The Players Chair' as he gets a range of guests from all different sports. I find podcasts a great way to learn about other sports and niche topics too that the mainstream media don't always cover.
They are by no means perfect but if you are after something more GAA focused, we've done 19 one-on-one interviews with GAA players on the Real Talks podcast now. They usually last for an hour or so and focus on sport, life, passions and life outside the sporting bubble - we just tried to show a different side to GAA players. Kevin McManamon, Eamon McGee, Oisin McConville, Brendan Maher, Cora Staunton and Philly McMahon have been the most popular episodes so far. If interested, you can find them at RealTalks.ie or search 'Real Talks' into your podcast app.
-
Crimetown is a good real crime one about Providence, Rhode Island and their corruption, mafia etc.
I was recommended S Town and it started good but tailed off badly I thought. Last few episodes I was going through the motions to listen to them.
Must start that Serial. Think it is the same crew that do S Town.

Yeah Crimetown definitely worth a listen. Some characters in it.
-
My Dad Wrote a Porno is very funny.
-
The Blindboy Podcast is the best about at the minute.
Couldn't agree more. Brilliant stuff.
-
Slow Burn by Slate.com, which is about Watergate, is great.
-
If future technology, AI etc float your boat then I'd recommend the Anatomy of Next.
-
I'd listen to quite a few different ones, some every week and some I dabble in.
Joe Rogan occasionally, just because I'm a mega leftie liberal and he's about the closest thing to a right winger I can stomach and it's no harm to listen to the other side every so often. Just a note, never watch a Joe Rogan clip on YouTube or every single one of your suggested videos will be either Joe Rogan or crazy right wing conspiracy theory videos. Brutal.
Dan Carlins hidden history. Excellent podcasts exploring different events, but they're just too long for me unless I'm on a 3 hour drive as I prefer to listen to them all in one go.
Second Captains. It's good but I don't subscribe and find the main fella Ken very annoying.
Off the Ball - Pretty much the full range but I only listen religiously to the GAA pods.
The GAA hour - The best GAA podcast by a mile even though Parkinson is a tit.
We are Ulster - they only put out the odd one so I always listen in.
Flintoff, Savage and the Ping Pong Guy - Listened to all of this. Actually very interesting and Savage isn't the tit I always thought he was.
-
Listening to Joe Rogan actively makes you less intelligent. Non stop pseudo scientific nonsense presented as fact.
He's alright when talking about MMA.
-
The Blindboy Podcast is the best about at the minute.
Couldn't agree more. Brilliant stuff.
I really enjoy the Blindboy one.
An Irishman abroad is also excellent as James O'Briens mystery hour
-
The Irish History Podcast with Finn Dwyer is excellent, particularly the series on the Famine. It'll get your blood boiling. He does Famine Walking tours round Dublin too, which I'll definitely be booking.
Oh, and Blindboy is great.
-
Dan Carlin Hardcore History - very good the length of them as said before can kind of put you off though.
Danielle Bolleli History on Fire similar to above but more managable pieces.
Irish History Podcast has some great content as does the Irish History Show, these were what got me into podcasts
Body of Knowledge Season 1 was very good talking about anatomy and how muscles etc work and grow, Season 2 bored the pish out of me
Waking Up with Sam Harris, disagree with pretty much everything he believes but can be an interesting listen.
What Android Apps are people using, I use Podcast Addict and have to say I find it very good.
-
I use podcast addict as well. It was the first one i came across so I have just continued to use that.
I have no idea if its the best option or not?
-
Dan Carlins 5 episodes (about 15 hours) on the First World war was a great listen.
-
I'd use podcast addict, too. Always very reliable.

Ive always used an app called PlayerFM for podcasts. Like yourself it was the 1st one i came across. Never had a problem with it.
-
Blind boy does an unexpectedly great podcast. Always look forward to a Wednesday commute.
Listen to almost all of the previous posters listings as well. All worth a listen
-
Any good stand-up comedy ones lads?
After the famine series I need a bit of cheering up!
-
The Crimetown people have started a new one about RFK, right up my street. Two episodes released so far, I have only listened to the first but it was a good start.

Cheers Don. Will definitely get on that.

