Podcast Reclist!
Jan. 23rd, 2019 12:04 amTold you I would post more! I wanted to share my podcast reclist and I didn't want to postpone putting it up, because one of these has an expiration date and I hope to get more people to listen to it before it's taken offline.
When my co-workers in the office get too loud (or talk too much nonsense, oh my lord) I put on my headphones so I can focus on my job. I often listen to music, but last year I discovered a type of podcast I can listen to while I work. (I tried podfics before, but I just can't do anything else when listening to a story). Below are my recommendations of various types of postcasts: series of interviews, booktalks and a radio play (first episode available until January 30th!)
Richard Herring Leicester Square Theatre Podcast [RHLSP]
These podcast are also available on video on YouTube and are filmed in front of a live audience (Me! I was in the audience!). I've known Richard Herring since the nineties when he did a comedy Sundaymorning show on the BBC with Lee Herring. I love his humor and how chill he is with his guests. Most of them come from the UK comedy scene, (big stars like Stephen Fry or Dawn French for instance, but I also loved possibly lesser known Rose Matafeo (from New Zealand) en Nish Kumar, whom I both saw when I visited the recording of the podcast during my last visit to London;) but there was also a hilarious interview with author Jonathan Ames. There are over a hundred interviews on archive; they last about 75 minutes each. Be warned: they can be a bit raunchy, also thanks to Richard's collection of Emergency Questions, that he created to help him out when conversations falter.
PotterLess Podcast
Potterless is a podcast from 25 year old American Mike who's reading the Harry Potter books for the first time. ( Pottermore (see what I did there?) )
Stone Clearing with Richard Herring
Ahw, yes another Richard Herring beauty; a recently started podcast where he talks about Stone Clearing. As one listener put it: "Whilst listening to @Herring1967’s stone clearing podcast I can’t decide if I’m listening to his slow mental decline or his beautiful genius. Or both. [x] Episodes last from 30 - 40 minutes and start with Richard leaving his house to walk the dog (or so he tells his family. He's really on a mission to clear a nearby farmer's field of stones, but don't tell anyone, it's a secret!)
Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum
Interviews by Michael Rosenbaum with his actor friends. I mostly know Michael from CW fanfic, hehehe, nah, that's not true, I really knew him from Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane, I never watched Smallville beyond the pilot. ( Inside Rosy )
Last but not least, a recently discovered gem: a radioplay for BBC radio, written by - there he is again- Richard Herring. It's a sitcom with emotional moments about an extended family. Currently there are two seasons with 4 episodes of about 30 minutes each. The final episode of S2 will be on BBC Radio 4 this Friday. You can listen to the first season on Soundcloud: Relativity S1 and the second season is available on the BBC website: Relativity S2 (NOTE: there is an expiration date! The first episode is only available on the BBC website until January 31!)
Do you listen to podcasts? Have any recommendations? Fangirling about Harry Potter, Michael Rosenbaum or Richard Herring is also welcome :-)
