Remember, ask for FUN radio talk- or you'll get Dori from Kiro

You only listen to two talk podcasts? For shame!

GFW Radio -- officially dead as of this week, but the old episodes are all great and they won't feel that out of date since a lot of the conversations are timeless.

This Week in Tech -- a general roundup of technology news with a number of former CNet/Ziff personalities. It's not so good that it's worth delving into their archives, but if you wanna keep up with tech news there's not many better options.

The Best Show on WMFU -- a weekly talk show from a non-profit freeform radio station out of New Jersey (I had no idea that such things existed before listening). You probably won't "get it" the first time you listen, but stick with it for a 4-5 episodes before you quit.

The Ricky Gervais Show -- only available for a price, in the Audiobooks section of iTunes. Always hilarious, and worth every penny. If you are still averse to spending monye, you can check out old episodes of the XFM Ricky Gervais show from British radio at http://www.pilkipedia.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Download:Xfm

SModcast -- semi-weekly podcast done by Kevin Smith and his producer, Scott Mosier. Even if you hate Smith's movies, the humor and raunchy chatter here is sure to win you over.

The Sound of Young America -- host Jesse Thorn interviews undeniably great people from the world of comedy. It's like NPR's Fresh Air, but without Joan Didion breaking down into tears or the political nonsense.

As border suggested, SModcast is pretty awesome

TVC15 · « **Reply #4 on:** September 23, 2008, 03:49:25 AM »

I'm not listening to any gaming podcasts. I used to listen to the Gervais one when it was for free. I've always been a TAL fan, but I didn't hunger for constant talk content until I listened to Too Beautiful to Live.

I'll check out SModcast. I'd kinda rather have weekly-ish things than more daily-ish things like TBTL.

I know you're an AV Club fan, which probably means you're a Dan Savage fan, which probably means you already know about Dan Savage's weekly and awesome podcast.
So I'm just throwing that out there.

It's not talk radio or anything, but NPR's Live Concerts from all Songs Considered is pretty incredible.

Skeptics Guide and Dan Savage, I'll give them a shot. Not really looking for music-related stuff unless it is talky, but thank you for the suggestion.

TVC15 · « **Reply #9 on:** September 23, 2008, 04:40:51 PM »

After finally getting into podcasts, I am considering starting my own. It would be Socio-cast, where a sociopath drinks an entire bottle of wine while reading from the sociological texts of michel foucault. I think it will be pretty much awesome. I will also be recording as I bazooka vomit.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #10 on:** September 23, 2008, 04:42:58 PM »

i have been wanting to do a podcast for ages, but i don't want to do one alone

i did a couple of halloween-themed ones last year, introducing some otr shows

say the word, choose the theme/subject, and i'll pitch in however i can

demi told me i have a decent voice

TVC15 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 23, 2008, 07:41:08 PM »

I dunno, I am tempted to go get a bottle of Carlo Rossi (or some other cheapass wine) read from Discipline and Punish for a bit, and then go on a drunken rant about the modern day lumpenproletariats and how a violent cleansing of certain hated marginalized groups in society and tightly monitored drug use are the cures for all of society's ills. Eventually I'll just throw up, and it will be awesome.

Maybe I can make a soundtrack by running my new Kaossilator through my MicroKORG. I can probably make an unholy racket by running synthesizers through other synthesizers.

Savage is really from The Stranger, Seattle's greatest newspaper ever. Not the Onion.

Savage used to have a weekly call in show on KCMU (now known as KEXP) when I was in high school called Savage Love Live. It was like Loveline, but 1,000,000 times more messed up. Sadly, it didn't last very long.

I have long wanted to do a podcast, but I'd need at least 2 more people and I don't know anybody else that'd be interested or very good at it.

If you're looking for a music podcast, I like "The Ongoing History of New Music" by Alan Cross. He's been doing the show for years so there's a good back catalogue of stuff

They could call it "Dumpster lovin' with the Rape Brothers" or something equally offensive.

