It's free. It's hillarious. It's amazing. The Sklar brothers are hillarious, creative, original and the should be known around here as Jim Rome guest hosts. I can't recommend this enough.

Do yourself a favour and bring some laughter into your life.

edit: Mods maybe this can be moved to tech? or stay here? I've decided to change this to a podcast thread where podcasts can be... discussed..

[troutman]

We were talking about that in the Sportsnet Fan 960 thread.

It is freaky how they can finish each other's sentences, and their knowledge of pop culture is astounding.

The Age of Persuasion from CBC Radio (the best show on CBC, tied with wiretap)
APM: Marketplace Tech Report
Calgarypuck Radio
Canada's History Magazine: The Beaver
Common Sense with Dan Carlin (interesting political views from a non-partisan)
Digital Planet from BBC
Forum - A World of Ideas from BBC
FRONTLINE: Audiocast | PBS
GeekSpeak, KUSP Podcast (a callin radio show from San Diego hosted by Profs)
Great Lives from BBC
A History of Oil (independent, but highly entertaining)
A History of the World in 100 Objects from BBC (THE BEST PODCST TO DATE)
I, Cringely (nice look into tech from an insider-type)
Material World from BBC
My History Can Beat Up Your Politics (interesting look into American politics)
Norman Centuries | A Norman History Podcast by Lars Brownworth
Stuff from the B-Side (Music tidbits show from how stuff works.com)
Stuff You Missed in History Class
Stuff You Should Know
TechStuff
TEDTalks (audio)
WTF with Marc Maron Podcast (comedian interviewing comedians. Nothing off limits)
WireTap from CBC Radio (tied with Age of Persuasion for best from CBC)

For all the tech fans amoung us, Leo Laporte's TWiT Network is great to listen to. They have netcasts on everything from home theatre to legal issues, to computer hardware and cloud computing.

I generally only listen to two: The Globe Hockey Roundtable, or something like that, and the BS Report with Bill Simmons. I'm going to look into the Sklar brothers, though.

[J pold]

Question is there a functional way to download podcasts without iTunes?

[Maritime Q-Scout]

I tend just to listen to CBC Podcasts of "The Q" with Jian Ghomeshi, and "The Vinyl Cafe" with Stuart MacLean

I find Jian is a great interviewer and he tends to have interesting guests on, and MacLean is one of the best storytellers out there today

Common Sense with Dan Carlin (interesting political views from a non-partisan)

Hardcore History with Dan Carlin is great too. So much research goes into his topics that it's only 1 podcast a month 90 minutes each. There was one that was 4 parts, over 5 hours long about WWII and the Eastern Front. Absolutely chilling.

Hardcore History is awesome.

I have way too many podcasts to listen to at the moment and threads like these are killers for me. Killers in a good way, but killers nonetheless. I have to agree with Algernon ... podcasts are incredible and entirely under-utilized by most.

If anybody is looking for a generally hilarious podcast I recommend "You Look Nice Today". It's kind of a conversational podcast, but I find it outstanding.

[DownInFlames]

I subscribe to a ton of podcasts. I don't listen to them all of them all of the time, but it's nice to have something to listen to no matter what I'm in the mood for at the moment.

Here are a bunch that haven't already been mentioned:

Comedy Death-Ray
Doug Loves Movies
The Nerdist
WTF with Marc Maron
Judge John Hodgman
The Pod F. Tompkast
The Joe Rogan Experience
This Week In Photo
Photofocus
D-Town TV
Search Engine
KEXP Live Performance Podcast
CBC Radio 3 Sessions
Today In Canadian History (locally produced at CJSW)

I heartily endorse the Revision3, Smodcast, TWiT, Adam Carolla, and Earwolf networks.

The Joe Rogan Experience. Really smart guy with great guests. Lots of MMA but tons of other topics too. Either like it or hate it.

The Hour video. Should be whole shows but still great.

Bill Maher, now in video i believe

The Nerdist, geek talk with comedians. Lots of talk about the craft of being a comedian but good guests and lots of topics.

[algernon]

Carlin hasn't updated HH in a while, and Bragg is an excelent host, I should have mentioned him as well Ideas(cbc) and Discovery(bbc).

I wish I could find an app to scrub out the intros from the shorter podcasts like;
National Geo
Brain Stuff
I, Cringely
Nova
Podicionary
etc...
I dislike hearing the 1-2 minute intros/outros for each 5 minutes.
I especially dislike the National Geographic minute BROUGHT TO YOU BY STITCHER!!!! YOU CAN DOWNLOAD STITCHER FOR FREE FROM STITCHER.COM!!!!!!!!!

Wow. I didn't know I couldn't listen to this show with out your STITCHER APP!!!!, DOWNLOADABLE FOR FREEEEEE!!! AT STITCHER.COM!
