.
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.

wow thanks for the tip. i glanced over the list of programmes and already have 15 episodes downloading.

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

Nice one!
Gonna listen to this this evening.

Right click on the link, select Save As and it should save the file in mp3 format.

The file type is supported by the Player, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the Player = wont play

does this mean i should dowload a different player i use ms media player

Here is a new Irish one, my mate's to be truthful. Real funny though. Weirdly angry too.

Deadly left wing politics podcast called Against the Grain. The guests are usually top quality as well - the likes of Chomsky, New Left Review contributors etc

Off the top of me head, there's Kermodes BBC Friday Film Review, released as a podcast on Saturdays, diverting enough.
And the Geologic Podcast, goofy little atheist.
