Anyone into podcasts? What do you listen to?
Despite being an iTunes user for several years now, I've only just started listening to podcasts. I tried doing the streaming radio thing but I listen while at work so I need to pause a lot.
The one I've been listening to is called MetalCast. I've been slowly going through the old shows and they play a nice mix of genres. I really like that there's no bullshit talk in between songs. They play music and announce what they play with a little fact here and there or information on who's touring. Occasional interviews, too. Plus they do themed shows so if I'm in the mood for something like thrash, I can listen to that show. Yesterday I listened to a show where all the bands featured were influenced by the works of Tolkien. They even mentioned PP USA on the first progressive show from last year.
Another one I tried listening to was Metalscape but that has all the annoying talking with two very ill-informed hosts. They were discussing the Stratovarius drama but had the facts completely wrong. Basically there's a lot of swearing, some stupid discussions I don't care about, and a song played every 20 minutes (the shows are 2-3 hr long each). After finding MetalCast, I unsubscribed from this one since I was skipping 75% of the show.
Any shows to recommend? I'm mostly looking for shows that will play a little bit of everything and don't try to be a Howard Stern show between songs. Doesn't even necessarily have to be metal though I'm only looking for music shows as I'm not a big talkshow listener. I'll probably get through the entire backlog of shows from MetalCast by the end of next week so......
