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 9, 2015

With the presidential election now less than a year away, it makes sense that podcasts devoted to the election and politics would expand at a greater rate, and last week was prime evidence of that. If you’re an election junky, there are plenty of podcasts to keep your habit going with shows … [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 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.

Week in Review: Week of June 22, 2015

No doubt, John Boehner is already on the phone to Neil deGrasse Tyson. Here are last week’s podcast highlights, featuring POTUS, SCOTUS and lots-more-OTUS. WTF: Surprise! Yes, the President of the Unites States appearing on a podcast counts as … [Read more...]

View image | gettyimages.com   Can podcasts help us deal with loss? By loss, I mean the loss of two television shows that came to an end this week: Late Show with David Letterman and Mad Men. This week’s podcast highlights include an interview with Jon Hamm, lots of Letterman talk, a story about a president’s twitter account (not the one you’re thinking of), and some exciting new … [Read more...]
