I love podcasts. I do
a lot of walking. Usually every day I
take a nice long stroll to clear my head and to stay active. While I do I have my ear buds in and most
times I am listening to music. However
at least once or twice a week I take a break from the tunes and listen to a
podcast. Here are some of my favorites. Some are music related, some are not.
The Rock and Roll Geek Show
Love this one, it's probably my favorite. The host, Michael Butler, is funny
and insightful when it comes to the world of rock. It’s been around for a
long time and I only started listening to it last year. I have discovered more new music from this
podcast than I have anywhere else. His
track by track reviews of albums are the best.
I highly recommend this one for music lovers. And he discusses a variety of music from the
rock and roll genre, from Bryan Adams to Megadeath have been featured on his
show the last few months. He highlights
a lot of music that might not be in the mainstream too and I got some great
pickups from his top ten albums from 2015.
Eddie Trunk's Podcast
I still love Eddie Trunk.
He is still probably our number one soldier for waving the rock and roll
flag. Great interviews and I have picked
up some new music from here too. For
example, I would have never thought to check out the new Europe album until
Eddie suggested it on his best of 2015 list.
Sad to hear his T.V. show did not get renewed on VH1. Hope it gets picked up and finds a home
somewhere else. In the mean time, the podcast still rocks.
That Simpsons Podcast
I am a lifelong Simpsons fan. Yes yes I know, it’s not as good as it used
to be, but it’s still enjoyable. I am
old enough to clearly remember when it debuted and I have watched it ever
since. When I watched the season premiere
this season I thought, first time I watched this show I was in high school now
here I am still watching in my forties. That’s wild! It’s been part of my life for a long time.
This podcast usually contains three entertaining and humorous hosts that take
us through the early years of the Simpsons one show at a time. Each show features a new episode and they
play clips, talk about some behind the scenes stuff, discuss the introduction
of new characters and reflect on shows evolution among other things. They also give us ‘this day in Simpsons history’
and share with us what was going on in the world when the episode first
aired. It certainly makes me, and the
show, feel old! If you are a Simpsons fan this podcast is great fun!!
Risk
If you love good story telling you should enjoy this
one. Each podcast falls under a
different theme and various stories from various people are shared from their
own lives falling under that particular theme.
Some are quite humorous and some are quite powerful and moving. I think this pretty much sums this one
up. It’s very good!
There are many others I listen to at times and I am always
checking out new ones. I might do
another post some time about some others.
I would love to do my own podcast and I even have some ideas but I have
no idea about how to get into the podcast world including the ins and outs of
the legalities of it, if I were for example, to play some music on it. I would preferably like a co-host too! I guess I will stick to the blogging for now.
If you are a podcast listener I would love some recommendations!! As always, thanks for
stopping by! Comments are welcomed!
Cheers!