TVC15 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 24, 2008, 04:05:45 AM »

I have already begun planning the first episode of the Socio-cast, complete with basically atonal noise music composed in the japanese miyakobushi scale, just so I am at least targeting the Evilbore demographic.

TVC15 · « **Reply #26 on:** September 24, 2008, 07:23:17 PM »

I'm not really feeling Smodcast :-/

border · « **Reply #27 on:** September 24, 2008, 11:32:04 PM »

The most recent episode of SModcast was not the greatest, IMO. It's been a bit too dick-oriented lately.

Ones to check out would be:

#28 Scottacita Wants a Carnita! -- the guys get hold of a book detailing the most bizarre experiments ever created (the headless chicken that lived for years, what happened when researchers gave acid to elephants) and they give their thoughts and reactions. Even if you don't like Smith/Mosier, it's still pretty interesting to hear about some of the bizarre research that has been conducted throughout the years.

#56 And Now a Word from Our Sponsor -- contains an extended discussion of the most disgusting thing you'd do to satisfy the dreams of a Make-A-Wish kid.

#13 SFodcast -- hilarious stories from a flea-market outing.

#15 The Pretty Good Worker -- contains a long discussion where the guys contemplate the possibility that Helen Keller was a hoax.

TVC15 · « **Reply #28 on:** September 25, 2008, 01:26:07 AM »

I went back and listened to the one before the new one (the newest one, which I did not like was titled SMod-kushed, the one previous was The Human Quilt), and that one was pretty fucking hilarious.

border · « **Reply #29 on:** September 25, 2008, 01:41:35 AM »

Unbelievably enough SMod-Kushed is the only episode where Kevin Smith gets high before/during the discussion. So it's not really representative of the rest of the shows -- plus some of the more funny chatter is a little "inside" for new listeners to appreciate.

The episode prior to that was pretty good. I'm not sure if I really liked the extended roleplay with the lead singer of Journey, but the Paul Bunyan discussion was great.

TVC15 · « **Reply #30 on:** September 25, 2008, 02:10:25 AM »

I don't know. . .they had that Journey thing going for like 20 minutes, and Mosier kept saying the right words and phrases to max out that fake-ass british accent. I'm pretty sure they had to be high for that, too.

border · « **Reply #31 on:** September 25, 2008, 02:48:40 AM »

Mosier doesn't smoke, or so he claims. Roleplay is probably one of the more common elements in recent episodes, though it rarely goes on for as long as the Journey thing. I liked that he said "Brother" once and got immediately called out on it ("Why are you talking like the guy from Lost?")

TVC15 · « **Reply #32 on:** September 25, 2008, 03:00:59 AM »

I had at least 3-4 legitimate lol episodes during that specific podcast, so I'd say it was good. I listened to that SMod-kushed one first, and I was just like "boy, this isn't even approaching as good as his rambling awesome speaking appearances." After that Human Quilt episode, though, I will give it a shot. I downloaded the eps you recommended and tossed them on ye olde Zune.

Second the vote for The Savage Lovecast. That is some critically interesting stuffs; I listen just about every day, because I've still got bits of backlog to get through.

Both of these episodes had me out of control laughing at points, and I usually don't even laugh all that much. Gimme more ep recs!

The Penny-Arcade and PvP guys sat down to try out DnD 4e with the Wizards of the Coast guys in a series of podcasts. I have listened to the first two, and find them pleasing. Then again, I'm jonesing for traditional pen-and-paper RPGing in a way that would give Gygax's unturned corpse wood.

This week's SModcast is pretty good, though I haven't listened to it so far.

The recent episode "Clone Wars" was also fairly entertaining, though like a lot of the episodes recorded in Jersey the levels are kinda messed up. Best to listen to that one with headphones.

Madrun Badrun · « **Reply #39 on:** October 06, 2008, 12:11:56 AM »

The penny arcade D&D stuff was fucking funny.

examples of what it's like:

- game names his character Jim Darkmagic of the New Hampshire DarkMagics.

- He asks the DM how he should refer to his character, in first person or third person. DM says it doesn't matter. Gabe then chooses to to refer to his character in the first person, but that his character is an asshole that refers to himself in the third person.
