    Yeah Radiolab is fun.

    My other favourite is: Writing Excuses, if you're at all interested in writing, how stories work, etc.

    Listen to some episodes of both podcasts and radio/tv shows that have been made into a podcast. Some examples are:

    Windows Weekly
    NPR Planet Money
    Serial (when it was available)
    Nightlife with Tony Delroy
    3AW is football
    SBS Insight

    Good thread topic. It's interesting to see what podcasts people listen/watch.

    again WTF - Marc Maron is an amazing interviewer.

    • PurchaseAnxiety on 29/07/2015 - 01:29

      Any specific episodes you recommend?

      • svenson on 04/09/2015 - 13:35

        I'd recommend the Louis CK interview particularly. Also enjoyed the PT anderson, and Richard Linklater "boyhood" interviews.

        I came to the game quite late and haven't ventured into the archive, although it is tempting.

        I like other interviews, but it depends on what your interests are

  • billyb67 on 27/07/2015 - 13:22

    This one is pretty specific reviewing music albums by prince and associated artists so you'd have to have some interest in that to listen to this one

    Peach and black podcast

  • kobrien456 on 07/08/2015 - 09:42

    ABC radio. Conversations with Richard Fidler.

    Serial (when it was available)

    Haven't listened to it (well, I started ep 1 a few weeks back actually) but it's listed in my podcast player so I think it's publically available still.

    You'll have to search/use others links if you wish:

    Late Night Live (ABC AU): left leaning in depth stories and analysis. Usually I use the seperate stories podcast to pick and choose. Poor old Phillip Adams is sounding close to death every other week that he's not off sick but he's a gem.

    Radiolab (US): hard to describe Radiolab for the uninitiated … wide ranging stories with a science/people focused bent. Really doesn't do it justice, it's just incredibly interesting and well made

    This American Life (WBEZ US): as they describe themselves: "… takes a theme and does one or more stories related to the theme". This show has an ENORMOUS listenership globally, one of the best radio shows period. Topics range from tales of school janitors acting like mob bosses, a conspiracy involving pig's bums being sold as calamari (no really) to breaking the Foxxconn Apple scandal and then realising that their own reporter fabricated the story so they did a story on the fabrication.

    Isn't it wonderful how "mainstream media" continues to run the Foxxconn story from years ago still without any fact checking at all to find out it was fabricated according to the source that broke the story LEL. If this doesn't convince you that the news is only there to draw your attention with parroted lies nothing will :p

    Wiretap: a comedian talks on the phone to his friends. You gotta listen to it, i can't describe …

    TED Radio Hour: "… takes a theme and does one or more stories related to the theme" again. The usual format is they take 5 or 6 speakers that have given a TED talk and interview them. You might think of it as a carefully curated TED speaker aggregator that groups speakers according to their expertise - and then makes a new show about the topic. It's refreshingly free of over-confident IT nerds promising garbage. It's nice because if a subject interests you you can go and listen to the speakers TED talk afterwards for more info :)

    Counterpoint(abc.net.au) (If Amanda Vanstone doesn't annoy the hell out of you)

    You know it's funny: I was a uni student in the 1990's when she was education minister. So as well as finding the lardarse's attitude annoying she was the face of a policy that lowered my standard of living.

    I used to listen to Counterpoint when Paul Comrie-Thompson (sic?) and the other guy did it but Amanda makes me want to punch her face :|
