My Favorite Podcasts
Last updated 12 June 2010
This isn't a complete list of podcasts I listen to, but it's a list of the ones that are either among my absolute favorites or that I think might be less well-known and deserve some promotion.
-Casey Kolderup
- Another Castle
- An interview show with game developers in the New York City area.
- The Bugle
- John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman make jokes about the news.
- Bytejacker
- A video podcast about downloadable video games.
- Hype Machine Radio Show
- A monthly radio show featuring the most-played music among the indie music blogging scene.
- The Idle Thumbs Podcast
- A comedy podcast about video games from a slightly more critical viewpoint than most "enthusiast gaming press" podcasts/blogs. It used to update weekly but after a roster change they've changed their schedule, updating less frequently when events warrant. It's still one of the highest-quality podcasts in my rotation.
- ill doctrine
- Jay Smooth's video podcast about hip-hop, politics, and more.

- the video podcast version of the Current TV show, featuring great comedians like Sergio Cilli, Bryan Safi, and Jonah Ray.

- Jordan, Jesse GO!
- a comedy/improv podcast about two friends and new sincerity
- A Life Well Wasted
- a long-form single-topic video game podcast in the vein of This American Life.
- The Moth Podcast
- People tell true stories from their life without notes. Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, often both.

- Interviews with fantastic comedians, musicians, actors, writers, directors, etc. Also features entire podcasts of comedy and music of up-and-coming artists.
- Stop Podcasting Yourself
- A weekly podcast starring two comedians from Vancouver and a weekly guest. This podcast makes me laugh embarrassingly loudly in public.

- This American Life
- Stories, fiction and non-fiction about a weekly topic.
