What podcasts do you listen to?

[Deleted User] · 13/10/10 - 22:53

I've been meaning to start this thread for ages, so I thought I might as well now!

There are millions of podcasts available about different subjects and interests from all around the world and an easy way to find them via ITunes, so I was wondering what everyone was listening to especially their favourite and their hidden gem; the more random the better!

The podcasts I currently download are mainly american film review/music review/cultural shows as we don't get anything very similar on UK radio:

Filmspotting-the best podcast about films. They review most current films as well as old classics and any films which are good. (hidden gem)
Jay and Silent Bob get old- I'm a huge Jay and Silent Bob and Kevin Smith fan, so I am loving this podcast although I couldn't ever get into Smodcast.
Filmweek- Weekly American film review that reviews all the films released that week in America; really great if you want a head-up for any films to look out for when they come to the UK, later.
Cinebanter- a boy and a girl reviewing one film in detail and do great lists.
This American Life- Makes you think about and appreciate thingd that you would never have thought about. (favourite)
NPR- All songs Considered and Sound Opinions (good shows about music).

Sorry for the long post!
