Since Jane and I began working on the Dear Bitches Smart Authors Podcast (new episode coming this week, I promise!) I've started subscribing to a few podcasts, but I want to expand my subscription list. So I figured I'd ask you, since our tastes align in a few key areas.
So far, I subscribe to the “Stuff You Should Know” podcast, and the “Notes in Spanish” podcast – which gives me some hope that I haven't entirely lost my ability to understand Spanish (though my ability to understand the accent from Spain is much greater than my ability to understand Spanish speakers from, say, Argentina, alas).
I haven't found any other podcasts that talk specifically about romance, but I am curious what podcasts you love, and which ones you subscribe to.
Care to share links? I'd much appreciate it – and I bet other folks would, too! And of course, if you've got your own podcast, please do give yourself a bit o' the pimpage up in here, up in here.
Listening to Pop Culture Happy Hour is how I learned about this site.
The Smartest Man in the World with Greg Proops is funny. He makes a ton of references to history.
Stuff You Missed in History is an awesome podcast.
This Week in Tech and This Week in Google and All About Android are all podcasts that feed my inner gadget geek. Leo Leoporte and crew have two upcoming podcasts about gadgets and gaming that I am eagerly awaiting.
Dailed-In keeps me in the loop on the cellphone industry.
Car Talk has awesome hosts.
I like listening to the Grammar Girl podcast.
Snap Judgment has some pretty crazy true stories that follow a different theme each show.
Wait..Wait Don’t Tell Me is okay.
ChinesePod is also okay.
I never knew Greg Proops had a podcast. Will def have to check it out.
I love listening to literature lectures, or other fun classes. A lot of universities’ podcasts are available to non-students now.
There are a few lit classes listed from UC Berkeley, Brandeis, and some Ivy Leagues here: http://www.openculture.com/lit…
I also really love Professor Potts from UCSD. He has some pretty humorous and light-hearted classes on popular literature; including Children’s Lit, YA lit, Lord of the Rings and Science Fiction. UCSD podcasts aren’t permanently listed, so you have to check to see which one is being listed each quarter. “Code Making and Breaking” is also a cool class you can listen to occasionally. 🙂 (And since you know how often Egyptian hieroglyphics and English spy activities come up in historical romance, you’ll note this is some handy stuff know)
