I've just gone through a major podcast shakeup on my device. I get to the point where there are podcasts that I've listened to for a while, but I realize that I keep putting them off and that I kind of dread getting to them, so I cleared out a bunch of those, plus a bunch of dead podcasts that haven't done anything in six months or more. To replace them, I've got a brand new lineup as of the last three days:
Doug Loves Movies - used to listen to and got tired of. Put it back on Kyle's suggestion. Two eps in, and I'm really enjoying it again.
Hello from the Magic Tavern - Same as above, except I haven't listened yet.
Star Talk - used to listen to and quit. I have a problem with NDT, because his voice and mannerisms remind me strongly of a guy I used to know who was a major asshole. I like NDT and his show is entertaining, but the voice thing throws me. I'm going to try again. Because I love astronomy and science.
Science Talk (from SciAm) - one of the most popular science podcasts out there. I'll give it a shot.
Betty in the Sky with a Suitcase - just added now. I'm excited to try it. Very different from anything I've done before.
Dead Pilots Society - several people from Thrilling Adventure Hour plus guests doing table reads of failed television pilots. I have high hopes.
Decrypted - short and popular, talking about tech issues as related to current events. I'll try it out.
Astronomy Cast - Long running Canadian 'cast about star stuff and space exploration. I've listened to one, and I enjoyed it a lot. They have good chemistry.
After two months, if I still have two or three of these that I continue with, I'll count this as a win. What I need next are some more gaming podcasts. Especially ones that talk about a variety of games, but not anything with actual play recordings. I just realized that over the years, I've slowly grown tired of all the gaming casts I used to listen to.Statistics: Posted by Mike — Tue Nov 01, 2016 3:56 pm
