What's your favourite podcast?

Just came back in this thread to see the Dan Carlin love. So glad you guys have had a crack and you're enjoying it. 

I'm nearly ready to go back and listen to that again, it was just so amazing. 

It wasn't just the listening hours for me either. Every night after smashing it in the car for my commute, I would look up stuff online and go down rabbit-holes about war time personalities, or more details of the battles etc, it really got me so so interested in the history of WW1.

Also, perhaps a minor spoiler alert, but when he talks in one episode about the ANZACs in Turkey, I must admit I felt my heart swell with pride. I think the quote was something like "Most historians agree, that the best, bravest of all the soldiers in WW1, were the British forces, and in particular the Australians and New Zealanders". 

I'm no fan of war in this way usually, but after listening through hours of him talking about the bravery, honour, comradery, and what is required to fight in those battles, to hear him say that about kiwis, made me feel immensely proud of our ancestors, and I get a different feeling now when I drive past the RSA monument in Paraparaumu every morning and afternoon. Much respect. So much respect.

Athletico Mince.  Bob Mortimer and Andy Dawson's podcast on football and other stuff. Very good, can't believe I've not heard of it before.

I've been listening to Turned Out a Punk on Spotify - which is done by Damian from F*cked Up and has really good interviews with punk/hardcore people, journalists etc. Judging by the Musical Tag thread - some of you maybe interested. 

He's interviewed people like Fat Mike, Davey Havok, Tim McIlreth, Lars Frederikson, Chris Hannah - amongst many others. 

Just finished listening to Tough Conversations with Henry Rollins. The idea of it is pretty cheesy - talking to people about difficult situations they've been in and how they've over come them (hence the tough), but Rollins is an interesting character in himself which made it enjoyable.

Just like to add a couple of recent entries:

1. The Habitat.  A summary of a year in a Mars simulation habitat in Hawaii.

2. We the Martians. Good overview of space exploration with Mars always in sight.  Find some of the episodes too long and technical sometimes.

3. Are we there yet? Possibly my favorite poddie of all times (after Dan Carlin and of course the old YF podcast) which looks at all things space!

Just finished listening to Ebay vs Paypal. So interesting

So you off to Mars then mate? 

To be honest I couldn't do it.  I suffer from claustrophobia and I get motion sick too easily, let alone the fact that I'm too old, have family and studied Latin in school so I don't have too much of a scientific mind...

But I am very interested in space exploration and especially the colonization of Mars, so I read, watch and listen as much as I can on the topic!

Just working through the new season of Serial. Very good from them again. But geezus, legal systems are messy creatures.
