I am looking for suggestions. I love learning new things and about old things, so listening to podcasts in the car is a real treat. Are there any podcasts you find especially noteworthy. Please share!

One that we found especially enjoyable is the History of Rome. It's ended, which is unfortunate, but that's the nature of history. The same guy is currently doing a podcast on Revolutions.

About the only podcast I listen to these days is the Roosterteeth Podcast.

I used to listen to The Drunk Tank (Roosterteeth Podcast) a lot but haven't very much in about a 2 years. Occasionally I drop in for a show and I enjoy it.

The main group of podcasts I listen to are from Extralife/FrogPantsStudios. The shows I mainly listen to from there are:

The Morning Stream ( basically a geek version of morning talk radio)

The Instance (WoW podcast)

Film Sack ( they pick a movie from Netflix usually a b movie or just one that sounds fun and then sack [comically critique] it)

And Comic Dorks (comic related)

I recommend Film Sack and TMS because they're easier to get into. And I typically find those shows to be the most fun. I usually listen to TMS live when I have my coffee too!

EDIT: I'll post links later I'm on my IPad right now.

Okay here is a full list of FrogPants Studios' podcasts

And The Morning Stream is right on top.

Rationally Speaking, a philosophy-oriented podcast hosted by writer Julia Galef (and previously co-hosted by philosopher Massimo Pigliucci) is a good one. Beyond that, I enjoy a lot of movie-oriented podcasts, like Now Playing and The Canon on birthmoviesdeath.com.

• GameInformer Show
• Mega64
• (TotalBiscuit)Co-Optional Podcast
• Comedy Bang Bang
• Everything Is Stories

I listen to them near ad-nauseum during the less dialogue-heavy games, it's good stuff. Everything Is Stories covers Once-In-a-Lifetime Type of stories that have to be heard to be believed. Comedy Bang Bang is sort of a random humor show that does a few games and scripted stuff with impersonations. They've had guests like Jon Hamm, Bob Odenkirk, Weird Al, and a handful of others. Honestly, I laughed more during stuff from Mega 64, they seem a bit more improvisational and real.

I sometimes put on the One Piece Podcast.

 

And that's about it.

Rebel Force Radio - if you're into Starwars, Episodes guest staring Sam Witwer are especially good.

Fatman on Batman - If you don't hate Kevin Smith or Batman

Since I made a rather comprehensive couple of posts on the matter earlier this year, I'll quote myself from http://forum.bioware...sts-the-thread/ :

 

I noticed that we don't seem to have a thread on the subject, so I might as well make it myself.

 

What kind of podcasts do you listen to, BSN? Recommendations, musings and banter about podcasts you like or just the medium in general.

 

What really hooked me on podcasts was the entire http://earwolf.com/ stable of shows, that have over the past few years brought me quite literally hundreds of hours of laughter.

 

Notable mentions:

 

 

http://www.earwolf.c...medy-bang-bang/

 

The one that started it for me and basically their flagship show. A delightful mix of "real" guests and character guests in a semi-improvised setting, with the occasional freestyle rap battle, time traveling stabby orphan and Satan's supreme commander's supreme commander trying to bring about the end of all things.

 

 

http://www.earwolf.c...-pilot-project/

 

Andy Daly is a comedian who is one of the most beloved character guests on the aforementioned CBB, and last year he had a run of his own shows with the concept of a bunch of his characters that originally appeared on CBB sending in pilot episodes of their own, fictional podcasts. Includes shows from such luminaries as vampire and mummy hunter Dalton Wilcox, cowboy and poet laureate of the west and a travel show hosted by pretzel maker August Lindt, surrealist sculptor H.R. Giger, filmmaker Werner Herzog and former Pope Benedict XVI in a cavalcade of the most genuine accents you'll ever hear.

Scott Aukerman (host of Comedy Bang Bang) and actor Adam Scott of Parks & Recreation fame bond over their love of U2 in a show that still features probably less than 10% actual talk of U2. If you want to find out more about this obscure band called U2, this show has it all. Everything from band member names, what instruments they play, Huey Lewis and the News, Entourage and the nu-metal band Staind. You will know everything there is to know about U2.

