Seems hard to recall a time when I didn’t like podcasts, especially when there are shows like Unwell to keep me happily occupied. When I first started trying to listen to podcasts, I had a hard time finding shows that made it worth struggling through my audio-processing issues. Now, frankly, I’m drowning in them! And more keep coming out every…

After my podcast resolution two years ago, I have to admit two things. One, despite all my original doubts, I am hooked on this form of entertainment. And two, I am very picky. I’ve tried a bunch and stuck with only a few, which often leaves me wanting to listen to podcasts and not having anything to try. I’m always…

The rules for last year’s podcast resolution said that I needed to sample at least one episode per podcast, ideally five episodes, before deciding to continue on or not. I had such good luck of late in finding podcasts that really work for me that I haven’t had to mention the ones I bounced off of. But in the end,…

It’s December so here’s my random gift for you. A two-fer podcast review, both of which are podcasts I highly recommend. Seriously, go listen to them! Let’s start with The Message.

So let’s talk about Mabel. I stumbled over this one because the hosts of The Bridge mentioned it in their lists of podcasts to check out. When I looked it up—a podcast simply named Mabel, what is that about?—I liked the woodcut-looking rabbit… Yeah, I’m shallow. It was enough to make me sample Mabel.

My podcast resolution rules as they stand now: I will listen to twelve spec-fic oriented podcasts, one per month. For each podcast, I will listen to a minimum of five episodes per podcast before I either give up or add it to my entertainment cycle. Though originally I swore to give each podcast five episodes, I am not going to…

Another week, another podcast. I am definitely doing more than my resolution rules. Go me? The rules as I laid them out originally for 2018: I will listen to twelve spec fic-oriented podcasts, one per month. Done that! As of this point I have listened to or sampled The Bright Sessions, Lauren Proves Magic is Real, Steal the Stars, The…

If you want a reminder of my rules for this 2018 Resolution, here they are. So I got excited about podcasts after Limetown, and sailed into The Bridge with cautious optimism. I loved the premise and thought why not? I loaded up several CDs worth of episodes (do not get me started on my iTunes shenanigans with the podcasts or…

I get it!!! I finally get it! I have fallen for podcasting. Which is good because I still have six months to go in my 2018 resolution. The rules as they stand now. I will listen to twelve spec-fic oriented podcasts, one per month. For each podcast, I will listen to a minimum of five episodes per podcast before I…

After last year’s successful resolution, I decided to dip my toes into a new-to-me spec-fic area — podcasts. The rules as I laid them out originally for 2018: I will listen to twelve spec-fic oriented podcasts, one per month. For each podcast, I will listen to a minimum of five episodes per podcast before I either give up or add…
