There are only a few podcasts I consider to be the absolute best; the kind that make me feel grateful that podcasting was invented. Number one on my list is Digital Flotsam. Why P.W Fenton likes my podcast back, I’ll never understand. But I’m truly honored. Others that are really, really up there are WGBH Morning Stories, Earthcore (R.I.P.), and 5 Minutes with Wichita.
That’s it. The rest are just filler, except for Daily Source Code, which I listen to because life feels incomplete without it.
Where does mine fall in there? If I weren’t the host, I wouldn’t listen to it. Then again, Stanley Kubrick hated every one his own movies. I can totally relate.
Today while catching up on old episodes of Morning Stories, I heard about…ooooh, earthquake. Second strong tremor in the last couple of days.
All done, I’m still here. Tony Kahn of Morning Stories gave a plug for a podcast called The Seanachai. It’s the kind of podcast where immediately after listening to the latest show, you download every past episode, listen to all of them back to back, and from then on you check for a new episode first thing every day.
Now that I have a working iPod, I have sampled a veritable shitload of podcasts lately, and honestly, the only one that stands out is The Serenachi. Patrick Mclean is more talented than this new form of media deserves.
