I should have mentioned my favorite podcasts, the Dan Carlin Hardcore History. If you want to try one out, check out the one about the Mongol Khans or the current one, WW1 Countdown to Armageddon.

Hardcore history is awesome!

Uhh, ok. Do you have a hurtful Majkowski story you need to get off your chest?

The Beerists.

Hilarious, it can get ridiculous from time to time. Very entertaining.

You'll learn a lot from the Jamil Show/Brew Strong. Just make sure there's enough space in your listening room for yourself and Jamil's ego.

I love the BN, I started at the very first podcast of the session and am working my way to the end, eventually I will listen to every single episode of every show, but the Jamil show, will be last. I've listened to all of the Brewing With Style ones,which are essentially his book made over. I hate how there's only 5-10 minutes of actual brewing information in one of those podcasts! I guess it's just about finding that "balance" between a brewing podcast and a simulated backyard bonfire. I hate to say that out loud but glad I'm not only person. Something tells me Jamil is is actually a really great guy, and would probably spend time talking one on one with a homebrewer to help them, or just share a pint.

I love Justin, and miss D a lot, Vinnie, Dan Gordon and Shawn Paxton are the best episodes of the Session.

Basic Brewing Radio is recorded in my home state, which is about like trying to find craft beer on the moon, so always found that ironic, but love the show.

Hahha, just kidding. Just a hurtful early '90s. Brett and Aaron made me nearly forget Majik ... other than that blonde flowing mullet.

Basic brewing radio is fantastic, plenty of good info and just the right amount of banter, without interfering with the s how's content. Very well produced as well, no weird background noises or poor audio quality.

Hell yes to this. They talk only about commercial beer, but I still think it's invaluable to homebrewers. I mention this podcast to my brew buddies whenever I get the chance, as I am of the opinion that if you want to brew great beer, you should know what flavors you're going for, and how to describe what you're drinking. My tasting vocabulary has expanded exponentially since I started listening to The Beerists.

Non-brewing related, any book on tape by Jon Ronson or Mary Roach is fascinating to the point of distraction.
