I’m a bit of a tech wonk, but only recently got a Google Home unit and added ‘Stitcher‘ to my apps. Between that, SoundCloud , MixCloud , Internet Radio and YouTube there is plenty on offer.
Here’s a list of podcasts I’m listening to, mainly for my own reference since not all have perfect RSS feeds. I’ll be revising this list on occasion.
==============================================
Favorites So Far:
Late Night Last Week: amalgamation of the best of USA late night humor shows. Generally topical political humor of the day. *iTunes*RSS*
Nerdist – good geeky fun. Some rather famous names in the archives, from Patrick Stewart to Tom Holland. That said, I find host Chris Hardwick insufferable sometimes. *Itunes * YouTube * http://nerdist.com/podcasts/nerdist-podcast-channel/
Spektrmodule: spacy, spooky ambient music to chill out to. http://spkmdl.libsyn.com/
Welcome to Nightvale: ominous radio announcements from a small desert town in the USA. Quietly amusing and just a bit scary, if that’s for you. http://nightvale.libsyn.com/ or https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/welcome-to-night-vale/id536258179?mt=2