 

I'll end on a sad note because it was sort of what inspired me to start this thread.

 

I found out earlier today that Harris Wittels recently passed away at the age of 30. He wasn't exactly a household name, his main credits being as a producer and writer on Parks & Recreation, recurring guest on Comedy Bang Bang and hosting a show called Analyze Phish where he tried to convert his co-host Scott Aukerman into liking horrible jam band Phish with limited success. This still got me far harder right in the feelings than any celebrity death in forever. He had an incredible ability to have me absolutely pissing myself with laughter with jokes that on paper were so bad that I should've been been embarrassed or downright angry to even be subjected to them. He also seemed to be a super nice and genuine person in general, who was also super transparent and brutally honest about his problems with addiction. I'll miss him like hell.

 

Here's him on Comedy Bang Bang, doing one of his signature segments of absolutely horrible jokes that he didn't deem good enough to do on stand-up or even over Twitter:

 

 

 

Another recommendation:

 

The Worst Idea of All Time sees two New Zealand comedians boldly do what nobody has done before for good reason: watch Adam Sandler's modern day classic, cinematic masterpiece Grown Ups 2 once a week for 52 weeks straight and then review it. Hear two men descend into madness and develop a possibly unhealthy fascination with Patrick Schwarzenegger as they struggle to find at least something to amuse themselves week after week after week. https://instagram.co...cXN/?modal=true

 

They recently completed their goal of actually doing this for 52 weeks in a row, only to announce that they intend to do the same all over again. Only this time, it will be watching Sex and the City 2 over and over again. Pray for them.

 

 

 

 

Shameless bump to A) give a plug to the lads of Cinema Swirl:

 

https://soundcloud.com/cinemaswirl

 

Basic premise is two friends watching and then reviewing classic Hollywood blockbusters, but one of them has barely seen any movies in his entire life. Imagine an adult man who spent his entire life knowing nothing about Star Wars outside of occasional pop culture references watching A New Hope for the first time. One of them also really likes Pepsi Max.

 

I really like the wrestling podcasts the most. These two in particular. Jericho and Austin interview a lot of people. Their interviews with the wrestlers themselves are the best. They get the wrestlers out of their characters and being themselves. As Austin said in his interview with HHH, "Kayfabe is dead."

and

you should check out OSW Review and the AEpodcast:

 

http://oswreview.com/episodes/

https://soundcloud.c...ude-era-podcast

 

Both have the same basic premise of fans reviewing old shows and hilarity ensues, and both are very funny. The main difference (other than covering different shows) is that OSW is a video podcast with a ton of visual jokes and gags. Here's one of the few OSW episodes that are currently up on YouTube, a review of the cinematic masterpiece that was Ready to Rumble:

 

 

(they keep getting nuked from YT every now and then, but every episode is still available on their own site)

 

To add to those, I've over the last few months listened to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History: http://www.dancarlin...history-series/ which is usually an absolutely fascinating listen if you're even a little bit of a history buff and don't find the extremely long episodes too daunting.

Anyone who is planning on listening to Comedy Bang Bang should definitely listen to the eps Farts and Pro 1, 2, 3 and 4. RIP Harris

Pleasantly surprised that others here listen to/watch the Roosterteeth Podcast.

Is it that surprising though? I mean they've been a pretty prominent presence on the web for a decade.

For Red vs Blue, sure. But even then I don't see many folks here bringing up RvB. And as for RWBY, its got its dedicated people here along with a ton of lurkers.

Well yeah, but that's were a lot of the fan base stemmed from (up until recently with RWBY but AH grew fast too). And I mean the Drunk Tank (RT Podcast. I'll still call it the Drunk Tank till I die!) has been around for a long time too. 08 or 09. All I'm saying is RT knows no bounds. And rightly so!

Drunk Tank was old school, though they still drink on the RT Podcast. lol
