metalman777podcasts Armstrong & Getty, talk radio No Comments

Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty form a fantastic comedic duo who report on news and current events on one of my local AM radio stations (650AM, KSTE)

I found them on iTunes quite by accident!  The podcast is the previous day’s radio show, so you are not listening in real time, but this podcast is a keeper.

These guys are hilarious.  Straight laced and no-nonsense, they tend to have a middle of the road view on politics and world events.  That’s what I like – they don’t lean either way and pump you full of left wing or right wing propaganda.

You can download all 4 hours of the show, or break up which parts you’d like to listen to.  I’d heartily recommend all four hours.  It’ll make you laugh out loud and think real hard!

metalman777podcasts skeptics guide to the universe No Comments

I’ve worked about a bazillion and two hours this winter.  I mostly listen to music, but do listen to a few podcasts as well.

I have about 4 that I listen to regularly, but I’ve had a hard time finding others I like.  Last night I spent about an hour on the iTunes story looking for something new to listen to.  I thought it would be fun to post a few entries about the new podcasts I’ve found.

The first one I ran across was The Skeptic’s Guide To The Universe.

The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe is a weekly Podcast talkshow discussing the latest news and topics from the world of the paranormal, fringe science, and controversial claims from a scientific point of view.

Sounds interesting!  It isn’t a theological podcast, but one about science and medicine and topics like that.

I wasn’t immediately drawn into the conversation upon first listen.   This one will have to grow on me.  The commentators sound like they know what they are talking about, but the topics discussed just didn’t hold my attention

Ok, finally found some new podcasts.  I’ll listen to ‘em this week and let you know which ones are good!

Right off the bat, I know I’ll be addicted to Ask A Ninja and Digg Nation.  Funny stuff!
