Week in Review: Week of October 5, 2015

It’s fall, which means two things: (1) harvest time and (2) baseball playoffs. In podcast terms, there are some great new podcasts ready to be plucked up and consumed, and if you need any inspiration to get excited about baseball this October, you might find it from an unlikely source. Only Human:  WNYC launched a new podcast last week that promises to look at how health shapes our lives. The … [Read more...]

My podcast week in review for last week is a bit late, but sometimes real life takes precedence over things like scarcely-read, pet-project websites. That said, there were some interesting things happening in podcasting last week, so I wanted to get this posted, even if it is a little late and a little abbreviated. Probably the biggest news in podcasting last week was the return of one of the most … [Read more...]

Week in Review: Week of September 21, 2015

The big news from the world of podcasts last week had nothing to do with any actual audio produced but with leaks about the subject of Serial’s next season. The makers of Serial, like a new celebrity parent pleading for privacy from the paparazzi, responded with a statement neither confirming nor denying the report and asking fellow journalists to give them room while they work on their next … [Read more...]

Week in Review: Week of September 14, 2015

It’s not unusual for podcasts to bleed into one another. Podcasters often cross borders to visit other lands and chat with their neighbors. Last week was no different, with a guest appearance by the hardest working man in podcasts and a friendly podcast takeover. Last week also saw a new season of a show about old Hollywood, a new sports podcast that turned out to be equal parts political … [Read more...]

Los Angeles Podcast Festival Day 3

Los Angeles Podcast Festival Day 3

Sometimes, being predictable can be good. That was the case at the 2015 LA Podfest as one of the best things that could be said about the many great shows performed from Friday night to Sunday night was that they lived up to their own standards. Performing podcasts that are often recorded in studios or homes in front of large audiences in hotel ballrooms could understandably change a podcaster’s … [Read more...]

Week in Review: Week of September 7, 2015

Last week’s podcast highlights included a fake contract negotiation, a punk-band drummer turned comedian, high school seniors sweating out the college admissions process, and a man who’s been confined to the grounds of an embassy for the last three years. It’s a grab bag of random podcast goodness in the Week in Review. Hollywood Handbook:  Hosts Shawn Clements and Hayes Davenport celebrated … [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”).
