Both Con<\/a> and Warren <\/a>shared their favourite podcasts in recent #blogjune posts. Both of their favourites are on my iPhone….and I don’t have that many…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I commute to and from work three days a week, so regularly catch up with the ones in the screenshots. I never miss “Download This Show<\/em>” and recommend this to students in my library technology unit. The others I pick and choose according to interest. I stopped listening to Rear Vision<\/em> about 6 months ago. I am not sure why, as their programmes tend to be an excellent contextualisation of current events.<\/p>\n

Oh look, they are all produced by the ABC.\u00a0 Should get out more a bit \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

When I garden or drive on long trips, I tend to download entire audiobooks. My favourite source is actually BorrowBox<\/a>, provided free through public libraries of W.A.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A couple of years ago I worked my way through most of the BBC “Desert Islands Discs<\/a>” podcasts. These are 1:1 interviews interspersed with the eight records that the subject would take with them to a desert island. The archive goes back to 1956. It was a great way to catch up with the gaps in my knowledge about who was who in the 70s, 80s and 90s.<\/p>\n

I think I would check out This American Life<\/em> and the Moth Halfhour<\/em> if I ran out of things to listen to regularly.<\/p>\n

One of the recurrent themes of Download this show<\/em> is the unsatisfactory podcast listening and discovery apps. I use Downcast <\/a>(which does not mean I think the name is in any way sensible), and am more or less satisfied.<\/p>\n

People made some nice suggestions about other interesting podcasts on Con’s post .. but if anyone has podcast discovery\/listening software that gladdens their hearts, or other podcasts they would recommend, please fire away…<\/p>\n
