Podcasts

Initially I thought I was late to the podcast party and it’s day had come and past. However since then I have realised that as people get used to watching tv on demand through the likes of Netflix, iPlayer, 4OD, etc then there’s no reason why they wouldn’t want radio-on-demand. I just think the issue is people don’t see podcasts as radio-on-demand. They see it as it’s own thing, with it’s own shows and as time goes on that isn’t the case. Only time will tell on podcasts but personally I love them and think they’re a great way to spend a long commute home.

With that in mind I thought I’d give you a taster of what I listen to. I generally prefer the non-fiction category but on a wide range of subjects. In alphabetical order they are:

Around The NFL

Friday Mixtape

How to be Amazing

Invisibilia

Planet Money

Radiolab

Reply All

Science Vs

Serial

The 361 Degrees Podcast

The Allusionist

The Memory Palace

The Voicemail

This American Life

It’s worth noting that I use Pocket Casts. It’s a wicked podcast app and the best I’ve found.

Enjoy,

Sounds like a Fisher Price toy doesn’t it… a really boring, really lame toy.

I dread to think how many times in the past I have tried to write a blog. Ultimately I get caught up in how it looks, how it reads, what does it say about me, etc and then I don’t bother writing for it. Until now that is. In the past I have been too wrapped up in consuming content, whether that be books, articles, videos, etc, but recently I have been reading more and more that says you get more out of creating rather than consuming so here goes.

I am hoping to cover off topics I like, stories I have found interesting and generally just creating a place where I can create something, that hopefully someone, someday will read.

Enjoy,
