October 17, 2005 -

I've recently stopped listening to mp3 blogs as often at work, and now I'm listening to podcasts. I'm going to list my favorite podcasts, and hope that others will drop some comments with other podcasts I might enjoy.

My #1 favorite podcast right now is Geeks On. It's a group of four guys that discuss all things geeky: Movies, Sci-fi, Video Games, Comics, TV, Internet, Board Games, RPGs. It's very entertaining.

I've also heard good things about Geek News Central, and although I haven't given it much of a listen yet, I think I might enjoy it.

Free Talk Live is a popular podcast which is apparently broadcast over actual radio waves. They cover popular news and politics. It's daily, so I can't really keep up, but it's been interesting.

I also keep up with my TV show podcasts. The Transmission is a podcast about ABC's Lost. It brings up some interesting theories, and in general lets me re-experience the show the day after while I'm staring at code. Ron Moore's Battlestar Galactica podcast works pretty much like DVD commentary tracks - he watches the show and talks about what's going on as it happens. You learn some interesting behind-the-scenes info, and gain some insight into the plot.

Lastly, The Dragons' Landing Podcast is a podcast about Roleplaying Games which acts as a surrogate fix for me until I can actually find a group here in Colorado to game with.

Anyone else have any good podcasts?

Here's some to try. I'm subscribed to these but don't listen to every one. Only listen to Odeo if you use odeo.com to keep track of your podcasts. The Al Franken seems to be on hiatus.
