What We're Listening To

So, now that radio has reached a new low, and I get annoyed with the constant replaying of annoying audio clips that weren't funny the first time, I've "gotten with the times" and started downloading podcasts. I've taken up the highly recommended by kyp: "Filmspotting" as well as the highly recommended by mm3 (older brother matt): "Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me"

The NPR weekly news quiz which is absolutely fantastic. It features an ever rotating panel of 3 which on occasion features former Daily Show correspondent Mo Rocca. Regardless, the show delivers pretty much none stop laughs, and a little bit of education, and keeps you up to date with what's going on in the world.... like Elliot Spitzer :P

The other major promising podcast I've been listening to is an oldie by goodie, none other than Revision3's "Diggnation". A weekly video podcast featuring Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht. The dynamic duo share their thoughts on the top stories from the week off the social news website http://www.digg.com/. But more than often we get to listen to them get side-tracked and talk about the most random things they can think of... such as being locked-IN kevin's apartment or perhaps... zombie dogs.

If you're looking for something good to listen to while driving... working... or pretty much doing anything, check out Diggnation and Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. Both are available through the itunes music store.

You can also check them out at http://www.diggnation.com/ and www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/.
