Podcasts maybe? My solo music consumption has dropped drastically in the past few months, because I've usually got a podcast going instead.
Driving in the car? Joe Rogan Experience/Kevin Smith Related podcast. Doing busy work of some kind? Dan Carlin's Hardcore History/Stuff You Should Know. Add a few game specific casts, one RPGcast, and NPR's Radiolab, and I'm up to something like ~1200 hours of podcasting listened to over the course of the year.
I've listened to so much podcasts in the last half year! Here's my list: mknod do you listen to the Cracked Podcast? It's also from Earwolf. It's very good, and not much like the site. The episodes with Jason Pargin are always where I learn a ton, like this one.
I enjoy it not because of the trivia, but because of the banter - because these are private, smart, creative people and when they start bantering it is hilarious. They have a compilation episode out with all the "unbroadcastable" bits which is just the best thing. Ehrm... Sorry. My inner fangirl got out.
I think I did listen to a few episodes of the Cracked podcast but ended up taking it off for some reason, yeah I did like it. Oh I see you are also a pocketcast user! I have bene using them for a long time mostly because I had a bug a while ago and the devs were very open to communication about it and were able to fix it.
I like 'The Knights of the Night.' They're just serious enough to make their games super enjoyable, and they take a lot of time to talk about systems and storywriting before their games, as well as a detailed post-mortem upon the conclusion of a chapter. They have a massive backlog of episodes, my favorites being their Dresden Files campaigns. Edit* Just realized you probably meant vidya rather than tabletop. Mostly it's the Trinity Force podcast for League of Legends, though at one time I was really into Painkiller already, even though I've never been deep into Call of Duty.
HI - Where CGPgrey is the old man yelling at a cloud, and Brady Haran is the 5 year old egging him on. lol. I love that podcast, and I learn an astronomical amount every time i listen to it.
Shameless plug, but check out the #tngpodcast's that steve and I put together with the help of the Hubski community.
I actually listen to a lot of podcasts, earwolf tends to have some of the best One of my favorites from last year was
http://www.earwolf.com/show/the-andy-daly-podcast-pilot-project/ I like improv4 humans, again improvised
http://www.earwolf.com/show/improv4humans/ I was there too gives a bit of inside hollywood:
http://iwastheretoo.wolfpop.com/audio/playlists/3962 Topics http://www.earwolf.com/show/topics/ is a show where Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter (The State, Stella, Michael and Michael have issues) parody podcasts like Radiolab
I really like JRE because of the variety of guests. The guy is a comedian, the podcast is really entertaining, after you get past the like 15 minutes of ads he does at the beginning(Which I don't listen to anyway). I'd also recommend Hardcore History, Dan Carlin is a monster. I finished his segment on World War I and I'm moving on to WWII and the intermediate period.
