Podcasts That Don’t Suck.

by Kevin on November 5, 2009 · 1 comment

I happen to listen to a few totally awesome podcasts that you should listen to also. Podcasts are usually free, and they’re a great way to waste commute time or to piss off people that are trying to talk to you while you walk down the hallway at your job where you don’t really even give a shit. Some of them teach you how to do things, make you laugh, or bring you news. Most of them are total shit and tell you about stuff that you will never care about. Luckily for you, I’ve sifted through all the bullshit to bring you the best podcasts out there.

Nobody Likes Onions

I’ve been listening to Nobody Likes Onions since damn near the first show. It might have been the 15th show, or something like that. It is the work of professional stand-up comedian and tech mastermind, Patrick Melton, who does a fuckload of stuff for the show. He created and runs the website, hosts and records the show, runs the store, bangs hot chicks across the country, and is one of the funniest assholes with an iPhone, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Another stand-up comedian, Johnny B, is one of the most frequent cohosts. His cock mold came out wrong, so he had to do it again (they auctioned off cock molds for a fund-raiser).

Most of the show is spent making fun of guests, fans, and idiots in the news. Many of the shows are live, during which Patrick and the cohosts take phone calls and usually hang up on the stupid assholes that don’t fucking know how to use Skype to save their own piece of shit lives. I don’t really feel like writing out all that is hilarious about NLO, so read their wiki if you think this would remotely appeal to you.

Hospital Records

If you don’t like drum and bass, you might as well just skip this one over. If you have an open mind, you might just fall in love. The Hospital Records podcast has a very basic formula: play music. It is most commonly hosted by London Elektricity, but other DJs frequently join the show as well. The music spans the different types of drum and bass and you are guaranteed to find a few massive tracks that you not only love, but have never heard before, during each podcast. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended. Do not miss.

No Agenda

No Agenda is not for the fans of Fox “News”. It is a no-bullshit news show with, as they say, no agenda. The show is paid for by the fans, and is not financially backed by any healthcare or oil companies. It is hosted by Adam Curry (well-known for being an MTV VJ back in the day) and John C. Dvorak (old school techno-geek known for hating the Macintosh mouse, even though he doesn’t).

The angle that this unconventional couple covers on the show is rarely, if at all, covered on big news. While you may not agree with all these guys discuss, it makes for some very interesting listening and encourages free thought.
