Some Podcasts I Have Sampled - One

Radio Times Podcast Guide can be found here - which has some good suggestions that I am currently trying out.

On my podcast quest I have found a few more good listens -

Guardian Media - On the UK media, often the BBC's doings, on TV, on "new media" (they don't like to use that term) about the newspapers hosted by Matt Wells and Emily Bell - (Emily Bell is the head of the Guardian's Online presence - Guardian Unlimited.)

Radio One's Best of Unsigned features some good bands - well the one I've listened to so far has anyway, I feel that I should be listening to more Radio One, for all the latest - Huw Williams and Rob da Bank and all, but I'm all netlabelled up at the moment - and podcasted.

The Naked Scientists is a long podcast - around about an hour - enjoyable, mildly amusing science talk, you know the kind of thing. Off BBC Local radio I think. I likey.

I'm trying to get away from podcasts that are driven by current media monoliths, but at the moment that seems to be my bag - Guardian, BBC, The Times (I'm checking them out at the moment), O'Reilly etc. And I'm keeping a wider eye open for UK and all non-US centered podcasts and I have a ton of US leaning podcasts and I want to get a range of perspectives on life the universe and everything. Though I haven't been actively searching for certain stuff (except podcasts in French in a perhaps futile - though I don't think so - attempt to improve my French by subliminal absorption) - just podcasts in general.

Boing Boing Boing feed is here. It's the Boing Boing podcast, featuring stories from the website and featuring web people, such as 43Folders's Merlin Mann and Matt Haughey of Metafilter.

More on Podcasts when I've listened to some more - I've got abut 90 or podcasts in iTunes right now, so I'm using PlayPod (which is now free) to put other feeds into as iTunes is getting overwhelmed - as am I.
