[Pedro2486]

Travelling between different mine sites often I have much downtime and music only gets me so far. So I have become an avid consumer of podcasts of all types. I also really enjoy them kicking back with a nice cigar

My faves are:

Hardcore History (a amateur history show, nice long and well researched)

Major Spoilers (comics, movies etc)

Critical Hit (A D&D podcast)

Gamers Tavern (more nerd game stuff)

Hidden Grid (shadowrun RPG)

SOFREP (military)

Anyone else a podcast fan?

If so, what are your favourites and what would you recommend to others?

I listen to the SYSK (Stuff You Should Know) podcast's relgiously, a new one each Tuesday and Thursday.

Funny, informative but very approachable.

Great thread, I've been trying to find good podcasts. Spend at least 2 hours a day commuting, and sometimes you are just too drained after work to read.

I like Tim Ferriss in general, he has a podcast up on www.fourhourworkweek.com/podcast

[Ryan]

There are two I listen to weekly

This American Life, been a fan since the 90s.

99% Invisible, this is about design, from the saying "Good design is 99% invisible".

[Lasabar]

I subscribe to the following:

Adam Carolla - He has great guests that are funny, but he can go off on tangents that are boring.

Chewin' It with Kevin and Steve - (Two of the guys from Super Troopers) It's young so not professional, but those guys can be funny.

Nerdist

The only cigar podcast I've ever listened to was "Blowing Smoke Podcast" but it was too local and not very informative to my tastes.

The Dan Lebatard Show (ESPN Radio / 790 The Ticket) + Various Podcasts form the Grantland site.

Recommend both if you like American sports. The Lebatard show does have a lot of inside jokes that you won't really get unless you listen frequently.

[Zedman05]

I have about 10 hours a day to listen to podcasts, so I tend to load up with these regulars, and some more that are off and on.

[Overproof]

Glad I found this post. I've subscribe to a couple suggested, especially the Kevin Smith ones.

A couple I've been listening to.

The Combat Jack Show - Old hip-hop attorney interviewing past and present Hip-Hop artists.

Drink Champs - Rapper, NOREs show doing much of the above. Great industry stories here.

I am Rapaport - **** talk from actor Michael Rapaport an his co host Gerald Moody. Greasy NY talk. Love it. Dudes pretty knowledgeable with his sports (especially basketball) so you get a bit of that too.

Cheers!

Another "Stuff" fan, both SYSK, and Missed in History, though I don't like the current girls as much as the previous. Also listen to Planet Money and Freakenomics Radio too. For my recreational podcasts, it's PulpMX for motocross and JRA of mountain bike radio for mountain biking.

Oh, and another miner here too. Seems like quite a few for a cigar forum!

...damn I didn't check the dates of the thread!

I haven't been bitten hard by the bug, but the two I enjoy are

I especially like Cigar Surgeon's habanos reviews.

[planetary]

Currently active & still favorites:

• Giant Bombcast and their new Giant Beastcast - video games; almost prefer the Beastcast these days
• The West Wing Weekly - one of the great TV shows (new series)
• Unfettered Mind - secular Buddhism discussion, focused on one's resting in one's experience, w/o the religion
• 538 & 538 Elections

Past greats, gone or fallen:

• portafilter.net podcast - the "third wave" espresso & coffee scene from the mid-2000s
• Ante Up (the old one) - a poker podcast, best when special guest Mike Fasso appeared
• Stogie Geeks - the earliest episodes before it became a heavily sponsored ad fest & interview show
• The Partially Examined Life - early episodes terrific if you have a little background in philosophy; they've since become a bit too diffuse
• HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast - back when they were working their way through the author's work

Just ok:

• Roguelike Radio - super niche podcasts about the classic game genre & designing such games
• My Brother, My Brother, and Me - comedy
• 99% Invisible
• Welcome to Night Vale - my kids love it; we played it while driving all over the Big Island of Hawaii on our family vacation last year; to me, it wears thin a bit too quickly

My "to investigate" queue:

• Radiolab - supposed to be very good
• Singularity 1 on 1
• Bunch of niche author podcasts: A Podcast to the Curious, The Outer Dark, The Cromcast, Tanis, The No Sleep Podcast
• Oyez - US Supreme Court case discussion
• Surely You're Joking - comedy and science
• Data Skeptic
• The History of Philosophy without Gaps
