We’re Alive features chapters packing performances and sound effects that rival movies and prove that modern audio drama is undead and well. Join our survivors as they band together, struggle to fortify a safe haven known as the Tower, and discovers that zombies are far from the worst thing in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles where the rules of human decency no longer apply.

[LaNaranja]

The Laser Time network of podcasts are all absolutely fantastic. They cover a wide variety of topics and are all incredibly entertaining and hilarious. The Laser Time network is almost entirely comprised of people who have been shit canned from Future Inc., whether that be GamesRadar, PTOM, or OXM. The actual Laser Time website also has tons of entertaining videos and articles such as this one of adult jokes in kids cartoons.

ITunes Synopsis:

Laser Time is a show featuring folks in the video games industry, although not necessarily about video games. It’s a hyper-silly, multimedia-infused look at film, TV, comics, music, pop culture, and nostalgia from the perspective of people who game for a living. Obviously, their opinions are their own and do not reflect that of their employers.

Cape Crisis

Genre: Comics
Start from: Episode 12

We fashioned our undying love for sequential art into a white hot star of a podcast! Listen as we explore the latest news and most important topics in the world of comics, heroic and beyond.

Vidjagame Apocalypse

Genre: Video games
Start from: Most recent
Why start from there?: It is Mikel Reparaz back hosting a video game podcast after getting shit canned from GamesRadar! This is pretty much the return of TalkRadar and it is pretty damn great. And he is joined by the wonderful Anne Lewis, of former PlayStation Magazine fame and now working at the Ubisoft Blog.
iTunes Synopsis:

Videogame-industry veterans Mikel Reparaz and Anne Lewis rally their colleagues for weekly discussions about games, the industry, and the circus of egos and information that surrounds it all.

VGMpire

Start from: Whichever one has a game you enjoy.
Why start from there?: Each episode deals with music from a different game. Pick the episode that focuses on a game you like and enjoy!
iTunes Synopsis:

Join us each week as we celebrate the auditory glory that is video game music. From 8-bit to modern, we love it all.

Cheap Popcast

Genre: Wrestling
Start from: Any
Why start from there?: It is about wrestling, so if that is your thing you will probably want to listen to all of them. Or if you think wrestling is a stupid waste of time like me you will still enjoy listening to these guys talk about the ridiculousness that is the past and present of wrestling.
iTunes Synopsis:

Bringing you the best of Pro Wrestling’s past and present comes Cheap Popcast! Join us as we share our favorite memories of the WWF and WCW’s 80s and 90s heydays, while also looking towards each month’s biggest WWE pay-per-view matches.

John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman, the transatlantic region’s leading bi-continental satirical double-act, leave no hot potato unbuttered in their worldwide-hit weekly topical comedy show.

The Technical Difficulties
Genre: Comedy/Trivia
Start From: Anywhere

Doesn't seem to have an iTunes description, so I'll just transcribe the intro to each episode:

The way the show works is very simple. In front of me I have a classic deck of trivia question cards, and when I say classic I mean they're from 1984. I'm gonna read out some answers and whoever gets closest to the question gets a point

No Such Thing As A Fish

[GRW810]

We're Alive
Genre: Zombie fiction

[TheBear]

Checking out We're Alive and Cheap Popcast, thanks for the heads up

 

[Shiny Llama]

Harmontown
Genre: Comedy/Confessional
Start From: Debatable. I'd say start from episode one, but others would probably give you highlights. Try this one to see if it's your kinda thing.

Self destructive writer Dan Harmon ("Community," "Monster House," "Heat Vision and Jack") claims he will one day found a colony of like-minded misfits.

[hardcastlemccormick]

The Comedy Button
Genre: Comedy
Start from: episode 1, one of the best-of episodes, or the Home Alone 2 commentary.

I'm writing my own synopsis, fuck iTunes. Veterans of podcasting Ryan and Anthony (from GFW Radio) hold back the comedy stylings of the formidable Brian Altano, Scott Bromley and Max Scoville as they babble about their recent travels and adventures, belittle their audience, and rant about Werther's Originals candy. Lewd, filthy and hilarious. Mostly conversational, so none of this highly choreographed comedy bullshit on other podcasts.

 

[DoubleD]

Thanks for the suggestions. OP thanks for the suggestion for Serial. Just finished episode 3. Totally in to the story.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Mysterious Universe
Genre: Paranormal
Start from: Current (but the Archives are fascinating as well)

Sick and Wrong is your hearing aid into the dark, depraved, and dripping abscess that is contemporary existence.

