Title: Urgent: Need Podcasts!
Post by: dwh103 on February 17, 2013, 00:31:44 AM

I"m doing a dreadfully boring job at the moment, but at least I can listen to stuff on my phone.

Any good (and free) podcasts out there that people can recommend? Doesn"t have to be poker based!

Loads. what are you into apart from poker?

I have done a lot of the history ones (WW2, Rome and British history podcast are good).

Freakonomics is very good. If you are into sports the 5live specials may be interesting.

I do like a bit of military history, and did an economics degree - so all sound interesting. Thanks for the inspiration! Anywhere specific to find the history ones?

Cheers guys, is it obvious I"ve never listened to a podcast in my life?

Hopefully my Monday will go nice and smoothly, without me daydreaming too much as my multi-tasking is notoriously rubbish.

Obviously In The Muck (self plug!!) but I also am addicted to Joe Rogans podcast.
He is the commentator from UFC but has some interesting guests and talks about an array of ridiculous stuff. :)
