Wingnut Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I've recently started listening to podcasts. Do you listen to them? What are some that you enjoy? Any and all topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I like This American Life. That's pretty much the only one I've listened to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenamarie Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 The only one I listen to regularly is The Cultural Hall. It's obviously an LDS themed podcast, but not always in a spiritual way. They interview interesting Mormon and non Mormon persons, as well as discuss incidences of mormons in the news. That sounds boring, but it's actually a really fun podcast to listen to. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamjet Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I stopped listening to non-lds podcasts because if it didn't get my blood boiling, it got me to hyped up. So here is a list of podcasts I do listen to:- Interpreter: A Journal of Mormon Scripture- BYU-Idaho Devotionals- CES Devotionals for Young Adults- The Cricket and Seagull Fireside- The Cultural Hall- Dialogue - A Journal of Mormon Thought- Engaging Gospel Doctrine- The Good Word Podcast - Interview with LDS Authors and Writers- LDS Talks - BYU Education Week (no longer updated but some good stuff nevertheless)- LDSBC Devotionals (Also no longer updated)- The Mormon Book Review- Mormon Discussion: Latter-Day Dialogue- Mormon FAIR-Cast- Mormon Matters- New BYU Speeches- Sunday School BonanzaAnd websites: BYU - Provo DevotionalsBYU - Hawaii DevotionalsBYU - Idaho DevotionalsBYU SpeechesCES DevotionalsSouthern Virginia University SpeechesMaxwell Institute MultimediaFAIR PublicationsInterpreter: A Journal of Mormon ScriptureThe Maxwell Institute BlogThere may be one or two in there that you might like.

marshac Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I listen to some of the same ones that SlamJet does- there are some excellent ones on that list- I won't name names just so that you'll have to try them all I would also check out the financial sense newshour if you enjoy market/economic commentary. Steel on steel is also good, although it's actually a radio show and not necessarily a podcast. I can't forget CarTalk either :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakumi Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 anything that doesn't have to do with My Little Pony in a podcast looses my interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I can't forget CarTalk either :)Got that one already!I have a bunch that I've subscribed to but haven't actually listened to yet. Yesterday while weeding my garden, I listened to several episodes of Lexicon Valley, which I enjoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirkwood Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I like podcasts. I spend a lot of time in my car. I have some LDS casts. Mostly I listen to Glenn Beck and what I call kook radio. I listened to Art Bell for a lot of years on the radio. Now there a numerous podcasts out there that cover the same sorts of topics and I d/l and listen to many. If that is your interest let me know and I can give you the names. I also have a huge lecture series on the Roman Empire which I have not started yet. There are also some prepper podcasts I have listened to over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) So, there are a lot of LDS-related podcasts listed here...what are some favorite "secular" ones you listen to? Like I mentioned above, I really like Lexicon Valley. I also enjoy History in Five Minutes. I listen to a few about TV shows, too.

Latter Days Guy Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I liked the Mormon potluck podcast but it kinda fizzled out. Got an LDS podcast app on my tablet that links to a load of LDS themed podcasts but not got round to listening to many of them. I do like the conversations podcasts from the Mormon channel as well.

OldPort Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Got an LDS podcast app on my tablet that links to a load of LDS themed podcasts but not got round to listening to many of them. Can you post more info on this app?I recently began a podcast called LDS Mission Matters. A new episode was posted just yesterday. ldsmissionmatters.com You can listen to it on iTunes or on the site. I am currently looking for content anyone may be interested in. Also, and Utah based folks want to be interviewed on their mission experience, let me know. At the least this is a great thing to have for posterity.I also enjoy listening to:Extreme Genes-Family History Radio-Interesting stories from family historyDan Carlin Hardcore History-Great history podcast, awesome on road trips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypg Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Someone also mentioned Mormon Matters. It is more on the liberal side of the LDS coin, but there is always something insightful that I appreciate. In terms of non-LDS, Freakanomics is a great podcast.Do you like audiobooks? If so, checkout Podiobooks.com, it's a website where authors give out free podcast versions of their novels. I love them! Actually, my favorite , Scott Sigler, has gone on to becoming a New York Times best selling author, but luckily still gives out his stuff as podcast novels. I highy recommend the site, and Scott's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
