Hey so I've only recently discovered the joy of Podcasts, and currently regularly listen to the Pathfinder Podcast, and the entire network of SMODcasts.

I've listened to all of Ricky Gervais' "Guide To..." series.

I am devouring podcasts faster than they are being made!

Help me Paizo-One-Kenobi, you're my only hope!

Find me some podcasts to keep me sane during my very dull filing job, so that I can keep my mind busy while my hands and eyes do all the sorting work.


Depends on if you are into 4th ed or not, but I do like the D&D podcast on wizards.com.

There is also "Radio Free Hommlet" on hommlet.com.

Which one is the official Pathfinder Podcast?

There are several I listen to, but the top four are...

Buzz out Loud - A daily technology news program, and the better of the two tech news programs I listen to. Usually runs a little over a half-hour.

Tech News Today - Another tech news program that runs a little over a half-hour.

The Greatest Movie Ever! - The best and funniest podcast I listen to. Even if you don't listen to it regularly you owe it to yourself to listen to it's reviews of Commando, The Core, House of the Dead, and the Resident Evil movies. Runs about thirty minutes.

Anime Pulse/Manga Pulse - Both Podcasts are downloaded from the same subscription. Anime Pulse runs thirty to forty-five minutes and is done by a guy living in Japan and part of his podcast is what it's really like for an American to live there. Manga Pulse often runs an hour-and-a-half to two hours. Largely because the hosts spend a lot of time talking (ranting really) about politics and current events.

I'd have to recommend almost anything found at http://twit.tv/.

I've always been a big fan of This Week in Tech, and there are lots of other fun tech related podcasts there too.

There are plenty of other actual play podcasts floating around out there. RPGMP3.com has a community of folks podcasting their campaigns and one-off games. There are recordings there of World's Largest Dungeon, Rolemaster, 4e, Warlords of the Accordlands and lately the site has been struck by Pathfinder fever.

I run a Kingmaker game on that site under the name Strand Gamers.


The ones I listen too are

This American Life
Planet Money
The Economist
WYNC Radiolab
WotC's D&D Podcast
Fear the Boot...if you start at episode #1 this ought to keep you busy for awhile.


DMaD tell us which ones you pick up and what you like and dont like..?

It would be interesting to know.

@ Jeremy I love and hate Chad from Fear the Boot... If I was playing with him it would great fun, If I was GMing for him I think I might want to kill him.
