I can't be the only one around here who does, so this thread is to discuss your favorite podcasts. For myself, I highly enjoy Anime World Order, Fast Karate For The Gentleman, The Greatest Movie Ever!, and G4's Feedback and X Play Video Podcasts. What about the rest of you?

I started Anime World Order recently and listening to everyone form the beginning, I'm in the summer of 206 right now, Daryl Surat is a bit of a Nerdy elitist schmuck with Gerald close behind, I'm catching up with Radio Lab, and I'm going to get into Writing Excuses when I have the time, and perhaps Podcasts can be moved to the Radio subforum?

[up]Hmm, good idea, hadn't though of that.

EDIT:...Except, having taken a peek at the Radio board, no one goes there. So no harm in leaving it here, I think.

Well, I don't do it regularly, but I once listened to an episode of Podcast 17 that had Ross Scott on.

Speaking of Freemans Mind, I listen to Mind The Gap whenever a new one comes out. Kinda funny to listen to.

I listen to Spill.com podcasts while I'm doing work or just killing time.

I actually like Anime World Order. I tend to find a lot of my favorite anime from there. Also, I listen to Spill and the Greatest Movie Ever podcasts. Good stuff. Paul Chapman of the greatest movie ever sounds like he'd be a troper.

Great Scott! Mousa, go and archive binge on the Greatest Movie Ever Podcast, to offset the effects of Geek Nights Binging! That said, I've been to an anime panel by the geek nights guys and it was really good.

Ys, Scott is great, so is Rym. Awesome guys. As you can see, just by going through their first 64 episodes I've already been assimilated.

Greatest movie ever.. wait, isn't that that one podcast ad about "Weekend At Bernie's 2"?

There's a great history podcast called "Hardcore History" which does fantastic shows on various historical subjects. They don't come out frequently (one every two months roughly), but the research and delivery is entirely worth it. His multi-part pieces on the Eastern Front in WWII, the Punic Wars, and the Fall of the Roman Republic are eye opening, and worth a listen.

I listen to Anime World Order as well, because it's actually really entertaining and informative: the podcast pretty much runs the gamut from the history of Japanese animation. However, I have to confess that I'm finding Daryl increasingly annoying, especially when he runs off on some "funny" tangent that invariably makes some kind of outside reference. Not to mention what he said in his Violence Jack review...

Other podcasts I listen to are The Greatest Movie EVER! (my favourite movie podcast, too), Geek Nights, Podtoid and The Electric Hydra, War Rocket Ajax, Awesomed By Comics and Anime3000's The Speakeasy Podcast.

And now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to try and make a trope page on Anime World Order...

I haven’t listened to any for a while. I used to listen to Crap From the Past but just fell away from it after a while. Does that even count?

True story: I sometimes follow up episodes of This American Life with something from Anime World Order. Gotta keep yourself balanced.

I also recommend Comedy Bang Bang and pretty much anything from Earwolf. The Apple Sisters have recently become a new favorite (although I'm sure many will find them shrill and irritating).

Stuff that updates weekly: Are We Alone/Big Picture Science*

(by the SETI people, but a general science podcast), Planetary Radio (by the Planetary Society, about astronomy/sciences related with space missions), Science...sort of (about things that are science, things that are sort of science, and things that wish they were science), and the Gameinformer Podcast.

I also listen to the Tolkein Professor but that doesn't update regularly.

Daryl is a pretentious jerk and I find their views on current fans and anime cons to be elitist and dickish. AWO is a bit of a berserk button.

I only ever listen to one podcast these days and that would be Talk Radar. Still, all these ones you're all suggesting sounds good.

Meh, I figure Daryl is ok. Say what you will, the guy does have some interesting points. That said, I think the elitism is something he ramped up just for the sake of comedy. Whether or not it works is obviously subjective.

Haha! In truth, the elitism and dickishness are actually part of why I love listening to AWO. Go figure. :)
