Considering the growth of podcasts and how people are changing the way they consume media, I thought it might be interesting to see what podcasts people listen to and maybe stumble on good ones we might not have come in contact with.

I'll start with a few of my favorites.

The Joe Rogan Experience
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - I freaking love this podcast. The WWI and Mongol series are excellent.
Dan Carlin's Common Sense
The B.S. Report

I must say, between podcasts and audio books - it's very rare that I listen to any radio. Sometimes I listen to the morning rush on my way to work, but that's about it.

Rogan's is pretty good.

I've really gotten into a lot of Rich Roll's podcasts.

 

[strummingram]

Used to be Ricky Gervais with Steven Merchant and Karl Pilkington!

 

[fivecardstud14]

MMP

 

[Hawk and Awe]

Grantland NFL podcast
BS Report
The Lowe Post
How Stuff Works
Freakenomics
The Cracked Podcast (favorite right now with BS report on hiatus)

Looking forward to other suggestions. People are really confused when I tell them I've given up radio

Dan Carlin Hardcore History - Best Podcast I have ever listened to
S'more Outdoor

[uniFIGHTuniFIGHT]

Definitely Dan Carlin's 2 podcasts.

Legion of Skanks

Race Wars

Rogan (if it's a new or favorite guest)

Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast

Marc Maron's WTF

Occassionally, Nick DiPaolo's podcast. I guess mostly just podcasts hosted by stand-ups.

 

[hoks2415]

The Dollop with Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds.

 

[hawkifann]

In addition to some listed above, I'll add "Start Up" and "Reply All". The first season of "Invisibilia" is also pretty good, and if you like "Freakonomics", you might like the FiveThirtyEight blog, "What's the Point".

 

[yiana]

Big Picture Science
Finebaum
Hawkeye Nation
We're Alive was a good one

I liked "start up", but got really bored with season two about the dating site and didn't finish.

My main rotation: Risk with Kevin Allison, WTF with Maron, Jah Works, and The Moth.

 

[Honda Hawk]

Rogan
Stuff you should know
NPR: Money Planet
Talking Cars: Consumer Reports

 

[stout1]

I tend to use podcasts as a way to catch up on long form radio shows I can't catch during the week and really only listen to Men In Blazers from the "content created just for podcast" category. Looks like I need to delve a bit deeper.

I have listened to some of WTF with Maron and some others as one off episodes, but I just haven't been able to lock on to something long term.

Is this the one hosted by the NPR guys? I think I've heard some really good episodes of this on a road trip.

[who r u]

fantasy focus football with matthew berry

my phone is to old to do podcasts and i dont sit in front of a computer all day, otherwise i would listen to more.

 

[HotelAlphaWilcoKilo]

Ol' Billy Redface Burr (I love Burr but generally can't stand the questions submitted because they sound like the kind of bullshit some of the dim bulbs around HROT would come up with)
WTF (off and on)
Improv 4 Humans (not every episode, but certainly every time I see Andy Daly or Paul F. Tompkins)
Radiolab (really enjoyed this one until an episode involving the Hmong and the yellow rain. Krulwich was a complete dick to the Hmong guy and his translator niece[?]. Plus, they got too cutsie with their sound design)
Sklarbro Country (haven't listened to this one in over a year. These knuckleheads can't let their guests finish a sentence to save their lives and it finally made me delete it. Too bad, because I loved whenever James Adomian showed up.)

Yes. Radiolab and This American Life are both very excellent and broadcast on NPR.
