Here's some more Podcast Reviews.

Adam and Joe
I've just started listening to this recently but I really like it so far. It's basically a compilation of the best bits of their BBC6 radio show. Adam and Joe are both quite funny and they bounce off each other really well so the show moves along at a good pace. The segments are top quality as well, especially 'Song Wars' in which Adam and Joe each have to create a song based on a common theme.

Keith and the Girl
I haven't listened to this show for a long time but I thought I'd mention it because I used to be quite into it. In fact, I think I have listened to over 500 episodes of it. The show features a New York couple, Keith and Chemda, who tell stories from their lives and just generally chat. It's very funny, particularly the early episodes when they tell stories about their jobs as children's party clowns. The main reason that I stopped listening to it was the fact that I was finding their output a bit too prolific to keep up with - an hour long show five times a week is a lot, but I think I might return to it at some point.

Sound Opinions
This is an excellent show about music. Usually, each episode will centre around a particular theme which might be a special guest musician, a classic album or a genre of music. The hosts are Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot who are both Chicago based music critics. They are incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining and this show has introduced me to a lot of great music.

The Life with Roy & HG
I've always been a big fan of Roy & HG and have followed their various radio shows for a while. This one, like their old Triple J show, is focused on sport and it's very funny. I love the way these guys bounce off each other and riff on a topic, subtly building towards a conclusion that is both humorous and unexpected. Great stuff.

That's it for now.

I spend a lot of time listening to my ipod. Some weeks I reckon I'd listen to about thirty hours worth of stuff (mainly because I have my ipod on all day at my job). Anyway, a lot of that time is spent listening to podcasts, currently I listen to about 15 different ones. Thing is, it's always difficult to find out what podcasts are good. Usually you have to listen to a few episodes, see what it's like, work out whether you want to commit to downloading it every week. Then more often than not, you decide no, it's not really worth it. So on that note, I thought it might be useful to do some Podcast Reviews of stuff that I have spent time listening to.

Get This
This was a radio show hosted by Tony Martin, Ed Kavalee and Richard Marsland. It ran for two years up until 2007 but you can still find (nearly) all the episodes online. With a different co-host each episode, it's a mix of talk, in-jokes, hilarious sketches and awesome talkback. It's just addictive once you start listening to it and I still quote stuff from it, two years on.

Hamish and Andy
Sure, they're ridiculously popular, but for good reason I reckon. I have consistently listened to this from the beginning and it's stayed consistently funny. There's just a great comedic chemistry between the duo and they're always striving for new ideas and pushing the boundaries to keep the show fresh.

The Russell Brand Show
Man, at first I wasn't too sure about this show but I really got into it as it went on. It definitely reached a high point right before it got axed. I'd suggest it was so good because Russell Brand was always pushing the envelope with his comedy. I love his theatrics and his use of language, it's an improvisational style of comedy that's just hilarious. Matt Morgan and Mr. Gee are very funny also. Find it here.

The Ricky Gervais Show
Just a great radio show. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant combine really well but it is Karl Pilkington who makes this show truly brilliant. It's strange to think that in a radio show that features two of the finest comedy writers ever, it is Karl that steals the show. Hilarious.

Flight of the Conchords
Before the tv show was this 6 part BBC radio serial. When I travelled around Europe, I listened to this obsessively on repeat. It's very funny, it has great cameos and the songs really stand up to repeated listens.

The Sound of Young America
This radio show, based in Los Angeles, has introduced me to so much new stuff, whether it be music, tv shows, comedians, artists - whatever really. It's basically a show about pop culture, the host Jesse Thorn interviews all manner of guests and even when it's about something that I might not be into, I still find it really interesting.

This American Life
A one hour radio documentary. Each week is a different theme and it's always something really interesting and insightful. The key thing about this show is that although it's all factual, it always tells a fascinating story that I've never heard before.

The Treatment
Each episode, Elvis Mitchell interviews someone important in film. He's one of the best interviewers I've ever heard because his knowledge of film is so huge that he usually offers insight on a film that even the interviewee hadn't thought of. He does it in a way that suggests a great passion for film.

There are lots more but I'll leave it there for now, to be continued.
