... I have actually been using my MP3 player for Podcasts (Just small radio shows in a digital format, covering any number of topics) more than putting albums on it. Here are a few of my favourites...
PokerDiagram.com
I love the idea of this podcast, some blokes playing online poker and describing what they are doing as they go. May sound boring to a non player, but i find it really interesting to get inside someone elses head during a game and find out why they are doing the things they do. Also has the cheesy tagline "This is London calling... raising... and folding."
Talking 6Music
My favourite music radio station with the music edited out. Interviews, reviews and features about music, but without the music. Sort of works some of the time.
Bands under the radar
One woman in L.A., a pile of new and unsigned bands, and a few old favourites such as Elbow, Cat Power and Hard-Fi. Amazing how many great bands there are out there, and Podcasting suddenly gives them a brand new platform to get known. Already I am addicted to 2 bands I had never heard of before last week (The Daylights, and The Features).
Mark Kermodes Film Reviews
Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo take a look at the weeks new films each Friday. As someone who is getting more and more into films, but knows little about the genre this is really useful. No longer are the names of films on bus shelters just names, and already they have mentioned several films I would like to go and see.
Does anyone know of any other good ones? I am particulary looking for more about films, and also book reviews.
