 Posted: Thu, 30th Aug 2012 17:02 Post subject: Podcasts to listen to |
|
 |
Since I'm alone in the hotel room, I though I pass the time by listing podcasts I like to listen to and ask the humpers what they like.
Skeptoid - a great show, only 10-15 minutes long episodes, all dealing with a single topic, like famous hauntings, UFO incidents, quack medicine, conspiracy theories, etc. An absolute must for everyone, even for those who don't consider themselves skeptics, as the topics are fascinating. Done by a single guy, Brian Dunning.
Skeptic's Guide to the Universe - Obviously another skeptical show, but with longer episodes, all sorts of segments, like name-the-logical-fallacy, fact-or-fiction, great interviews, a sound recognition game, etc. The hosts are generally funny and good communicators of the topics.
The Thinking Atheist - A very friendly guy doing a show alone, taking calls, sharing stories, dealing with a set topic each episode. Some of you might remember the guy from the 'Afterlife' video posted in the "<3" thread (and the hour long speech he gave at the FreeOK convention, also linked there). 
Atheist Experience - These guys and gals are less friendly than the TTA host, mostly becasue they are always tearing down fallcious arguments from theist and unskeptical callers and that makes them seem hostile, despite their intentions as far as I can tell. It's a call-in show, sometimes dedicating a few minutes to a topic at the beggining to give the discussions a boost, but they are kinda famous now in the debate-circle and no need for things like that. These days they go straight to callers. Their primary host, Matt Dillahunty was also featured in the 'Afterlife' video. That guy is cutting through fallacious arguments like noone else, it's a pleasure to listen to.
It's a very long-running show, dating back almost a decade as a public-access cable TV show, and they only went podcast in recent years. Their older episodes are found in the link they always tell in their announcements.
AstronomyCast - The hosts are incredibly UNfunny, no matter how hard they try, their delivery can be a bit dry, but the information content is incredible and very-very educational in a good, non-schoolish kind of way. If you have the slightest interest in astronomy, this is a must.
Without my desktop PC at hand, these are the ones I can remember off the top of my head. I might post more once I get home, but I can heartily recommend these for anyone, especially Skeptoid, as it is easy to listen to and a very good tool to learn skeptical thinking and see it in action.

This guy is brilliant! He was btw to become a baptist minister btw but turned into an atheist during his studies. If you havent listened to his podcast (or watched his show) i'd strongly recomend it.
And as someone mentioned - there is always Ricky Gervais. His broadcast always makes me happy
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
