Hope I've got the right forum...

Does anybody have any recommendations for Podcasts? I have just discovered them. I particulary like the paranormal ones but have only found one good one so far. All recommendations welcome

I don't know much about paranormal, although these are the ones which I subscribe to in iTunes.

The Economist (quite interesting for learning about the world economy)
Wake Up To Money (essential for keeping up with the finance news each day, beats getting a broadsheet)
Friday Night Comedy
8 out of 10 Cats (Jimmy Carr + Sean Lock = comedy gold. Shame about the audio quality)
TWiT (usually have great guests with a good insight in to tech, not just from a geeks perspective but a business and political side as well)
MacBeak Weekly (because I am a Apple geek at heart and this is probably the best)
Diggnation (there is something strangely entertaining about 2 guys sitting on a couch with their laptops, drinking beer and discussing the hottest news from Digg.com)

So, a couple finance, a couple comedy and a three technology podcasts. I used to subscribe to more, but never had the time to listen to them all so kept my favourites.

I personally love

BBC Radio 1 Scott Mills Daily

On average they are about 40mins and can be as short as 10mins (very depressing when they are the wee ones, barely leads ya to LIDL!), But the podcasts are HILARIOUS and awesome. Thats my recommendation.

Thank you for those recommendations everyone

Where can I get podcasts other than iTunes?

I like The Guardian's podcasts. Readers of this forum are likely to like their Media and Technology podcasts

You can either search for them in the podcast section of then iTunes Store - or use the links
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/seri...lk/podcast.xml
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...ly/podcast.xml

In iTunes - click on 'Advanced', then 'Subscribe to podcast...'
There's other podcast managing software, but if it's for your ipod is easiest if you use iTunes to manage your podcasts. It will manage any podcast with an xml feed, they don't have to be listed in the iTunes Store

Russell Brand used to be the top podcast on iTunes.
I was a must have, until he resigned :/

Scott Mills podcast is fantastic
Friday Night Comedy is well worth listening to
My secret listen is the Archers it's so addictive

The Ricky Gervais old stuff is worth getting but the new stuff is just a repeat of 'Karls has got a head like a fkin orange' which becomes boring
