Totally Listenable

Verdict is still pending, but I'm part-way through episode 1 (that's all that's been released thusfar) but I'm kind of interested:

Joshua Malina and some guy named Hrishikesh Hirway are going through each episode of the West Wing.

He hosts the Song Exploder podcast, which is cool if you like hearing artists talk about their methods and inspiration.

I'd highly advise anyone with an interest in counterculture and Charles Manson to listen to the You Must Remember This series on him and his followers. I just finished and it's been lodged in my brain since I started listening - just thinking about the collateral from his arrival in LA makes my head spin. It's a story that seems too fucked up to be real.

I may dive into some back episodes to see if they're as captivating as this series - though I doubt they will be.

Comedy Bang Bang is the best comedy podcast going. It's weird but it's essentially some of our best comics making up characters and stuff for an hour to 90 minutes a couple times a week.

Steve Dangle is a gross, man-boy who should be locked up.

On the topic of You Must Remember This, she came out with a series on the Hollywood Blacklist of the 50s. I'm 4 episodes in and it's pretty interesting.

Malcom Gladwell has a podcast called Revisionist History that I'd recommend. The tagline is "Sometimes the past deserves a second chance". He relooks at things in history that he claims have been unjustly overlooked. Of SPORTZ note, he talked about Free Throw shooting, Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game, and Rick Barry in one recent episode.

The Road To Now is a series of conversations or interviews examining the historical roots that have led to today's society. It features the bassist from the Avett Brothers and some southern professor as hosts. It's a good, cerebral look in to how we have had our world shaped.

This was shared on a recent This American Life podcast.  It's pretty typical Gladwell but man, Rick Berry is the kind of asshole that I hope to one day be.

What do Android users prefer for listening to podcasts? Obviously for Apple, there is iTunes, but it seems to be scattered for Android

I use Podcast Addict.

Google Play added podcasts, which simplified my life nicely

And while we're kind of on the topic, for iOS users, Overcast is great if you're still searching for a podcast app.

RSS Radio too.

For those who may be left-leaning in their politics: Chapo Trap House.

Seconded, just discovered this one as well. Any podcast that devotes a significant chunk of time to Baseball Crank discussion is good in my book.

Dear L-rd, this thread has devolved into podcasts? ("This Week in Virology" is simply too unfocused to really hold my attention, which is a bummer.)

But anyway, the reason I chose to dig this one up is that I was just sharply reminded that I pretty much owe Pat Hues and, yes, the Coom Dawg for keeping me relatively sane during the months of this season.*

I'm grateful.

* WHPK has also been shut down for some time as the result of some insane bedbug negotiations. Oh, and the cheap-ass fuckwits at WBEZ have learned nothing; the (charming) Vinyl Cafe and (usually inoffensive) Ideas from the CBC have been ditched in favor of rerunning a river of yet more pseudohipster shit to try to raise Malatia from the dead.

[Canadouche]

If you can find them anywhere, and like CBC stuff, I'd heartily recommend the Dead Dog Cafe. They are really clever and enjoyable shows.

Just started listening to Crimetown, which is pretty self-explanatory - each season will explore some of the more colorful criminals related to a specific city.  1st season is Providence and I'm liking it so far.

ABC TV in Chicago decided that this was unlistenable, so they suspended (fired?) the sportscaster, Giangreco, who said it:

"Prominent Chicago sportscaster suspended for calling America a 'country full of simpletons' and Trump a 'cartoon lunatic' "

Strange.  I could listen to that all day.

He's got more time to make out with Janet Davies.
