    If you are into that I would really recommend. I cherry picked podcasts I was interested in/knew a little about to see if I liked it. Now I am going from the start.

    One of my favourites is Jennifer Pan - give that one a go Ian, but do yourself a favour and don't look up anything about the cases before you listen to them.

    Guess that’s next for me then. I am on the Russell Street Bombings right now.

    I really enjoyed the Silk Road series as I knew very little about it.

    Team 33 is a decent soccer and worth a listen. It's part of the Off the Ball setup but had different presenters and does a few more interesting feature type shows rather than current news or match reports.

    So am I just starting from the beginning or trying that one first as a good indicator of whether it's for me or not?

    I would try that one first. You can watch them in any order, and the first few aren't as good in my opinion.

    I am only 20 in but I am liking it so far. He is actually quite funny.

    I've got to the point where I can't stand listening to football podcasts anymore.

    'Team A are great, aren't they? And Team B are really bad. It's all thanks to Player C. Manager D has to go.'

    Two weeks later, the same 'pundits'.

    'Team A are awful and have been all season, but how about Team B? They'll win the title. Player C has had a shocker, he can't cut it at this level. Manager D has done a brilliant job.'

    absolutely, i used to listen to football weekly, football weekly extra, football ramble and the football ramble preview almost every week, as well as world football phone in. i don't think i've listened to one through choice for about 2 years.

    in fairness though i mostly listened to them when i was unemployed or "working from home", and i think just listening to people jovially chatting was a way to combat my insanity and loneliness - at the peak of my footy podcast habits i rarely watched anything but match of the day and west brom games.

    You have to be using the word 'read' in the loosest possible sense there.

    Podcasts in general are brilliant (although I've never got into this 'true crime' stuff that seems to be at the vanguard of the genre). I listen to too few if anything because my commute in the car is too short.

    They're not for me either. Tried a few but just don't be interested.

    I've now ploughed through the Hardcore History series on WW1 and Persia, both very good if somewhat long winded in places.

    His 'short' (just 5 or 6 hours) one shot episodes on nuclear weapons and public executions are also worth a go.

    (not) Interestingly, Hardcore History is just about the only podcast series I can remember not getting into. I even got a bit of joy out of the fucking abysmal Times footy one for a bit. I think being too cheap to pay for them and having to faff around on soulseek downloading the episodes and putting them on my crap old mp3 player soured me from the start. Also I was doing the weirdest temp job going through ancient personnel files in a virtually abandoned section of a big industrial site with this fit 20 year old and it was more fun to piss about and flirt with her than listen to some history NERD on my headphones.

    I wouldn't blame you, it can be quite dry at times and (as he is at pains to point out) he's not a historian so he doesn't tend to draw any conclusions. I'm lucky in that most of the recent episodes have been on things I'm already interested in which has to help.

    The Tony Dorigo episode on Quickly Kevin was good, even though the man in question was almost entirely before my time. Are the earlier seasons of a similar quality?

    I like the Sam Harris podcast, but he can be an absolute prick at times. Anyone following the latest furore?

    @Ian That was a great episode I would seriously recommend it was one to get into the series

    Dorigo was a lot funnier than I imagined he would be. I really enjoyed it. I would recommend going back to earlier seasons. The ones where they watch various documentaries, or spend an hour tearing Steve Bruce's books apart have been highlights for me.

    About halfway through the Jennifer Pan casefile episode and quite liking it. I thought the narrator's voice was going to annoy me but I like that he's quite understated.

    One of the things I love about Casefile is that the narrator doesn't offer opinions or theories - he just reports the facts.

    I'll give that one a go tonight. I listened to the first episode and couldn't get past the narrator's voice, I had to make an effort to understand what he was saying which I couldn't be bothered with.

    I've seen a few tweets pop up and then get deleted a few minutes later but these ones have stayed up a while. The war continues. Everyone comes out of it looking very mature:

    New York Times have started a podcast about the inner workings of ISIS. The episodes released so far have nibbled around the edges and I'm not sure about the structure of certain pieces within it, but it's engaging enough and if it does what it's setting out to do it'll be required listening by the end.

    It's called 'Caliphate'. There are three episodes out so far but the first is just a preview of sorts, featuring an ISIS man speaking disconcertingly frankly about what he got up to.

    On the first (proper) episode. Interesting shit, but the American bloke she keeps chatting to is annoying to the point that he may ruin it for me. Hopefully he fucks off and she goes it alone.

    It’s dangerous. We get it. Calm down, Captain America.

    The idea of looking at the Isis side of Instagram/Twitter and online chat rooms is fascinating, but a) how do you find these places? and b) I don’t need Mi5 checking me out.

    For the ones that like the crime stuff, the Mrs has been listening to one called West Cork and says it's brilliant. It covers the story of the death of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.

    Only problem is that it's on Audible.

    I’d go from the start, but I particularly enjoyed the East Area Rapist one (especially now it’s got a conclusion), Jones Town and The Silk Road.

    The production values are a bit crap on the first few, but they're still good. There aren't many bad episodes at all - when I started, I just picked ones based on their length and how long I had to listen.

    I was in need of an American Sports podcast and Chapo had on some sports guy they referred to only as PFT. He was mildly entertaining so I thought I'd check it out and downloaded a couple of episodes of 'Pardon My Take' and it's very good.

    There's a few here listen to Second Captains still I think. They're doing their usual weekend show for the summer on RTÉ Radio 1 so search Second Captains Saturday for the feed as it doesn't show up on the normal one.

    Actually managed to get SC tickets today for the premier league preview thing in the Liberty Hall, free and all. They're usually near impossible to pick up.

    The Mrs is going to have to go with me, she'll be delighted
