How the devil do we not have a thread about podcasts?
Brilliant medium! More timeless and accessible than radio, freer than television, and usually available internationally.
BUT. Not often very well promoted. Buried away in corners of the internet - which makes it a bugger to find new ones. Which'll make this a hell of a nifty resource. Hopefully.
My favourite one for the last year or so has been a wee thingybob called
The Peacock and Gamble Podcast. It's by two fairly obscure British comedians - Ray Peacock and Ed Gamble - and they're f'ing brilliant. It's fairly niche humour - often a little infantile, and they play a lot with taboos so if you're easily offended it's probably not for you. It's not a frequent occurrance, but when they toy with offensive humour they don't tend to so much "cross the line" as trample it relentlessly until it degenerates into a shapeless mushy paste. That said, if you "get" their style then it's uproariously funny. Would recommend. Many times over. Sixty-six episodes, so far. All half an hour long.
Episode 49's a good one to start with, but to be honest, the best way to gauge if you'll like it is to watch
this. Ray Peacock doing a comedy set - that's the exact style of the show, and it's only thirteen minutes long. Plus, really really funny.
I do need more things to listen to, though so throw them at me and I will do a review of each one (disclaimer: might not).
OR. Does anyone here do a podcast themselves? I've got one I contribute to a bit, but I'm currently more interested in doing my own. Started recording one, but I've not finished, yet, so I might end up plugging the hell out of that at some point. Sorry in advance.
P.S. I am fed up of my most viewed thread being that shit one with the drummer, so if you don't click this thread I'm going to gouge your eyes out. Not that this threat applies to anyone reading this. Hello!
