The Podcast Recommendation Thread!

   Right, I've been meaning to do this for a while.

   I listen to a load of Podcasts regularly, but I'm always on the lookout for new ones to sync to the old iPhone.

   In iTunes at the minute, I have the following shows: (iTunes links where I could get them).

   Adam & Joe
   Around Comics
   ATL - Introducing New Irish Music
   Best of Nolan
   The Film Programme
   Front Row Highlights
   In Our Time With Melvyn Bragg
   It Came Out On Wednesday
   Jonathan Ross
   Letter To America
   Limmy's World Of Glasgow (nothing new for a while now, but the funniest thing ever)
   The Lost Initiative - The Official LOST Podcast
   Mark Kermode's Movie Reviews
   Material World
   Music Weekly on Guardian Unlimited
   Radio 1 Punk Show
   The Ricky Gervais Podcast
   Russell Howard and Jon Richardson
   Science in Action
   The Skeptics Guide to the Universe
   SModcast (Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier)
   Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone
   Thinking Allowed
   This Week In Tech

   Phew, that took me a while, so I hope its worth my while...

   C'mon people, I'm throwing you gold - give a little back? I love new shows!

   I listen to lots of random mentalist podcasts, usually no more than one, I just like to keep track of the freaks on the net, but Stephen Fry has just started so I'll probably be a regular for Stephen Fry's Podgrams

   Oh, I meant to add in Stephen Fry's one. Listened to the first episode today.

   Doesn't half go on about his broken arm! Good photos embedded in the M4A stream though.

   Football weekly, Adam and joe, Ricky Gervias and guardian unlimited music (presenters drive me crazy but they get good nuggets out of bands occasionally) are all top notch.

   edit; I now see you have all of these and therefore very good taste!

    These are a little different to the ones listed before and they proably aren't to everyone's tastes (more beats than guitars!)

    Bubbletease - Unreleased new Maurice Fulton Productions. These podcasts are incredible. Loads of stuff gets an airing long before it gets released. If you like DFA style beats then get your hands on this.
    Beats In Space - Weekly two hour dance show with DFA connections. The mixes on this thing are incredible. Most of the past ones are available to download on their website www.beatsinspace.net. Next week has obscure disco legend Mark Seven doing it. It's going to be amazing.
    The Fabric Podcast - This has all sorts of dance related goodies! It's only a few months in and so it's going to be one to watch. Even Jonny Trunk gets a look in.
    DreamChimney Track of the Day - These guys have the balaeric / cosmic / disco/ pacifica vibe tied up. It's called track of the day but you seem to get about 10 a day at the moment. This is also the best place to hear new Sorcerer and Hatchback stuff. Even if you just have a casual interest in music you'll find some goodness here.
    Bumrocks - This is the business. Obscure disco/rock/funk/soul/house/cosmic etc etc. It also has guest mp3s every once in a while.
    Resident Adviser Podcast - This is a regular dance based podcast (See a theme!). It's had mixes by loads fo great people. This weeks mix is by Pole.
    SiX Million Steps - If you like funk, soul and disco then this is a great podcast to subscribe to. Really good themed mixes with previous ones based on The Chic Organisation, Tom Moulton etc.

    Kermode's movie reviews on five live are excellent. I don't always agree with him but almost always find him entertaining. Especially when he goes on a rant and calls yer man Orlando Bland and (because he finds her acting so wooden) Ikea Nightly etc etc.

    He said the love sceens between them in 'Pirates 3' was like watching chairs mate.

    If its mixes you want look no further than Adam Freeland's Marine Parade podcast.

    In particular the Freeland Breezeblock mix, but its all pretty good.

    The Writer's Almanac, Garrison Keillor is a good one. Each one is only 5 mins, with enticing info-baubles about various writers and then a poem.

    There's some great podcasts from NYC radio station WFMU. Sadly the best one (Raw Sewage) is gone but I recommend Downtown Soulville and DJ/Rupture's Mudd Up!.
    
    http://www.wfmu.org/podcast

    Two labels doing something more interesting with podcasts rather than the usual new release showcases:

    Stones Throw: http://www.stonesthrow.com/jukebox/
    Great guest mixes and remix exclusives.

    Social Registry: http://podcasts.thesocialregistry.com/
    Whole live shows, mixtapes and rarities from label artists.

    
    More locally, caff/flick records has some great mixes on their site, though irritatingly you can't subscribe via iTunes: http://www.caff-flick.com/home.html

    Some of the users on Thumped started uploading to a podcast forum a while back: http://www.thumped.com/bbs/forumdisplay.php?f=44
    Also annoyingly in multiple formats and difficult to subscribe to but some great stuff in there.
    Recommended: Brian Connife, dudley, RimbaudRecords, Rock Jihad.

    Anybody hear this weeks 'This American Life' podcast? Break-up. Brilliant. Could be corny but not at all. *cough* Phil Collins talks to a girl who's break up song was 'Against All Odds'. Some brilliant stuff.

    sorry to advertise but in case you don't know about it...
    i do the NvTv video podcast one (on itunes) with sessions + interviews from the likes of Biffy Clyro, Futureheads, Frank Turner, Neon Neon, frightened rabbit etc and local acts such as Oppenheimer, therapy, general fiasco, panama kings. the latest one is an acoustic set from ASIWYFA. just search 'nvtv music' in itunes to get it for free.

    also the panic dots one is really good as well - has team fresh on it this week.

    are there any other locally based ones?
