This morning's commute podcast: Amy H. Sturgis on Frankenstein, including similarities to Paradise Lost. Hadn't thought of it that way.

Curious what casts you hit? For me, KCRW's Bookworm, KBOO's Between the Covers,
the New Yorker Poetry Podcast, New Books in Poetry podcast, and pretty much all of
the podcasts from Poetry magazine. My leanings are pretty clear, but I'm on the
road a good bit these days so suggestions are welcome.

Dang it, at work, without the infrastructure to grab my OPML file manually, so some highlights (that was a part of the Starship Sofa podcast)... So, running through what's currently in my podcast feed:
News & current affairs:
- http://99percentinvisible.org/
- http://www.econtalk.org/ - occasionally for a guest, I find Russ Roberts is way too quick to try to impose his own mold onto the discussion, where if he'd just let the guest talk he'd get his point made much more strongly. Or not, but the dude's not really interested in any ideas but his own.
- http://www.npr.org/sections/money/
- http://www.onthemedia.org/ - this is another one that's in my list because occasionally I'll be made aware of a segment, but I find the whole thing has radio pacing.
- http://strongtowns.org/
- http://www.theallusionist.org/ - I'm still waiting for this one to gel, right now it suffers from the "came across from radio" problem, lots of time spent on production, but pretty low content density.
- http://cbldf.podbean.com/ - This is another once in a while one, I like what the Comic Book Legal Defense fund does, but...
- http://transportini.com/ - Only one episode so far. Followed because I'm into transportation issues, and because I met Lillian Karabaic on-line via the IndieWeb projects, I'd love to see more from them but I'm guessing it's not going anywhere.
- http://winebizradio.com/ because I know at least one of them, and it's local, but I don't usually run out of other things.
Humor
Short Fiction
- http://www.drabblecast.org/
- http://escapepod.org/
- http://farfetchedfables.com/
- http://meduspod.com/
- http://podcastle.org/
- http://www.starshipsofa.com/ - yes, there's fiction, and it's often great, but J. J. Campanella and Amy H. Sturgis and other non-fiction segments here are what make this one really stand out.
- http://dunesteef.com/ - this one's kinda hit and miss. These guys are involved in all sorts of media projects, Rish Outfield's narration of Abigail Hilton's Hunter's Unlucky is amazing, this is the feed where they play with various writing and podcasting experiments, and talk about them (a lot). The other side of that is: Don't let an hour and a half podcast story turn you off, it may be 10 minutes of intro, 15 minutes of story, and then 65 minutes of them talking about the process or whatever.
- http://secretworldchronicle.com/ - this one has been highly recommended, it's in my feed, I still have'nt figured out where to dive in.
- http://planetx.libsyn.com/ - this is another one that takes risks.
- http://www.voicesbyveronica.com/ - haven't seen anything show up in the podcast for a while, but Veronica Giguere is a voice in a lot of podcasts I've enjoyed.
Music
Random/Uncategorized
Sex
Serial Fiction
- http://podiobooks.com/title/dreaming-of-deliverance/
- http://solarclipper.com/ - Horatio Alger meets clipper ships in spaaaaace!
- http://www.abigailhilton.com/ for a whole bunch of things. Right now I'm listening to Rish Outfield's amazing narration of her Hunters Unlucky, which is a kid friendly tale of the politics of anthropomorphic animals, but her Guild of the Cowry Catchers is a very adult full-cast tale that... well... if you listen to a lot of podcasts and have ever imagined gay slash between a couple luminaries... and it's also a rip-roarin' adventure tale. And her Playing For Keeps is a fun little romp through the second tier of superheroes, who don't have the powers to be part of the in-crowd good guys.
- http://shadowpublications.com/ - the tag line is "we don't believe in happy endings". I got into Paul E. Cooley's writing because of The Street, and still am not sure about how I feel about Garaga's Children, but The Black was a fun alien horror romp and I'm looking forward to its paraquels.
- http://antithesis.jdsawyer.net/ - action adventure space opera, I'm still not sure how I feel about the politics of it, but I'm enjoying the story.
- http://podiobooks.com/title/the-legion-of-nothing/ - grandchildren of superheroes.
- http://www.metamorcity.com/ - Holy crap, Chris Lester's imaginings of a world a thousand years beyond your classic D&D semi-medieval dungeon crawl mixes SF and fantasy in interesting ways. I was turned on to this by some of Nobilis Reed's transformation erotic stories set in this world, but this is political machinations and action adventure.
- http://www.murverse.com/ - Mur Lafferty shows up in various other podcasts, and her latest two projects have been The Shambling Guides, kind of a "young woman in the city" chic lit, except she ends up as the editor at a publishing house which does travel books for the supernatural, who exist all around us. Fun stuff.

Wait, did I miss Christiana Ellis's Space Casey there? That was an oversight.

I have next to zero time to listen to podcasts but the above has been very
entertaining while I've been running reports. Thanks.
