Tag Archives: Podcasting

I wrote about Podcasts yesterday and asked for your recommendations for shows worth downloading. One that popped up was Radiolab and listening to the ‘Desperately Seeking Symmetry’ episode was enough to make me know I will be listening to them all. Educational, entertaining, wonderfully produced and touching. It’s not often you get all of those in one Podcast. You do not want to miss Radiolab.

It has taken me many years to finally discover the benefits of Podcasting. Instacast has been the catalyst for this and I now find myself listening to downloaded Podcasts going to and from work each day. In comparison to music, the trips seem to pass quicker than previously and a whole new world of the ‘chat show’ has been opened up to me.

 
Technology Podcasts are plentiful and tend to follow similar formats, but some are genuinely interesting and add personality to what would otherwise be quite a dour subject. I have purposely looked at Podcasts that look likely to continue for some time to come and thus The Talk Show, Phones Show Chat and engadget were my first downloads.
 
What I am looking for, however, are your recommendations for Podcasts worth subscribing to. They don’t have to be tech related, but just interesting and worthy of my ears for the journey to work. Also, are you a Podcast user or has the genre passed you by like it did for me for so long?
