Recommend a Podcast

[Setenza]

I have a 70 minute train journey (twice a day) so I use my phone to listen to a lot of Podcasts.

These include The Now Show, Russell Brand, Russell Howard & John Richardson and Mark Kermode.

All are very good and all are very BBC.

Can anyone recommend some others. The only stipulations are they must be free and they must be available WITHOUT the use of I-Tunes. I will not have that software on my laptop.

I like comedy, film and entertainment, but will happily consider more cerebral material

I know of a few, but as you stipulate no itunes and must be free, im not sure that my choices are so wont recomend them

XOD, are you using the Nokia Podcasting client?

Virgin Radio used to have a few decent one you could download direct or through the nokia podcasting client. Al Murray's sunday show used to be a regular one i downloaded.

If your looking for entertainment on you N95 while commuting have you tried the Nokia audiobook player?

The Adam & Joe Xfm Podcasts
www.xfm.co.uk/sectional.asp?id=8850
- they're all from 2006, still downloadable

I would recommend the Gervais/Merchant/Pilkington podcasts that were free in association with Guardian Unlimited, but they're no longer legally available for free, however they do have their 'free and occasional podcast from Ricky Gervais, featuring Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington.' (http://podcast.rickygervais.com/podcast.xml)

Other stuff ...
BBC podcasts: Broadcasting House, The Daily Mayo, Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's Film reviews, From Our Own Correspondent, John Pienaar's Political Review, Sportsweek

Half the reason i upgraded to Vista 64-Bit, just in case one of the kids tries to do a "sneaky" iTunes install.

It won't run on Vista 64

I have all the the Gervais podcasts from 2005-6. They are superb and of course, aquainted us with Karl "I could eat a knob at night" Pilkington.

I use the BBC alot for downloads. I was hoping that there may be some other free alternatives.

Sorry, but after helping my son out with I-tunes, I'd never have it on my PC. Frankly the best software for administering and downloading MP3 was "AllTunes" from the now defunct "AllofMP3.com"

I haven't used any of the propriety software for Podcasts on the N95. Again, because I have to be budget conscious, I'm reticent about using any service that may incur charges.

The Collings and Herrin podcast with Andrew Collins and Richard Herring
- www.comedy.org.uk/podcasts/collingsherrin

Welcome to the Andrew Collings (Andrew Collins) and Richard Herrin (Richard Herring) podcasts in which we deliver our own sideways look at the news. Our fervent wish is to recreate our now legendary news reviews from Andrew's now-defunct BBC 6 Music show, except without the indie records interrupting us, and without the need to temper the content for fear of offending a Sunday afternoon radio audience.

its been going for 18 episodes/weeks now (old eps still downloable), reasonably amusing

Not a podcast but a great resource for plays, comedy series etc. I download a lot to listen to in the car, all recorded from radio.

Need to join to download, but it's only your standard forum signup.

For comedy I will happily send you some great series I've downloaded or see if you can find them for download.
