Here’s a couple of recommended podcasts, to add to the list that I published a few months ago.
Stephen Fry’s Podgrams – Stephen Fry was a wonderful voice and does all kinds of work as a voice actor (e.g. the narrator for the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie and for the BBC children’s cartoon Pocoyo) as well as a live actor on stage, television, and films. He’s recorded five podcasts (or podgrams) to date. It’s wonderful, warm, witty, semi-melancholy stuff. Hey, House fans: did you know that actor Hugh Laurie (House himself) was once part of a British comedy duo called Fry and Laurie? Stephen is the Fry!)
You Look Nice Today – this podcast, while not an unkind show, is still not for the faint of heart or mind. Clever word plays, irreverence, and all around silliness prevail as this podcast cranks out thoughts and dialog at a rapid pace. Definitely not for children. I really like it – it’s a podcast about nothing but it’s highly entertaining.
As a general tip, if you’re looking for interesting, varied, and thought provoking podcasts, I strongly recommend that you check out the websites from the folks who make great radio programs, like the BBC, CBC, and National Public Radio.