Ben Greenfield
Tim Ferris
Model Health Show
Jocko Podcast
These are my four stables at the minute
-
I second the Jocko Podcast.
Some great Vietnam War episodes if you're into that sort of thing.
-
Dan Carlins 5 episodes (about 15 hours) on the First World war was a great listen.
Excellent
-
Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez is def worth a listen.
-
Caliphate from the NYT is excellent.
For history lovers, Fall of Rome and Tides of History are both great.
-
This has probably been covered but what's the best sports podcast available at the minute?
General sports one that cover random sports topics.

Second Captains, various Off the Ball ones?
-
Started listening to one on Apple podcasts called 'Mafia' original i know, basically takes a well known figure from the different eras of the mafia and going through their life story talking to writers, former law enforcement etc, listened to the donny Brasco one last night and really enjoyed it.
-
The Joe Rogan Tyson Fury episode was very good.
Also the Pound for Pound Carl Froch one just to hear how bitter Froch is about everything.
-
The last two Blindboy live podcasts have been very good. David McWilliams and Roddy Doyle on as guests
-
Two Jonnies is very light hearted and enjoyable
Blindboy is very good and would get you thinking
Off the ball the GAA is worth a listen
We are Cavan I pay the fiver for it and really enjoy the content
Real talks is interesting depending on the guest
We are Ulster good for northies
Serial the first series is brilliant but I don't think its hit the same heights since
GAA Joe is good and enjoy the content
Secret teacher is a crime podcast
The radio never gets turned on!
-
Used to quite like The Anfield Wrap but find them unbelievably smug at times, especially Neil Atkinson, loves the sound of his own voice and won’t let anyone else speak.
-
Slow Burn by Slate.com, which is about Watergate, is great.
I started listening to this and then went on summer holidays and forgot about it.
A belated thanks for the reminder!
-
Anyone interested in US politics, The Daily from The NY Times is excellent. Basically a 20 minute look at some current issue of the day, setting it in context and history, no screaming, not preachy.
-

Just started listening to Blood Red from the Liverpool Echo. Not bad so far.
Used to listen to ESPN FC with Steve Nicol, Craig Burley, Shaka Hislop etc., but you get tired of them all taking the piss and shouting, while not giving much in the way of football analysis.
I like Dunphy’s interviews with Giles and Brady on English football, even if Dunphy could tone down the sycophancy.
He also interviews Niall Stanage, a northern lad who works for The Hill. Usually interesting inside-Washington stuff.

Yeah very good, listened to the Watergate one and now onto the Bill Clinton/Lewinsky one.
-
The last two Blindboy live podcasts have been very good. David McWilliams and Roddy Doyle on as guests
They really were. His Spike Lee one was class too.
Looking forward to the Bernadette Devlin one dropping.
-
I listened to the Hurricane Tapes, a13 part BBC podcast (just completed) and it's an exceptional addition to the story of Rubin Hurricane Carter.
The two guys did an amazing amount of research into old and new material and the end product is enjoyably educational.

Was at a recording of the Blindboy live podcast in Castleblayney last Saturday night. A very interesting discussion on the arts, the guests were Abbie Spallen and Trish Lambe. I wasn’t too sure what to expect but really enjoyed it.

I saw he has one coming up in Belfast and I would be tempted to go. Does he notify who the guest are beforehand or do you just go and find out?

I've started to listen to a Podcast called Motherfoclóir it's in english but revolves around the Irish Language. I don't speak Irish myself but its normally an interesting listen.

He normally tweets out who the guests are and asks for questions.

Does anyone listen to podcasts on their Alexa and if so what app do they use? I can obviously link through my phone but its clunky if you want to use your phone for something else and I find podcasts take up an awful amount of storage.
-
Have been listening to The Peter Crouch podcast lately, its very good and very funny at times.
-
What's the best hurling podcast out at the minute?

Yes, listened to a few. They’re very good.
Anyone who remembers the Premier League in the 90’s might like ‘Quickly Kevin, Will He Score?’ - The 90s Football Show Podcast. Listened to a few so far. Very very good, and a bit of nostalgia. Looks like they’ve stopped making them, but plenty of them still available. Definitely worth a listen.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - Wrath of the Khans

His podcasts are class!
For boxing fans give "Boxing Life Stories" by Tris Dixon a wee listen.
-
Theo Von's "This Past Weekend" and Chris Delia's "Congratulations" are very, very funny if you like podcasts from comedians.
-
Never listened to Pod Casts, but was recommended the Joe Rogan experience, he done two with Brian Cox, very very interesting and we'll, diddnt understand half of it, Inflationary multi verses 🤯🤯

West Cork (Sophie Toscan du Plantier), could remind you at times of Straw Dogs.

