As you know, I have a podcast called Comic News Insider. But what you may not know, is that I listen to a ridiculous amount of them. Before CNI started in April 2005, I was already listening to a few tech ones like This Week in Tech and DiggNation. Now, it’s just silly how many I listen to. Many are podcasts that friends do. I may not necessarily always love what they chat about, but I do love supporting them and hearing their voices. Especially if they don’t live here. It’s like we’re hanging out! Here is a list of podcasts that I listen to regularly:
- Adam and Joe (from their Saturday morning BBC Radio 6 show)
- The Arts Show with Claudia Winkleman (from her Saturday evening BBC Radio 2 show)
- Best of Chris Moyles (weekly collection from his daily BBC Radio 1 morning show)

- This Week in Tech (Leo Laporte’s flagship podcast about tech)
Yes, I know. I listen to a lot of BBC podcasts. Cor blimey! And there are others out there that I listen to occasionally depending on their guest. Podcasts like The Adam Carolla show, Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show, WTF with Marc Maron and others. There were some great podcasts based on TV shows that are now gone since the show is over. Like the Battlestar Galactica one hosted by series creator Ronald Moore, The Official Lost podcast with showrunners Damon Lindeloff/Carlton Cuse and the Doctor Who official podcast. If you’re catching up on those shows, then check out the podcasts too!
Go check out a few if you’re so inclined. Of course, after you’ve finished listening to the latest episode of Comic News Insider!
p.s. I’m sure I’ve upset a few friends that I don’t listen to their podcasts. Sorry, but as you see…I listen to a ton! And I do check in on various podcasts from time to time and give a listen. So there!
