Podcasts To Kill The Time

[cidy]

2 of the cast of sopranos doing a podcast Michael imperioli and Steve schirippa ( Christopher and Bobby) 

They are doing a podcast for every episode so could take a while 

Only listened to a few but some great insight to how it started and some funny stories already., might have to start watching it again now probably my favourite u.s show of all time

Does anyone have any podcast recommendations to kill time at home? Share here!

I made an inventory of podcasts I currently listen to. Some of these are actively daily, weekly or not been around for a while but still available to download:

 

Fuck me that is a lot of Podcasts to listen to. I get through maybe a couple a week if I am lucky. Where do you find time to do anything else

 

Edit - Unless you are saying you have listened to, as your post seems to suggest you are listening too at the moment

Yeah it’s a bit extreme. I broke my leg a couple of years ago so went through quite a few sitting on my arse off work on the beach, some are from ten years ago at uni writing dissertation & some episodes I skip if I’m not fussed about the guest.

Ones I listen to daily are Christian O’Connell, weekly Hamish & Andy, Danny Wallace, Ed Gamble & Matt Crosby, Chris Moyles, Rock & Roll Football, Quickly Kevin.

Others are a bit more sporadic.

The latest episode of Chart Music, by far my favourite podcast, contains one contributor's 30 minute(!) evisceration of Oasis.

It's a pure joy to listen to!

Enjoyed an hour on the beach today listening to Fighting Talk’s end of Premier League special.

The live Bugle was v funny last night (disclaimer: I was drinking rum) - you can watch it back here:

Brilliant “Hero of the Week” little piece on Kraftwerk & Florian Schneider on Johnny Vaughns podcast this week.

[Brave Sir Robin]

Great thread, some excellent recommendations on here that I know of, looking forward to sampling some of the others. I really rate:

1) S-Town - incredible piece of journalism/real-life drama

2) Making Sense - neuroscientist, philosopher and meditation guru Sam Harris talks to other Very Clever People - life-enhancing

3) Off Menu - as mentioned numerous times above, James Acaster and Ed Gamble talk to a wonderful array of guests about the different elements of their dream menu - interesting and at times hysterical

And Dr Buggles, obviously.

Has anyone listened to Acaster's series on the music of 2016?

[deebeedoobee]

Really enjoying Sodajerker. Thank you to whoever recommended that one. Johnny Marr accompanied me on my run today.

Tempted to purchase Dr. Buggles audiobook called Ramble Talk. Not sure what it is about but anything Adam Buxton is interesting & funny.

Perfect Sounds

The book it's based on is Perfect Sound Whatever

They're both good

Ramble Book.

Got it a few days ago. Only listened to the first could of chapters so far but enjoying it. It's exactly what you think it's going to be, but if you're a fan that's no bad thing

It’s good & a quick listen. I love Acaster, tried to watch his Repetoire shows at EdFringe but there was too much else on I wanted to see. I saw Represent & it was brilliant. Used to enjoy him on Josh Widdecombe’s XFM show too. Classic Scrapes.

Opps. I love Buckles, ex took me to The Bug at BFI in Bradford. Everything touches isn’t gold but it is bloody funny.

Saw him on his last tour, Cold Lasagne, hate myself, 1999. Brilliant stuff

Any tips for podcasts similar to Jay Rayner's Out (Now in) To Lunch?

Loved Off Menu too, however getting a bit lost with the guests now; less recognisable for me.

[Bisque]

Caught up with some Grounded with Louis Theroux. I love that some guests come on as friends but still get a grilling.

Just finished the KSI one and he reveals how much money he makes from Youtube & I think he thought he would get away with some of the direct questions about his dubious past, I don’t think he was expecting them.

I listened to all 8 parts of Wind of Change this week. A New Yorker journalist is informed that the Scorpions song Wind of Change was actually written by the CIA in order to create unrest in the USSR. Sounds ridiculous, but they've got form for wild ideas such as Doctor Zhivago, and a full on hollywood production to diguise hostage retrieval  in Iran (as seen in Argo). Takes in CIA madness along with 80s hair metal, and the Moscow Music Peace Festival.

Friend of the show Matt Hoss has a brand new podcast out called Castival. He chats to comedians etc about their perfect festival line ups, including location, food & alternative activities.

First episode is with Nathan Caton who I have seen many times & one of my favourite comedians.

Here is an article with Matt talk about his top 5 festivals... https://narcmagazine.com/bunch-of-fives-matt-hoss/

Down in the Hole is a great Podcast about the Wire.

If like me you think it is the greatest show ever, I recommend. Reviews every episide in order, so you need to start at the beginning.

[Homer]

If you want to get informed, I highly recommend this. They really know their stuff re corruption and dictatorships. Mainly US-based stuff but veers into Brexit and Russia (obvs). Latest ep they go big on Gislaine Maxwell and the Trump RUssian bounty on US troops scandal.
