Who listens to Podcasts?

[springheeljack]

The subject basically sums it up I'm just wondering how many people on the Escapist actively listen to Podcasts and which ones do you listen to? Right now the ones I have been listening to are New York City Crime Report, News Whore with Mandy Stadmiller, You Made it Weird with Pete Holmes and Never Not Funny

 

[Foolery]

I wouldn't say actively but I do listen to the HateBitPodcast's E3 damage report. Mostly because I don't have anyone in person that I can talk about video games and junk with.

I do not know if it counts since the podcasts I listen to are just my radio stations morning shows ("Dave Ryan in the Morning", though my love for that show is quickly draining and "The Powertrip", a sports radio show that I love since they don't do music at all so it's all talk).

If you do not count that, I do once in a while listen to "We're Alive", a zombie podcast. That ended about two years ago but I found it late, which is great since I get to go at my own pace.

I used to listen to The Escapist podcasts but once Susan left, it was like the teacher left the classroom and everyone else just horsed around and bounced all over the damn place. It was incredibly annoying to listen to. That may have now improved so I may give it another chance because I could really use a video game podcast to listen to...

I usually listen to Shamus Young's Diecast, regular updates and good content. All my others are sporadic really, there's just something about the Diecast that I love.

 

[Kyle Winston]

I listen to Weekly Manga Recap live whenever I can and listen to recordings when I miss the live show.

 

[Gizmo1990]

Currently I listen to the Co Optional podcast and the Podquisition. That being said if the Co optional has a crap guest/guest I really don't like I sometimes skip it.

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

I listen to: Rachel Maddow, Fareed Zakaria GPS, BBC world news, BBC World War One at Home, Fat Man on Batman, SModCast, Hollywood Babble-On, StarTalk Radio, This American Life, The Jimquistion(PodQuisition? They call it that but iTunes doesn't?), Hardball with Chris Mathews(When he updates, the fucker!), The Independent Character, and Real Time with Bill Maher

GT Time on Gametrailers.com is one of my favorites. It's the replacement for Invisible Walls once a few of the old main guys left. It's obviously all about games, usually any news and discussion for the week. GT Time has now far surpassed Invisible Walls, particularly now that Gametrailers has made a real effort to make the people in their office more personable.

Other than that, I have two other podcasts I listen to weekly. The Dex podcast, which is a Pokemon podcast by the memebers of The Dex show on Youtube. The other is also a Pokemon podcast called the Prism Podcast made by the guys at Lumiose Station, also on Youtube.

It's all about the Super Best Friendcast, those guys are great and deserve to be more than just middle rung Youtube personalities. It's one of the few avenues in which Liam can snipe at the others with his sizzling wit.

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

The only ones I regularly listen to are The Diecast with Shamus Young and Co. and Watch Out For Fireballs (and the later I only started listening to about a month ago.) Everything thing else is really just a once off for me. Like I listened to a podcast of "The Gamer's Tavern" because it had Chris Avellone on it talking about Van Buren and the Tabletop RPG they ran at Black Isle while making Van Buren and that interested me. Or I listened to people playing a session of Call of Cthulhu starting the Scooby Gang which was actually rather funny.

 

[Kingjackl]

I listen to a couple of gaming ones. Jim Sterling's Podquisition, and the GAP. I've also found myself listening to Wil Anderson's 'Wilosophy' podcast, which can be really interesting, even if the same points and anecdotes sometimes get raised multiple times.

There are more I'd like to listen to, but there's only so much time and space on the iPhone. It doesn't help that the GAP goes for 3 hours an episode and still manages to update weekly.

As a wrestling fan, I listen to Stone Cold's podcast. It's good fun and the stories he has with other wrestlers are pretty fun.

 

[freaper]

I listen to Brian Posehn's Nerd Poker podcast where he plays D&D with other comedians/writers, and the Cracked podcast, which is, if not interesting, at least funny in its own right.

 

[Ishal]

I watch the Co-optional Podcast with TB, Cox, and Dodger. Likewise the Roundtable podcast with Northernlion, Baertaffy, Mathas, and RockLeeSmile.

I guess I listen to a few news ones, though not with any consistency. When Soulbrandt has a podcast I listen to that. EpicNameBro started having one so that is really cool. Welcome to Nightvale is a good one, though that's technically a radio show.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I've tried a couple but I just don't have the patience for the radio show format.

I like The Pizza Party Podcast... because it made out of a diverse cast talking about diverse topics that more or less have something to do with "cartoons" somehow...

Other than that, I got nothing... I can't seem to commit to a podcast, anyway... despite wanting to listen to the ones I know exist...

Basically, this... I might randomly listen to some other podcast probably run by a comedian of some sorts, but for the most part, The Pizza Party Podcast seems to be the only one I listen to on a consistent basis... Did you know they "celebrated" their one-year anniversary last week? Remember when they shit all over [REDACTED] from Adventure Time? Man, it feels like it was only... yesterday...