A lot of the podcasts I listen to have already been mentioned on the thread, but I find the following good:
- That Peter Crouch podcast: He seems like a funny down to earth guy and the other 2 aren't afraid to pull him up on things that he takes for granted
- Quickly Kevin, will he score: Excellent 90s football podcast with comedian Josh Widdicombe.
- Irish History podcast with Fin Dwyer
- The 2 Johnnies podcast: This may be old news, but I just found out about these lads recently (I live in Australia) and enjoying their podcast
- The David McWilliams podcast: Find his stuff intriguing. He talks about wide ranges of topics and links it back to economics. Don't need to know anything about economics to enjoy
- Casefile: A good true crime podcast. Produced in Australia, so has an Aussie bias to the crimes they cover, but have done a lot of the bigger worldwide stories like the moors murders etc. If you want to know all the details about Ivan Milat (backpacker murders) or Daniel Morcombe (13 year old that disappeared - how they caught the killer is too unbelievable even for a movie)
- GAA hour with Colm Parkinson: I wasn't a Woolly fan before I started listening, but this is an essential GAA resource. Detailed reviews of games. Any bias are usually stated so you can take it into account. And generally neither the bland 'don't want to offend anyone' type analysis nor the personal attacks (though Parkinson does sometimes use the podcast to further his spats with the likes of Brolly, Poacher etc)
- Mayo News Podcast: For all things one-sided Mayo GAA. Particularly helpful during club season, FBD and league
- Balls.ie: Surprisingly good, though not as good imo since they lost Maurice Brosnan
- Off the ball, Second captains etc
- various AFL podcasts
-
I follow very few as I don't get to listen to many but when I get a chance i'll listen to the below:
OTB Golf Podcast - Usually once a week
Blindboy Podcast - I only listen to the live podcasts wouldn't be greatly fussed on the others
Full Disclosure with James O'Brien - Some very good interviews with interesting people on it
Ireland Unfiltered with Dion Fanning - Again some good interviews
The Stand with Dunphy - I really enjoy the gangland stuff he did and he has some good interviews as well
Joe Rogan Podcast - I dip in and out if there's a gues I want to listen to. Derren Brown/Tyson Fury/Bill Burr/Jamie Foxx some good ones
I'm sure there are many other good ones but that's what I get the chance to listen to. I'd love to get into Bob Mortimer's podcast Athletico Mince I think he's hilarious and have heard some good skits from it.

Enjoy Dunphy too, although he often goes easy on some of the guests, regardless of their views. Brendan O'Neill is a regular contributor ("Ardent Brexiteer" is quoted almost as often as Tesco Finest!) and Ben Lowry was on recently. Wouldn't mind him or possibly another guest on at the same time to grill these pair on their views.

Brendan O'Neill is an absolutely vile piece of shit!!
I actually feel sorry for Lowry I think he is genuinely stupid and is struggling with the move towards unification!!

I think he was on the news there in the last few days saying about how everybody is overreacting, and we've never closed the pubs etc. You do wonder sometimes about people who are supposedly educated and smart.
On the podcast topic itself:
An Irishman Abroad - Jarlath Regan - good back catalogue with interviews from various backgrounds
Few of the local comedians
Shane Todd - Tea with me
Colin Geddis - General Banter
Aaron McCann - Dirt Civil
Shagged Married Annoyed - light listening about married couple who i'm sure a lot can relate to!
Open Goal - Si Ferry, Kevin Kyle and Paul Slane - scottish football related, with some episodes being interviews with former players
-
The Nobody Zone is an excellent podcast, about the Irish serial killer in London.

You can add Owen Polley onto that list with Lowry ,

On RTE's website there's a very decent library of their radio documentaries, available as podcasts for download
https://www.rte.ie/radio1/podcast/podcast_documentaryonone.xml (https://www.rte.ie/radio1/podcast/podcast_documentaryonone.xml)
With RTE's website, rule of thumb is turn off adblockers
-
Colin Murray’s new one is very good and his At Home series is worth a listen as well.
-
Thanks for The Nobody Zone recommendation. Really enjoyed that. Similar style to the Maddie podcast series. I had never heard of Ciaran Kelly beforehand so this was all new to me. Fascinating stuff.
-
Yeah Nobody Zone was excellent. Is there any others that are similar that are worth listening to?
-
I listened to the Stand episode 493 with the 3 lads Dunphy Giles Brady picking their best EPL team of this season.
The discussion had hardly started in earnest when war broke out as the young pup Brady took umbrage with one Giles' selections.
And then it was Dunphy's role to calm the storm.
Good fun and possibly a twinge of bias against Man City, hardly noticable though..

