Podcasts Recommendations

The Ivy League Nigga · Fri Mar 12, 2010 9:42 pm

I know this thread has happened before, but the world of podcasts changes so often... why not do it again?

So what podcasts are you listening to?

I like shit about news, politics, pop-culture/current events. Also, if there's any smart commentary on hip hop, I'd like that too.

What about comedy? What are some of the funniest podcasts out there? And are there any with Black comedians?

Star and Buc Wild do a show on www.shovio.com. I've watched it a few times and thought it was alright. Every show is available in the on demand section.

What's the difference between "Real Late" and "Juan Epstein"? And are they making new episodes of either?

ackbar · Post by **ackbar** » Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:19 pm

they're slow as fuck with the juan epstein episodes.. they release them sporadically

they're completely separate/uncut/uncensored interviews/conversations that they record for the podcast. check the archives.. great long format interviews with fat joe, pete rock, large professor, q-tip, etc.

Also, if you like basketball podcasts:

-FreeDarko Presents: The Disciples of Clyde
-The Basketball Jones
-NBA Today by ESPN

Also, Matthew Berry's podcast during the football season is good if you area fantasy football head but he dabbles in pop culture anywhere from a quarter to a half of the podcast.

listened to the BS report with adam carolla earlier today and holy lols at them ragging on bruce springsteen. this song is about a factory that makes factories...

don't generally listen to too many podcasts but do love 'firewall & iceberg' w/ alan sepinwall and dan fineberg on hitfix.com. its 99% television based but always entertaining.
latest one to stream or d/l

will check out the davey mac sports one for sure

Wanted to strongly recommend that everyone checkout this week's Comedy Death Ray podcast....

Unbelievably funny episode with Adam Scott playing it straight, Paul F Tompkins as Ice-T, and James Adomian doing a pretty spot-on parody of Jesse Ventura.

This is great stuff. I'm listening right now and I can't stop laughing at the Ventura parody.

Peace to you and Alaska for putting me on to this podcast.
