Podcasts to Make it Through the Daily Grind
Following nOva’s lead, I decided to reveal some of my favorite podcasts that are essential to me making it through the work week. Trust me, work would not be quite as enjoyable if I didn’t have podcasts on my Zune. I listen to or watch approximately 34 podcasts, but I’m only going to provide you with a sampling of the ones I enjoy the most.
Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code
Aside from the fact that Adam was one of my favorite MTV VJs back in the day, I just find this podcast enjoyable. He discusses a little bit of everything, which can include tech, world politics, his dealings with the TSA, his family, and music, of course. I love the fact that Adam is wide open with all guns blazing, hence why his podcast is one (among several that I listen to) with the “explicit” tag.
If you want daily tech stories with a humorous slant, then the Buzz Out Loud podcast is for you. If you’re familiar with Mahalo Daily’s Vernonica Belmont, then you may or may not be aware that BOL is the podcast she worked on before leaving. However, hosts Molly Wood, Tom Merritt, and Jason Howell are holding things down quite nicely.
I just recently discovered the Mysterious Universe podcast and have been hooked ever since. This podcast covers everything supernatural: ghost hauntings, thunderbird (not the email app) and bigfoot sightings, UFO news, and other supernatural phenomena. If you are a believer and follow the ways of Agent Fox Mulder, then this is a podcast you will enjoy.
The Totally Rad Show covers movies, games, comics, TV shows, and also has some pretty hilarious movie shorts at the beginning of each episode. The only reason I watched this show in the beginning is because I am a Diggnation fan and wanted to check out Alex’s new show. I didn’t like it at first, so I unsubscribed and came back later to discover an improved and very entertaining podcast.
Get this: I don’t drink at all. I’ve only ever drank once in my entire life (wine), and the little that I had gave me a headache. Wine or drinking any kind of alcoholic beverage is not something I’ve ever concerned myself with; however, that doesn’t mean that I’m not interested in being cultured. And trust me, host Gary Vaynerchuck makes that really easy to do. His wine podcast is quite funny, and I just enjoy his enthusiasm that he has over wines.
