hwllo Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Recently I've gotten a bit tired of listening to music at work, so I've started listening to a few podcasts, like NPR politics, Fresh Air and Ted Talks. Don't really know many and since we all obviously have great taste in music here I figured I'd start this up to see what kind of podcasts you guys are listening to and maybe pick up a few to add to my playlist!

GtrPlyr Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I don't listen to a lot of podcasts, but I do enjoy these ones: WTF with Marc Maron - He has a lot of great guests and some really insightful conversations. Song Exploder - Artists breakdown the details of a specific song they've written.Sodajerker - Another podcast that deals with songwriters discussing their work.

lost highway Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Wtf twice a week every week. Just when I hear a couple episodes that felt mediocre and I think I'll just cherry pick ones with guests I like, I hear an amazing interview with someone I've never heard of. He gets amazing people, in the last two weeks he's had David Crosby and Ron Howard. Today on my morning commute I can hear a discussion with Roger Waters. Also, I really love Radiolab. Their newer episodes have been less consistent to me but there's still years of reruns that are fascinating to relisten to after a year or two. And let's not forget Fresh Air with Terry Gross. It's so omnipresent it's easy to take for granted, but it's so concise and packed with interesting people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The Talkhouse (musicians interviewing musicians) has some great promise, but some of the episodes have been a bit stiff. The Genesis P-Orridge/Laura Jane Grace one was excellent, however, and i did dig the Courtney Barnett/Kim Deal one as well. WTF can be excellent, but sometimes Maron ruins them as well.

Vacant Horizon Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Rock Solid-music topics (songs from '74 etc.) with hilarious discussions from the UBC type LA comedians. Decibel Geek-discussions/interviews about all types of metal. I'm not a huge fan, but I love how they break down songs and interview artists about their writing process. Most recent episode had Skid Row! Counterspin-critical look at recent media stories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Wtf twice a week every week. Just when I hear a couple episodes that felt mediocre and I think I'll just cherry pick ones with guests I like, I hear an amazing interview with someone I've never heard of. He gets amazing people, in the last two weeks he's had David Crosby and Ron Howard. Today on my morning commute I can hear a discussion with Roger Waters.This is exactly my experience with WTF. No exaggeration to say that it really helped me get through this year that my mom passed. Most of the others I enjoy have already been mentioned. Freakonomics (my 11 year old daughter enjoys most episodes tooThe SporkfulRadiolabFooty for Two (soccer podcast featuring Freakonomics' Stephen Dubner and his teenage son)Dear Hank & John (young adult author John Green and his brother. A bit geeky sometimes.Reasonable Doubt - Adam Corolla and Mark Garagos - Corolla's a bit of a douche and a master of the strawman argument, but I keep on listeningThe Fall or Rome - A recent Ph. D. graduate on this topicLocked on Vikings - Because sportsJames Altucher Show - Quirky entrepreneur. I only listen if there's a guest that's interesting in the first few minutes.

worldrecordplayer Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Song Exploder did an episode with Tweedy breaking down Magnetized. Worth listening just for that. Dad Rock- I pick and choose on which episodes I listen to, but there have been many excellent ones. Including an episode on Wilco.
