Any good spoken word podcasts about? (1 Viewer)

[Beanstalk]

Sometimes I just get tired of music, and would like to hear some band interviews, or interesting music discussions/anecdotes.

Any podcast recommendations?

I do indeed...that'll do nicely.

I'm addicted to that Guardian football podcast now.


There are loads of other good ones on different topics too...

Yeah the guardian one is great. I'm hooked too. Having it twice weekly is handy.

This is an incredible archive of deadly documentaries.

also thanks to carbide, i'm hooked on this american life
the whole archive is available for streaming on the site with the most recent episodes downloadable, but if you want you can download the complete back catalogue as a torrent on pirates bay or the like. they have a tv show out now thats pretty good too.
another goodie that carbide recommended to me is the sound of young america which is primarily interviews with all sorts of folk. the interviewer, jesse thorne, is excellent and usually gets the most out of the interviewees.

the roy harper podcast is usually pretty boring - fans talking about him and the odd tune. this month, however, there is the first of a 3part special featuring almost 3 hours of interview with the genius himself! http://stormcock.net/taxonomy/term/17 the interview is spread out over three episodes, just the first one available so far
