More Podcasts...

I'm really surprised about some of the response that I got on my last post about podcasts (and who the responses came from!) Below you'll find a list of more of the great podcasts I listen to (and you should too.) These aren't really in any order, cause they're all great.

1) The Bleeding Purple Podcast - I meant to put this one in the last post, but got confused and ended up writing about another podcast, yet linking to the BPP (Sorry Leif!) The recent interview with Brian Mclaren was awesome, though I couldn't really get into the Showercast (I'm sure Leif appreciated that fact.) Overall it's a podcast about trying to understand faith outside of the traditional box. Plus, the guy lives near Seattle (around four months till I move there!)
2) Diggnation - Who doesn't listen to Diggnation. What? You don't? Well where have you been for the last 34 weeks? Alex and Kevin discuss the latest stories from Digg.com. It's mostly about tech stuff, but often has just really cool stories and lots of goofing off. The show isn't too long, usually around 45 min. Check out Digg.com and check out Diggnation.
3) Dirty Little Secrets with Craig Gross and Mike Foster - The official podcast of xxxchurch.com. Mike and Craig are two pastors battling porn with love. I really dig their message and the topics they discuss (not all are about porn). Apparently they record this show to be a live stream, then cut out the adverts and release it as a podcast, so it's around 45 minutes long.
4) Ebert and Roeper - Ok, so this is just an audio recording of their syndicated tv show, but I'm a movie fan and enjoy hearing about movies that will never get played in my local theater (cause they just suck.) The show is about 20 minutes long.
5) Hi My Name Is Mark - Podcast from the former Blink 182 band member. It's a music show where he plays a lot of the music he produces in addition to some really good punk/alternative/screamo/etc stuff. He recently went on like a 3 month hiatus, but he seems to be back. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to his new show, but it's probably pretty good.
6) Joe Cartoon - It's a video podcast, one of the few that I subscribe to. Joe has always produced great cartoons that you can't play in front of your momma. Just know that it's probably not "work-safe or kid-safe," if you get my drift. A Poodle Story is still my favorite.
7) KW Leslie's AudioRants - Ok, so I haven't listened to this show since last October. Why you ask? Well, it was in October that KW decided to stop doing the podcast. I encourage you to go check out the audio archived if they're still up, he had some great stuff to say about life and faith. KW, I still don't forgive you for ending the podcast =-)
8) Masters of Horror - So I love horror movies. Rarely do they scare me or disturb me, but I definitely enjoy them. That's why I was so excited that Showtime was doing a series called Masters of Horror, getting the best horror directors to do a one-hour no-holds-barred (well, Miike showed us that some holds are barred) horror show. So far, the ones I've seen have been alright (Incident on and off a mountain road was probably the best, but I haven't seen Sick Girl or Cigarette Burns yet,) but the podcast is great in that it profiles music from the soundtrack and interviews with the directors. They haven't put out a new one in a while though, I fear like many people they jumped at podcasting cause it was fresh and new and now they've gotten tired of doing it. Oh well, the stuff they've got up is pretty good.
9) Mobility Today - Formerly Dave's iPaq, now they profile a ton of mobile gadgets and handheld devices. Personally I own an Axim x30 hi, so I'm into the mobile stuff. This show can sometimes go long and sometimes they talk about stuff I just don't care about, but it's pretty good.
And finally for today:
10) Out of Fellowship - Another podcast that deals with being a Christ-follower but doing so outside the walls of a formal church. This guy knows how to make you think, his last podcast about Post-Congregational Liturgy was great. His shows don't run too long either, usually around 15 minutes, but it's great stuff. It's one of my favorites on the topic of being Christ-like but not making the church our god (others include: Bleeding Purple, Outchurched, As Evidence that I Exists [RIP], Godscrum, and Stupid Church People.) Oh yeah, nice boots.

That's all about podcasts for today, I really hope you check out and enjoy these podcasts. And no, you don't need an iPod to listen to podcasts, I listen on my Axim or on my laptop.

To any podcasters: If you happen to Technorati yourself and my lowley blog pops up and you don't agree with what I've said about your podcast (or heck, if you do agree!) let me know. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