Haven’t listened to that one yet, but when the 3 lads are together they are great fun. Dunphy dislikes City (being a curious mix of a Liverpool supporter and ex-ManU (reserves) player). Giles would generally defend City when Dunphy goes too far. They all hate Pogba, and Ozil too!
Dunphy’s covering Covid well, interviews about Spain, Italy, Sweden as well as Ireland, UK, US

Only Brady picked de Bruine ;D
I listened to Stand podcast 683, an interview with the Sweden based journalist Philip O’Connor about covid there. My (non-Irish) wife passing by eavesdropped and remarked with the understatement ´jesus, that guy talks fast’.

Listened to that podcast myself. I normally listen on speed 1.5 myself, so it was a bit of a challenge to pick him up! Wasn't for admitting defeat and reverting to normal speed though.

"Daniel Morcombe"
Just listened to that one, kind of got the jist of how it was gonna get solved from this case "Atif Rafay, along with friend Sebastian Burn" - similar technique, was on a series on Netflix (US)
-
The scrubs rewatch one with the two main star, Zach and Donald, is pretty good. One episode a week and theyre 2 episodes in.

Bearbrook (start of family DNA), Dirty John, Man in the Window (Golden State killer) , Murder book, Running from Cops (about the making of the show Cops) all US true crime. "Root of Evil" crazy show about a crazy family possibly linked to Black Dahlia case.
"The Dark North" is great show about mafia in Montreal - someone mentioned "Crimetown" it's a bit similar to that, but with insane French Canadian bikers.
BBC show 'Shreds' really good on police corruption, false convictions etc set in Wales. Really good.

Halfway through the Unheard: The Fred and Rosemary West Tapes at the minute. Not sure if it has been mentioned before on here. Interesting stuff. It's not something I would have delved into before.

Probably one for the GAA section, but just listened to Thomas O'Se's podcast with McGeeney. Thought it was damn good.

I’m a few episodes into “Wind of change”
Podcast series about a theory that the song from the skorpians “ Wind of Change” was a CIA sponsored phsyops move on Russia round about the time the iron curtain was falling , it goes into detail on how the CIA used Nina Simone and Louis Armstrong in Africa in the 60’s to halt the spread of communism
It’s actually very interesting and is formatted similar to “the nobody zone “ in that it’s a documentary type podcast vs a talking shop
I’m enjoying it , it’s worth a go

I didn't get the claimed virtue about the Nobody Zone podcast.
The character (ex cop) who wrote the book about the supposed serial killer was exposed as deluded to an unknown extreme.
Apart from that, the English cops got their guy for a murder or two, he claimed he did more and was willing to trade info in order for an easier time but his evidence on the extra murders did not pass muster. The podcast investigator did not come up with any new decent evidence.
Afaics the English cops did alright, they got their man, proved him guilty and did not introduce fantasy conspiracy evidence into the equation.

A couple that have been recommended to me lately - haven't seen them discussed on here:
- 13 Minutes to the Moon
BBC World service produced this -
Season 1 is called How we landed on the moon. Goes through the lead up to the moon landing in great depth. I am on Ep5 and enjoying it. Last episode dealt with the Apollo 1 tragedy.
Season 2 is entitled The Apollo 13 Story
- Guru: The Dark Side of Entitlement
Produced by Wondery, who are famous for Dr Death, Dirty John and others.
I have just listened to episode 1 and intrigued - the story deals with self help, life coach type guru, a pseudo science that is becoming a bit of a growth industry
James Arthur Ray was an Oprah-endorsed self-help teacher who achieved fame, fortune, and influence. But friends and family members of his followers questioned his unorthodox methods, and tried to stop him.

I'll second 13 Minutes To The Moon. Just the right amount of geeky engineering content without going overboard, and let's face it it's an interesting story!

The Nobody Zone is an excellent podcast, about the Irish serial killer in London.
For any of the ones on here who listened to this series, there are now new episodes out as I believe some new evidence has been uncovered.
