I need good Podcasts!

I've got this new gig that requires me to do a lot of driving. I've already got all of the Jamil Show, Brew Strong, and the Sunday Session.

Obviously that's enough beer podcasts to choke a donkey. Does anyone have any good comedy, science, music, interview, etc. podcasts? They need to be free cause I'm a cheap bastid.

Can you hum?

It's called a radio. Turn it on. You'd be surprised what comes out of it.

Ok, here's the deal. I'm a music teacher and also play for a living. Many times I just don't want to hear music. I know that's weird but when you do it ALL day long you kinda just want to mellow. It's caused me to look for talk radio. I usually can't find talk radio that is actually interesting.

Well then, try reading as you drive. I'll bet you keep the other drivers on their toes and will return here with many stories to tell.

I've done the "books on tape" thing. Not that interesting and I usually zone out a little then have to "rewind"!

Just about every single town in the US has at least one C&W radio station. You are golden.

My hypocrisy only goes so far.

I don't know if you want more brewing or podcasts in general..but I really like the Australian homebrewing podcast CraftBrewer Radio

It's actually the oldest one around..it started as an australian radio show, like 10 years ago...if you hunt around you can download some of the old ones as well..

here's where the older ones are, plus some great articles...I thin the Aussies have pushed a lot of boundaries in homebrewing...Australian Craft Brewing

Living on the border with Canada, I actually get better signals from canadian public radio than I do with the american public radio station in Detroit..the CBC has several channels of talk and music programming including French Language. And live concerts...most of the stuff is available as downloaded podcasts.

I'm also a big fan of Radio Ireland (I listen to those streams online) and they have podcasts of many of their programming as well...a mix of talk and music too...

Revvy, thanks for the Austrailian homebrew podcasts. Can't get enough brewing podcasts.
