I listened to the end of the same podcast the next day, only to hear them giving tips on how to cope with such public mirth situations, which was frankly a bit late.

Richard Herring has a new comedy podcast, "As it occurs to me". I haven't heard it yet but it's supposed to be more comedic and less random than the Collings and Herrin podcast. I'm mainly posting this to make me remember to subscribe to it when I get home. |

I'm enjoying aye-eye-ottumah as Mr Herring seems to insist on calling it. I think it's a really interesting model for producing a show - I hope it does really well, but I gather he's having trouble getting enough of an audience for the live show to make it worthwhile, which is a bit of a shame. It'd be good to see this sort of thing flourish as an alternative to the traditional radio model of comedy shows. I just hope he's got the stamina and finances to keep it up for the ten weeks he promised... |

Hey I do a podcast now! I'm not entirely sure I'd recommend it though. It's usually about games and films. And some other waffle as well. I think part 2 of the most recent one is about the best we've done so if you listen to that and don't like it then we're probably not worth bothering with. Other podcasts that are quite good: Skeptic's Guide to the Universe - http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ Skeptoid as well. |

I'm getting more into podcasts now. It used to just be Gervais. Then I added Football Weekly. Now I listen to The Whistleblowers (Mark Webster's footy podcast), Footballistically Arsenal (I'm not an Arsenal fan, but I find them interesting, and it's from the same lot as Whistleblowers), WTF with Marc Maron (comedian. I first got into him recently, when he got a really good interview out of Andrew 'Dice' Clay, and he is generally good). |

Answer Me This is roughly my favourite podcast in podcastland. It's not always laugh-out-loud funny but it's such a nice way to pass half an hour a week, like hanging out with a small group of bright, witty people that you really like. Most of the other stuff I listen to is connected to my weird niche-y interests like boardgaming and Yankee Helmetball so I'd hesitate to recommend them to most people. Other folk have mentioned This American Life, the Grauniad Football Weekly and the Skeptic's Guide, anyway. |

If you can, listen to "This American Life" episode #323 called "The Super". There's an absolutely amazing couple of stories on there, which I really enjoyed. The first of which begins in New York in the 1980s, the second begins with a chat at a petrol station. |

I haven't got iTunes. I have got a PC and an Android phone. I wonder what people in my position do podcast wise? Are we supposed to download them for listening later or do people stream? What software do people use? I installed Google Listen but it doesn't really seem to do anything. It's all very confusing. I'm still not sure whether it's just mp3s of people talking or what. What's the difference between listening to something radioish on BBC iplayer and listening to a podcast of the same? |

In the dim and distant past i used Juice (http://juicereceiver.sourceforge.net/index.php) , however when i got an ipod I gave up and moved over to Itunes. Streaming vs downloading really depends where your going to listen , I do most of my podcast listening in the car so i may not have a good enough internet signal to stream. The other disadvantage of just relying on iplayer is that they do not keep things up 'forever' so if you stumble across something you really like you would typically only get the last few (whereas with podcasts you can generally go back years or to the very start) |

Comedy of the week from the Beeb. Just the other week they had this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rl708. Mark Thomas; I don't love everything he does, but my, that is one powerful hour. Better not to know much about it, I think - don't read the description on the site, just listen to it. If you've hated what he has done before I think it's worth a go - this is not a political or grand shaming type of deal. |

I just finished Serial - http://serialpodcast.org/ Investigate journalist looks into a cold case from 15 years ago and the detail surrounding the case is like something out of CSI only even more convoluted and without a magic maguffin to tie everything up neatly. Appeal is still ongoing but it's quite reminiscent of the West Memphis Three with a lot of the case resting on a perception of the accused rather than actual facts. 13 episodes and well worth a listen. |

Ditto. The 'follow up' (by different people - an interested group of lawyers) Undisclosed: The state vs Adnan Syed is much less storified and is more dry, but is probably excellent if you're really really into the legalities of it all. |

Usually has a comedian co-hosting and frequently has great guests. No Such Thing As A Fish.

Jim Al Khalili talks to eminent scientists. Kermode and Mayo's Film Review. This is the podcast of their Friday afternoon Radio 5 live show. The Empire Podcast. Films, film news, reviews, guests, every Friday. Richard Herring is back at the Leicester Sq theatre doing podcasts again. If you like Herring you should like this. |

Whilst the show's 'everything-but-Frasier' chat can be grating at times (I find myself skipping bits), I'm still enjoying this. It's kind of like having friends round to watch a TV programme and you spend the time talking about everything but the action. One for whiling away empty hours. However, the most recent, episode 13, has a two-hour conversation with Peri Gilpin. No ground-breaking revelations, but wonderful to listen to her voice. |

Although it started in 2010 I've just started listening to The Rex Factor. It's a humorous romp through all the English (series 1) and Scottish (series 2) monarchs scoring them, Top Trump-style, on key factors like 'battleliness', 'scandal', and 'subjectivity' (would you want to have been their subject?), before a decision on whether they held the elusive 'Rex Factor'. Only heard the introductory episode and the first proper podcast on Alfred the Great but already I'm hooked - people talking and joking about history always appeals, even if the sound quality is a bit poor. Only another 50 or so to get through to Liz the Second. |
