Three of the best Podcasts you’re NOT listening to

Posted on by

Weather you are a podcast fan/listener or not, there is some great audio podcasts our there for you to listen to that you’re completely missing. I have decided to inform you about three very different podcast and why you should be listening to them.

The first one I want to mention is SciFi Dig which isn’t new by any means. I have been listening to this podcast since I first discovered podcasts, years and years ago before iTunes was a podcatcher. (Sorry if I lost you non podcast listeners, keep reading I will try and speak lay.) It’s a show about Sci Fi, Fantasy, Horror, Comics and everything in between. Hosted by Aaron Macom (@acmacom on twitter) and normally he does the podcast solo. He starts with some chatter about his life which is always entertaining then reads off the recently released DVD list, then he plays some listener content if he has it and then rolls into either a Babylon 5 in depth review or an X-Files review. I was never a B5 fan, I just missed it, yet after these reviews I HAD to watch and now I am a huge B5 fan, I love the show. What I like about SciFi Dig mostly is that it isn’t just a podcast it is a community, and not like any other out there on the internet. Diggers (Fans of the podcast) are encouraged to participate with more then simply feedback and forums and after listening you can’t help but get involved somehow. Now I warn you, this is not a short podcast, an hour would be a short episode, but I promise it is well worth it and you will find yourself pushing it to the top of your podcast cue each week.

The next podcast I’m going to list (I am going in my personal subscription order here) is The Weird Show, or TWS for short. Now some of my readers may remember that I ran a contest for this show, so obviously I am a fan. TWS is about weird stories and the thoughts and conversation it can spark. Hosted by Mark the Encaffeinated One (@encaf1 on twitter). Who has a voice anyone will love listening to anything he says, but then he makes you think and that is always a good thing in my book. TWS is a Parsec winning podcast that when hosting an informal meet up at DragonCon had the room packed.

The last, but far from least is the Parsec award winning PodioBook FETIDUS. What’s a PodioBook? Well remember books on tape? Also known as Audio Books? Well Podiobooks are just that only deliverd in podcast form, at your desired speed if downloading from Podiobooks.com or as soon as the episodes are live directly from the Author. FETIDUS not only is a a book with a captivating story but Author James Durham (@jamesdurham on twitter) adds more then just spoken word, with guest voices and a soundtrack he composed himself it a a truly immersible experience. What is FETIDUS? What does that mean? FETIDUS is the Foundation for the Ethical Treatment of the Innocently Damned, Undead and Supernatural, and it only gets better from there on. This is a world with Zombies among us in a most every day sense. Not hooked yet? Listen to the first episode, you will be as you follow the trail of mystery with Art Blanchard.

  1. Hah! Shows what you know, I’m listening to the last two, so you owe me two more missus. ;-)

  2. ooo never thought I’d be challenged like that… OK, you’re on.

    Well I think @TABZ would shoot me of I neglected to mention ABtL found at http://angelbetweenthelines.com but something tells me you are already subscribed ;)

    So I will say The Week in Whedon (Which is coming back, again, they promise) found at http://weekinwhedon.org

    And Voices: New Media Fiction, found on http://podiobooks.com a collection of previously podcasted short fiction.

    If you are already there with those then I say The Immortals, by Tracy Hickman, also available on http://podiobooks.com as my alternate (The NT Times best selling book long out of print and now released in podcast form)

  3. I still have yet to subscribe to ABTL. I know about it, but since I never watched Angel (didn’t clue in until the lasts season *sigh) I didn’t rush to listen. I should rectify that though since I voiced a part in it recently.

    V:NMF I hadn’t heard of before now, so that certainly counts and will be loaded.

    I tried listening to The Immortals but for some reason I couldn’t get into it.

    So back at you:
