This series is designed as a way to call attention to things, practices, places, activities, or anything else you might not be aware of that I think are worth checking out. I try to cover as wide a variety of topics as I can.
This week is all about podcasts. I listen to over twenty pods on a regular basis, mostly while I’m at work.
The flagship podcast on Kevin Smith’s ever growing podcast network, Smodcast is one of the best. It consists almost exclusively of Smith and his long-time friend and producing partner Scott Mosier having a conversation about whatever happens to cross their minds. No topic is out of bounds, and even the most benign thought quickly turns hilarious, with stories of their careers, lives, or made up scenarios. R rated through and through, but it’s infinitely entertaining.
This weekly series features interviews with various television and film writers on breaking into the film industry, the writing process, and tons of fascinating anecdotes. If you’re at all interested in writing, or even just want a little more info on how your favourite shows are made, you’ll find a lot to like here.
This podcast focuses on film, television, toys, games, anything at all geek related. It’s hosted by a group of friends including voice actors, video game designers, film editors, and other entertainment professionals. Each episode starts with a rundown of geek related news, and then spends the majority of its time dissecting a topic relevant to geeks – everything from movie reboots to artificial intelligence and self identity. It’s an entertaining and enlightening podcast.
There are plenty of others which I’ll get in coming weeks. Let me know if you listen to any of these, and if there are any others I should check out.
Sleep well,
DTE
