    WWW Podcasts?

    Does anyone listen to these? I've become addicted. Pretty much the internet version of radio, with people chatting about a myriad of subjects.

    Usually they're free and you can download the file to your phone or pc.

    I listen to a couple of recap podcasts for TV shows like Game of Thrones, as well as Last Podcast on the Left (horror, crime, aliens), and Sword and Scale (true crime).


    If you have some free time, google podcast along with the subject matter you're interested in. You'll probably find a handful of podcasts relating to your search.

    Yep huge fan!

    Hal you have to check out this app Overcast. It automatically cuts out brief pauses and allows for very minor speed-up of the sound so you can crush podcasts way faster It's free, give it a shot.


    Right now I'm listening to a lot of lighter comedy podcasts:
    - Joe Rogan Experience
    - Bill Burr
    - WTF with Marc Maron
    - Adam & Drew (formerly loveline)

    Also less light stuff:
    - The Daily (news)
    - Revisionist History (history/politics)
    - S-Town

    Hey GF,
    I have a smartphone and removed all data functions on it. It's a phone that does talk and text only.
    My joke is - I have an EARphone, not an Iphone ffs ( old skule never dies )

    Thanks for the app suggestion, but I just download the file and listen on my PC...or transfer the MP3 to my phone

    I've had waaaay too much free time and podcasts are my new crack. Sword and Scale has something like 94 podcasts and I'm on podcast 87 after a week or so....


    thanks for the suggestions


    I guess Serial was one of the most famous podcasts a couple of years back. I liked it until I heard that the creator may have taken some liberties with the facts.

    Downloading it now! I love podcasts with comedians, not just because they're funny but because I'm genuinely fascinated by their craft and lifestyle.


    EDIT: Ohhhh Your Moms House is with Tom Segura and his wife Christina! I've seen some highlights pop up on youtube, they're hilarious. Definitely subscribing.

    I didn't realize there were so many apps for listening to podcasts. Is a specific app better than a general one? I've been using the iHeartRadio app to listen to them, but after looking in the Play Store, there's about a zillion podcast listening apps. I'm overwhelmed at what to do, stay with IHR or get a different one to try.

    I'm a premium spotify user. I have zero commercials and can listen to damn near anything I want, when I want.

    For people that listen to multiple podcasts, how do you find the time? Especially if they are daily ones? I'm subscribed to 5 right now and I barely find time to cut them in. Of course the only REAL time I have to listen to them is driving to and from work or when I'm at work first thing in the morning before other people start to roll in.

    Luckily only one that I subscribe to is daily, the rest are kinda spotty with one being a weekly. But I still have trouble staying caught up sometimes, especially when some of them run an hour plus.

    Call Her Daddy actually makes me blush Those girls are nuts.

    You should give spittin chiclets a try, also from Barstool. Couple of retired NHL players (Ryan Whitney and Paul Bisonette) and a Boston sports guy who goes by Rear Admiral. It's hilarious, and they get great interviews. It can sometimes be a bit 'bro-y' if you know what I mean, but it's also funny as hell.

    They're hilarious, but definitely not something you can listen to without either headphones or with the windows rolled up when driving in close traffic. I'll check out that other Barstool podcast too

    My question is, how do people listen to the podcasts that are 2 and 3 hours long? I would like to check out the Joe Rogen podcast because I've heard clips from it, but damn, every single one of his episodes is well over 2 hours long and he puts a new one out every day.