In their critically acclaimed weekly podcast, award-winning broadcasters Dee Simon and Lance Wackerle discuss the most vile, disquieting, and oddly amusing news items for your listening pleasure.

the description is sarcastic and poking fun at other pretentious podcast. They are really funny and every week you get to hear a bunch of fuck up stories. They also do really out there interview with porn star and what not.

The Thrilling Adventure Hour
Genre: Radio Drama
Start from: Beginning or Current

I started listening to TAH when I was playing a ton of Destiny (amazing podcast game). I very quickly became enamored with the Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars segments. I think I've now listened to the entirety of that series twice now. I really enjoy the fairly extensive continuity and the performances are just hysterical. The main cast is great (Croach is the beeest) and recurring guest stars like Nathan Fillion as Cactoid Jim and Paul F Tompkins as the Jupiter Spy are excellent. Would definitely recommend checking it out.

I've tried listening to a few of the other segments, but none of them grabbed me like Sparks Nevada. Beyond Belief is entertaining enough, but doesn't have that same dramatic pull for me.

Welcome to Night Vale
Genre: Absurdist Horror Comedy
Start from: Beginning

I've also listened to the first two episodes of Nightvale and I'm really not sure what to make of it. The music and narration are good, but I'm sure if I'm enthralled this kind free form weirdness without much structure. Not sure if that's how it continues on.

The show has been mention in the Huffington Post. Besides consistently being the number one comedy podcast on Podomatic.com

 

[Apt101]

Skeptoid is OK, though the host, Brian Dunning, has had some questionable wire fraud issues in the past and asks for money a lot. He puts together a decent podcast though.

The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe is titanic.

The Dead Authors Podcast has moments of brilliance and can be really entertaining, but every now and then they upload a show with horrendous audio quality that is damn near unlistenable.

Although I disagree with almost everything that comes out of his mouth, Adam Corolla is a funny guy and gets a lot of big names on.

The Nerdist podcast gets all the big names. The host, Hardwick, seems like a genuine fellow. A bit corny but it's hard not to like him.

Comedian and actor Gilbert Gottfried, a man Stephen King once called "a national treasure," sits down in his own New York City apartment (you expected him to leave the couch?) with the Hollywood legends and behind-the-scenes talents who shaped his childhood and influenced his comedy. Joined by co-host and fellow showbiz fanatic Frank Santopadre, Gilbert talks to comics, singers, voice artists, talk show hosts, writers, musicians, show runners and other eyewitnesses to Hollywood history, including Paul Shaffer, Marty Allen, Dick Cavett, Billy West, "Godfather" actor Gianni Russo, Joe Franklin, Sara Karloff, illustrator/cartoonist Drew Friedman and many more, as they share their memories of show business then and now (but mostly then).

This podcast is really focused on old Hollywood as well as many in the comedy business. You may not know that Gilbert is an aficionado of old films and some of the actors and stories within the podcasts are eye opening and hilarious.

America through the eyes of two American-Americans.
Seth Romatelli and Jonathan Larroquette are the guys behind one of the original comedy podcasts, Uhh Yeah Dude.

Genre : Comedy

Seriously this is probably the best podcast I have the pleasure of listening to. It reminds me of a mixture of GFW radio minus the video game talk and This American Life.

I always urge people to listen.

Cox n' Crendor Show
Genre: Comedy
Start from: Beginning (Beta Episode 1)

The highest quality non-content 30 minute morning show on the internet in podcast form. Hosted by Jesse Cox and Eric "Crendor" Hraab. Featuring daily news, sports, weather, and commentary.

Even if you don't watch them on Youtube it's still hilarious, each episode is 30 minutes long and is good for work commutes and stuff. Start from beginning so you get the running jokes/references.

Sorry for reviving a somewhat old thread, but can anyone recommend a podcast that deals with current affairs?
Something with a focus on Europe would be preferable, but a American viewpoint wouldnt hurt either

BBC has an hourly world news podcast.

BBC has an hourly world news podcast.

And how is it?

Should I expect just a dose of news or is done well and/or entertaining?

Basically, what I think Im looking for is the Giant Bombcast of world events, but I realise thats asking a lot.

The Laser Time network of podcasts are all absolutely fantastic. They cover a wide variety of topics and are all incredibly entertaining and hilarious. The Laser Time network is almost entirely comprised of people who have been shit canned from Future Inc., whether that be GamesRadar, PTOM, or OXM. The actual Laser Time

Thanks for introducing me to Laser Time. I am really enjoying listening to these guys. My only problem is that their RSS feed doesn't list all the episodes so I had to go to their website and manually download them.
