Podcasts

On Facebook yesterday, someone asked what podcasts I listen to on a regular basis. It wasn’t until then that I realized that my Link Love area was terribly outdated because I only update my podcasts in iTunes. So, I figured I’d post a list of my favs here in the order they appear in iTunes.
Francis Chan – Wicked smart pastor from California who teaches with a brutal honesty and a big smile. Infectious to watch and challenging to listen to.
Coverville – If you know me, you know I love cover tunes. Nuff said.
The Gospel Coalition – I love this sentence from their “Who Are We” page: “We want to be robustly biblical, richly theological, constantly elevating what God himself in his own Word makes central.” Yeah buddy.
In Our Time – This is a BBC broadcast on the history of ideas. Good stuff to chew on.
Mark Driscoll – Pastor from Seattle who people tend to love or hate. I love his faithfulness to the Word and his keen eye on culture.
Mashup Town – If there’s one thing I love more than cover tunes, it’s mashups.
Erwin McManus – Very artsy pastor from California. I love how he is such a great story teller.
Radioclash – Another mashup podcast, this one focusing on long 1 or 2 hour shows instead of single songs.
Rocketboom – Eclectic news and special interest stories presented in a very unique fashion.
Ted – Fascinating interviews on all kinds of different topics.
So, what am I missing? Who / what should I be listening to that I am not?

Thanks Noelatu. Finding the time to read the word was a big challenge for me this past year due to a 45 min one way commute to work which started at 5:45am AND being a first year HS teacher. Listening to podcasts during my commute next year is one way I’m planning on getting more connected with God.

I sit at a desk all day playing with Excel, so I tend to have lots of time for listening to podcasts. Here’s my list…
Tech:
Buzz Out Loud (CNET) – a daily show “of indeterminate length” covering the tech news of the day. Always funny.
this WEEK in TECH (aka tWiT) – Leo Laporte and some others do a weekly hour and a half show on tech news. I don’t enjoy it nearly as much as B.O.L., but it’s okay.
Gadgettes – another CNET podcast featuring Molly Wood, who cracks me the heck up. She’s a bit of an iPhone hater though, so beware.
Sermons:
Mark Driscoll (you said it)
Matt Chandler (if you’re missing one, this is it…Chandler is awesome)
Riv (obviously)
Sports:
The B.S. Report with Bill Simmons – Simmons mix of pop culture and sports.
Other Random Stuff:
This American Life – takes a theme each week and gets various interesting life stories of people that relate to it. Sometimes funny, sometimes very sad, often thought provoking.
The Moth – weekly podcast featuring people telling funny stories from their lives. Told live on stage without notes in NY.
By the way, the captcha text they’re making me type is “butchart infairly.” Weird.
