Thirteen of My Favorite Podcasts

13. GodlyGals Podcast - I’ll take this opportunity to plug my own! On a bi-weekly basis, GodlyGals hosts a podcast along with a live chat room. We also take calls via Skype and we’re having a great time with it so far. Check it out sometime! We announce podcasts ahead of time and if you’d like to be notified when we schedule a new one, join the GodlyGals Facebook group, friend us on Myspace, or just send an email to godlygals@godlygals.com and asked to be added to the mailing list.

12. GSPN.tv Lost Podcast - I mostly listen to this one for the callers because they have a lot of people listening live who call in with really great theories. And that’s really all I’m going to say about that one. Listen and you can decide for yourself what you think.

11. The Transmission - Ryan and Jen Ozawa started the first LOST podcast, left for some time, and are back again. Ryan is responsible for breaking a lot of spoilerific news about LOST because they live on the island — wait, I seriously just said, “they live on the island.” They don’t live on The Island (which I’m sure exists), they live in Hawaii.

10. Talk of the Nation podcast - I like this one, but I hate how they give a patronizing giggle toward conservatives. You seriously think you give fair coverage? No, you do not. But I still listen because I like to know what’s going on in the world. Or what some people think is going on.

9. NPR’s Fresh Air podcast - Why listen to the radio when you can download for free? (Bad Liz, bad!) But I’m not home when it comes on and I prefer the comfort of my tub to the seat of my car. I really enjoy hearing the various guests they have on. Unless it’s someone really boring that day, like a former aide to President Clinton. Seriously. It’s over, people.

8. The Lone Conservative - I just discovered this one, but I really like it so far. The guy has spirit.

7. The Jay & Jack Show - Jay & Jack’s Ramblecast and The Married Man podcast have merged to form this new show. Why are these guys so entertaining? They’ve even had special guest, Jorge Garcia on the show a few times. True, I can do without “Hybrid” (Cliff) and Dale, but I just love Jay and Jack together. For those of you who don’t know, Jack is Jay’s stepdad, but you’d never guess they weren’t related. P.S.; Call the show on your cell phone while driving. Jack will love it.

6. Mars Hill Podcast - I really enjoy hearing Mark Driscoll speak so it’s nice to have his sermons showing up in my iTunes on a weekly basis. I recommend the one on birth control and another on the “emergent church.” Strictly biblical. I like it that way.

5. The Dharmalars - You know. LOST. What can I say. Not one for the kiddies and you can pretty much skip the first 15 minutes as it’s nearly always them goofing around. Good discussion about LOST theories though.

4. The Lost Initiative - With Kim and Aimee. Not the stupid British one. I wouldn’t recommend this podcast to any children or anyone with children in the room, but I like to hear a female take on the show. And they played one of my calls (nerd alert) and were very impressed with my question. *beam*

3. LOST Unlocked - Voices. Sometimes they annoy. But I got past that and really started enjoying the show. A little bit cheesy, but they like to talk about in-depth theories from time to time and that’s fun for me.

2. This American Life podcast - I love this show. Love love love it. There’s something about being told stories that reminds me of when I was little and watching Reading Rainbow or something. Check out their episode, “The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar.” I’ve still got the episode saved so that I can let Kevin’s dad listen sometime. It’s about a kid disappearing in North Carolina back around the time his dad was growing up. I think he might find it interesting and might even remember what happened. Very intriguing story.

1. The Lost Podcast with Jay & Jack - At first, Jay’s voice annoyed me. Then I realized they are one of the best LOST podcasts out there and they won me over. I downloaded all of their episodes and listened. This week they are at Comic-Con and I can’t wait to hear all the fun LOST-related stuff they have to report back. Anyone else planning to join Dharma after the launch? (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you aren’t a serious LOST fan and you are dead to me. Unless you’re my fiance.)

I’ve never listened to a podcast, so your TT was all about a different wold. Maybe I should give it a try.

Great podcast list here… Happy TT! Mine’s up too hope you can drop by…
Tink July 23rd, 2008 at 5:11 pm 3

I’ve just recently discovered podcasts and I’m still collecting tips from everywhere, so this is the perfect subject for me! Thanks for sharing.
My TT is about Luxembourg.

Boy, I don’t really listen to talk radio. Sometimes I listen to taped interviews while I work out - of workout people - but usually it’s music all the time for me! Good for you for expanding your mind and self!

I’m so out of it—I wouldn’t even begin to understand what your list is. I’m a geek!!!! An old geek.

Mine’s posted. Come by if you can find time.

Yay for This American Life! My fav episode is this one: http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1185 (which one them a peabody award)…

You might also like Matt Chandler of the Village Church. He’s a part of Acts 29 (Driscoll’s Church Planting group) and is quite good. I much prefer him to Driscoll.

I also quite like the allelon.org podcast (when they update) and the “Nick and Josh” podcast frequently has good interviews…

My other favs would likely be a bit liberal for your liking (the Emergent Village podcast, the *other* Mars Hill podcast (Rob Bell), Greg Boyd’s church…)

Oh and anything with Tim Keller is a must download (find ‘em in the Desiring God podcasts and Resurgence~Acts29 podcasts)…

You’ve introduced me to 13 podcasts I did not know about. Thank you, ma’am.

There were a few in there I would have liked to check out, but they didn’t have links.

Very interesting T13 topic!
pjazzypar July 24th, 2008 at 7:00 am 12

Cool. I’ll have to check some of them out.
marcia@joyismy goal July 24th, 2008 at 7:53 am 13

I have never listened to a podcast but I have wanted to– I do like some of those talk shows
Malcolm July 24th, 2008 at 9:50 am 14

A colleague that I carpool with is a podcast fan (Lost and Battlestar Galactica are a couple that he listens to regularly). Via another blogger, I just discovered one dealing with One Life To Live. Since I still watch the show occas., I might give the podcast a listen.

A couple of years ago I thought about starting my own. Maybe I will if and when time permits.
Lori-NotSoSuperwoman July 24th, 2008 at 12:35 pm 15

Wow, you are a LOST fan in the same way I am a Firefly fan. Cool.

We plan to check out LOST via dvd soon. We missed the beginning and didn’t want to jump in the middle. Am a JJ Abrams fan, so we’ll prob love it.

I only subscribe to one podcast now. May have to check into more. There are so many available!
Starrlight July 24th, 2008 at 2:49 pm 16

great idea for a tt!
Katie G (princess_peas) July 24th, 2008 at 8:05 pm 17

Wow, you REALLY like LOST, don’t you??

I knew you were a fan, but not this much of one!
Kara July 25th, 2008 at 8:25 am 18

I also really like NPR’s Talk of the Nation. I will have to check out some of these other podcasts!
Cindy Swanson July 25th, 2008 at 8:52 am 19

What an interesting TT! I’m a huge “Lost” fan, so I appreciated those podcast recommendations…I would also like to listen to “Godly Gals.” Sounds intriguing! Hope you’ll stop by my TT when you get a moment, Liz.

That is quite a list of podcasts. I will have to take time and check them out.
Maddy July 31st, 2008 at 9:44 am 21

Aha! There you are. I am not ‘lost’ anymore. I’m with you completely on 11,10,9 and 2 [especially 2] but the others? I shall have to investigate.

There was me thinking I was the only person on the planet who downloads radio broadcasts rather than music!
Cheers
