On Podcasts
Apr. 13th, 2012 09:39 amI've only recently gotten into listening to podcasts. Yea, I could totally do it on my mp3 player or, even more easily, on my iphone. But maybe I'm old-school or something. I just listen on the computer.
I've sampled a few, but here's the three I'll be coming back to regularly:
Outer Alliance Podcast - Julia Rios interviews cool people, or presents recordings of panels. I like this for its focus on quiltbag characters/authors in sf/f.
Broad Universe Broadly Speaking - Broad Universe is about women writing sf/f. This podcast is women who write sf/f talking about sf/f! BU also has a Broadpod, which is authors doing readings. A bit like the Rapid Fire Readings if you've ever been to one of those at a con.
Galactic Suburbia - You're most likely to have heard of this one. I've only listened to a couple so far, but they all have interesting and funny things to say about sf/f and feminist things that interest me. They're also 'down under', so they talk about what's going on in the Australian and New Zealand sf/f world that otherwise I likely wouldn't hear about. They're also Hugo-nominated!
The other Hugo-nominated podcasts in this year's new category 'best fancast' are:
The Coode Street Podcast, Jonathan Strahan & Gary K. Wolfe
SF Signal Podcast, John DeNardo and JP Frantz, produced by Patrick Hester
SF Squeecast, Lynne M. Thomas, Seanan McGuire, Paul Cornell, Elizabeth Bear, and Catherynne M. Valente
StarShipSofa, Tony C. Smith
Of those, I'd probably recommend the SF Squeecast first. But I'll let you hunt down the links yourself.
Any good podcasts I'm missing out on?
