| I'm almost done with Serial, but balking because it's helped me get through so many chores! Anything else equally awesome for me to listen to next? |
I've been listening to Invisibilia. It's not quite addictive, but it's well done and has helped fill the Serial shaped void in my life.
|
| I'm a post-Serial pod cast newby as well. I subscribed to This American Life channel. Also I have a friend who's addicted to TED talks on podcast. |
|
Here is a list my Facebook friends and I compiled:
Stuff You Should Know, Stuff You Missed in History, Stuff Mom Never Told You, Invisibilia, TED Radio Hour, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, This American Life, The Moth Podcast, RadioLab, Criminal, 99% Invisible, Start Up Podcast, They Signed, The History Chicks, and the allusionist Judge John Hodgman, Freakonomics, Bill Burr Monday Morning Podcast, Reply All (Start Up spinoff), America's Test Kitchen, Fresh Air (sometimes), Bullseye, Slate Spoiler Specials, Pop Culture Happy Hour, Slate's Culture Gabfest, In Conversation with Jeff Garlin, Death, Sex and Money |
| My sister swears "How to Do Everything" is hysterical, but I haven't tried it yet (still on Serial!) |
I listen to a ton of these podcasts! I really like My Brother My Brother and Me, Risk, and Throwing Shade. WTF is an incredible interview podcast hosted by Marc Maron. Really indepth, hour long conversations with some very interesting people. Check out Maximumfun.com, they have a lot of good podcasts (including judge John hodgman). |
| I love Dinner Party Download and Radiolab. |
|
Sword & Scale does all sorts of true crime podcasts. Some of them are very explicit, disturbing and hard to listen to but the same genre of Serial.
They did a 2 part podcast about the Morgan Ingram case that was really interesting if you are familiar with it. |
| I love How Did This Get Made? which makes fun of horrible movies and I second the rec for My Brother, My Brother and Me. They are funny and listening to their banter helps pass my chore and commute times. |
| Try downloading books from Overdrive. They're free through the public library. I just listened to all three Hunger Games books. Crazy good. |
| I'm hooked on Smartest Man in the World. It's just a comedian (Greg Proops) talking about random things and what's going on in the world, and I find him very funny. Warning: He's quite liberal, swears now and then, and has a fondness for vodka and pot, so it's earbud material. |

WTF.
As you might guess, not appropriate with small children in the car. |
I've been doing this lately, but it's hit or miss on availability. |
me again. But the fact that they're free is awesome. Recently I had a book that I would read a book at home, then pick up where I left off, on audio at the gym. |
| This is going to be a really dumb question, but how do you listen to Podcasts in your car? Do you download them to an Ipod and listen through bluetooth? |
