Radical Personal Finance - a non-traditional view on the topic of personal finance, with a goal of providing listeners with the knowledge they need to build financial freedom "in 10 years or less":
Found it too easy to zone out into a biltz of phrases and names, not certain if I were truly grasping what was being said. Typically finding that a guest is trying to encapsulate something and then Melvin butts in to speed things along.
It is good though, but I find subjects I knew something about already were dealt with in a somewhat obscurantist manner that didn't really impart a high level understanding.
I've got a few I look forward to every single week (or so). I listen for pleasure and to get my mind off work. With that said, here are my favorite weekly podcasts (I've included descriptions from their website or my own if none was provided):
[0a] Giant Bombcast and [0b] Giant Beastcast (Note I'm a premium member)
The Giant Bomb staff discuss the latest video game news and new releases, taste-test questionable beverages, and get wildly off-topic in this weekly podcast.
[1] Thirty, Twenty, Ten
A pop culture time machine that examines TV, movies, music and video games from the 80s, 90s and 2000s.
[2] Retronauts
The original classic gaming podcasts continues its endless quest to explore the history of video games, one game at a time.
[3] The Talking Simpson's (Note I still love The Simpson's)
Join your friends at the Laser Time Podcast Network for a chronological and cromulent exploration of the greatest show ever made!
[4] Game Informer
No description available: Weekly podcast about video games. Professionally produced and in depth and I highly recommend listening to the episodes where they discuss the origination and founding of Funcoland/Gamestop/Game Informer and the current episode about Game Freak the developers and creators of Pokémon.)
Honorable mentions:
[5] 8-4 Play
Bi-weekly podcast about Japan video games, culture, and everything Japan that's making the news. They also run a video game translation business and have ported many popular games.
[6] Laser Time
Laser Time is a show featuring folks in the video games industry, although not necessarily about video games.
[7] Game Dev Club
The Dev Game Club looks at older games and plays through them in a form similar to a book club!
[8] Player One
Join ex-game journalists Chris Johnston (ex-EGM), Phil Theobald (ex-GameNow), Greg Sewart (ex-EGM) and their buddy Mike Phillips as they talk about console/portable/PC games, babies, and the meaning of life.
[9a] Radio Free Nintendo and [9b] Famicast
No Description Available: Podcast about all things Nintendo, old and new. It's very well done and balanced. The Famicast comes out less often and is mostly Japanese focused.
[10] Genesis Gems (I was a Nintendo kid.)
Genesis Gems is a retro gaming podcast focused on the Sega Genesis console. Family friendly, fun, and goofy!
Accidental Tech Podcast - A tech podcast with a strong focus on Apple. Commentary by Siracusa makes this one worth it.
Film Sack - Film reviews of bad, strange or unique movies. They only do movies that are currently available via streaming sites and encourage their listeners to watch the movie before the episode.
Judge John Hodgeman - Two people, usually a couple, call in to the show with a disagreement. John Hodgeman will listen to both sides and cast his judgement. Both sides agree to abide by whatever he says.
