The Bookhouse Boys discussion

So we all obviously enjoy podcasts, but I'm sure most of us listen to other programs than just the beloved Bookhouse Boys. Always on the prowl for new and exciting audible enjoyment, I'd love to hear people share their other favorite shows.

I need an infusion of new listening material myself. I've really fallen off the podcast bandwagon lately, after about six years of consistent listening.

About the only shows I listen to with any regularity, and it probably helps that they're infrequent, are Devin's (http://scotchandcomics.wordpress.com/) and Bruce Rosenberger's KomicsKast (http://komicskast.libsyn.com/) I would imagine Bruce is not for everybody, but he's like the Bob Ross of comics podcasting for me.

I am planning to try The Spoiler Show, but I could use another show or two to try.

I listen to a bunch of very different podcasts, the list is pretty long but here are some of my favorites.

Comic Books are Burning in Hell is my go-to comics podcast these days. The hosts (Tucker Stone, Joe McCulloch, and Matt Seneca - all TCJ contributors) are great, and most of the titles they discuss are things I might read. Tucker is also guest-host on Travis Bickle on the Riviera, a movie podcast on the same site, which is pretty great.

Sinica is a podcast about current affairs in China. It's the best place to go for this sort of stuff, and while much of their contents focus on politics they also deal with other topics, including a recent roundtable on Mo Yan.


MonsterTalk is one of my favorite podcasts on skepticism and alleged supernatural phenomenon. Good hosts, great guests, and some stellar episodes. If you only listen to one, let it be the discussion of the big bad wolf with Jay M. Smith.

The H. P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast is still going strong, even though they have started charging a small subscription fee. I like their discussions of Lovecraft's contemporary weird fiction writers even more than their discussions of the man himself!

A Way With Words and Radiolab are probably well-known, but always worth plugging. Fun and educational NPR-style programming.

Good recs, Jeppe. I've never listened to anything like MonsterTalk, but I think I'll try it. And I've read some Tucker Stone, and feel we're fairly simpatico, so I'll give that one a shot too. Karma, er, thanks.

I'll have to check out that Hell podcast and maybe the monster one (logic and I don't mix all that well).
I'll soon be cluttering up the castophere with an infrequently published show called "That's Cool, That's Trash," where I'll be joined by different guests to discuss a psychotronic movie. The films will be available on YouTube, Vimeo, or elsewhere so everyone can join in the fun. The aim is to be short and fun. The pilot will be coming soon. The first film will be "The Dragon Lives Again." Look it up on Wikipedia, it sounds BANANAS!

I second Jeppe's recommendations on the CBABIH and HPPodcraft podcasts.

Here is a list of podcasts I also find enjoyable;

Your Dreams, My Nightmares Illustrators interviewing illustrators and the problems and challenges facing art today.

Trip City a large variety of comic creators, both famous and some up-n-comers interviewed by their contemporaries and admirers.

El Diabolik's World of Psychotronic Soundtracks the title really says it all

Radio Free Gunslinger is another soundtrack, of sorts. With interlude recordings of various famous authors reading excerpts of their own work and others while interspersed with an eclectic variety of jazz, pop and classical music, usually with some sort of thematic narrative.

I'd also add that I'm a major sucker for old time radio broadcasts. Anything featuring horror, The Shadow, ol' science fiction is hitting my sweet spot.

I love old radio, too. Grew up listening to cassette tapes of The Shadow. Fave horror: The Weird Circle, Lights Out, Hermit's Cave, Inner Sanctum, The Whistler.
For Saturday matinee fun, check out the corndog fun of Chandu the Magician. Great stuff.

RADIOLAB
A WAY WITH WORDS

There's a Superman one with like a billiondy episodes: http://www.botar.us/superman.xml

The 2nd episode of That's Cool, That's Trash! is available here and on iTunes. The next ep will feature our very own Dave as our first guest. (http://thatscoolthatstrashpodcast.blo...)

The third episode of That's Cool, That's Trash! now with 100% more Dave! Dave joins Joe and me to talk about the Canadian cock-rock horror mess that is Rock 'n' Roll Nightmare

Great episodes, Matt! I now want to see The Video Dead (but not so much Rock'n'Roll Nightmare).

Thanks, Jeppe. Gotta tell you, though, I think RnRN was the most fun to watch out of all of them, but that's just me.

Every episode has been a gem, Matt! A GEM!

But as far as movies, RnRN was an absolute turd of cinema. Horrible acting and the worst accent perhaps recorded, plot holes larger than my student loans, and a cohesiveness that can only rival the loosest 5-cent hookers! Granted, and I don't want to spoil things, those last 8 minutes are a hoot!
