Week in Review: Week of February 8, 2016

February 16, 2016 by Nathan Bowden Leave a Comment

I'm a bit busy with actual paying work, so I'll keep last week's review short and sweet. If you read this site regularly, you know I'm a big fan of a couple of long-running comedy podcasts: Comedy Bang! Bang! and Never Not Funny. Both celebrated big milestones last week in typically funny fashion. On top of that, you may also know I always like a podcast mashup, especially one that introduces a … [Read more...]

Two Radiotopia podcasts were back into the swing of things last week with their first new episodes of the year. Meanwhile, if you made a resolution to deal with your uncontrollable appetite for all forms of media, another podcast looking to help.

Week in Review: Week of January 18, 2016

It’s not every week you have a podcast celebrating its 500th episode. For you grammar freaks out there, you know what I’m talking about. The Grammar Girl podcast celebrated its 500th episode with, what else, grammar and writing tips. A couple hundred episodes behind, Pete Holmes celebrated the 300th episode of You Made it Weird with a show full of listener questions and plenty of wine and tequila. … [Read more...]

Week in Review: Week of December 14, 2015

December 22, 2015 by Nathan Bowden Leave a Comment

This is a little later than I normally like to get out the Week in Review. In my defense, I caught both Star Wars fever and an actual fever last week. Despite my various maladies, podcasts rolled on with a podcast review of the new Star Wars movie from the other side of the world, the season finale of a popular podrama, and plenty of other podcast goodness. I’m tempted to incldue a Star Wars pun … [Read more...]

Embed from Getty Images   It would be foolish not to start off the Week in Review for last week without mentioning the return of the most popular podcast of all time, Serial. The show’s new season, which has been the source of leaks and speculation for months, finally kicked off last Thursday, and with it, the podcasting world went into a frenzy.

Holiday Gift Ideas for Podcast Nerds

You have a podcast listener on your gift list and you don't know what to get them. The only thing they ever seem to do is listen to podcasts or talk about podcasts. Short of buying them their own podcast, you're not sure what to do. Let me first say that the internet is swimming with podcast t-shirts. If your gift recipient loves a podcast and wears t-shirts, then you've probably already got that … [Read more...]

Week in Review: Week of November 30, 2015

In case you’ve been asleep for the last year or so, one of the most divisive issues gripping the country has been whether hot dogs should be considered sandwiches. The argument has divided families, friends, even television personalities. Last week, the argument came full circle back to the two podcast hosts that arguably started this whole thing. That debate and more are part of last week’s … [Read more...]

Podcast Spotlight: The Message

There was a time when families would huddle around the old wooden console radio to listen to their favorite radio dramas. The shows they listened to had names like The Shadow, The Mysterious Traveler, Lights Out, Suspense, and The Mercury Theatre on the Air (the Orson Welles show responsible for “The War of the Worlds”).
