<p>What?! Nobody listens to Chicago's own Pie Factory Podcast?! I'm hurt. *sniff* :) (Did I mention I co-host that one? :) ) It's a biweekly podcast about retro arcade video games. Jim and I discuss two games, our memories, strategies, etc., and in the end we reveal the theme that the two games have in common. For example, our first episode discussed Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong 3, and the theme was games in which Donkey Kong was the antagonist. (Sometimes we get more obscure -- for one…</p>

<p>My favorite podcasts:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fab4free4all.com" target="_blank">Fab 4 Free 4 All</a> -- a great Beatles podcast that's even fun to listen to when the topic isn't of interest</p>
<p>Serial -- because Serial</p>
<p><a href="http://undisclosed-podcast.com/" target="_blank">Undisclosed</a> -- because Serial</p>
<p><a href="http://2600gamebygamepodcast.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Atari 2600 Game By Game Podcast</a> -- because I'm a retro gaming nerd</p>
<p><a href="http://atari7800gamebygamepodcast.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Atari 7800 Game By Game Podcast</a> -- again, the nerd thing</p>
<p></p>
<p>And like many people here, I listen to Wait Wait! Don't Tell Me! and its sister podcast How To Do Everything. Used to listen to <em>2600</em>'s <a href="http://2600.com/offthehook/" target="_blank">Off The Hook</a> (actually a weekly radio show but available in podcast form) but I kind of grew weary of it.

<p>Cool topic. I'm a total podcast newb. Just subscribed to that 99% Invisible.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I think I must be the only person in this country who can't stand Ira Glass and This American Life and therefore, hated Serial in so many ways, even though I stuck with it until the dreary end. </p>
<p></p>
<p>I'm really surprised Harry Shearer's "LeShow" isn't listed. I never miss that one.</p>

Always makes me chuckle</p>
<p>Also, I think I am the only person who doesn't like Maron or Dan Carlin. Everyone else seems to be super into them but I get so bored. </p>

<p><strong>The Great War</strong> is more of a Youtube Series that, week by week covers WWI and what happened 100 years ago that week. An episode a week for the next couple years. I'm juuuuust about caught up at the moment and I'll bee current (+100 years)</p>

<p>Political Gabfest</p>
<p>Freakonomics</p>
<p>99% Invisible</p>
<p>Criminal</p>

<p>I also have a hardcore obsession with the NFL, so I can recommend NFL specific podcasts to anyone who who wants to listen to jocks talking about jock stuff.</p>

<p>NPR shows as podcasts:</p>
<p>Intelligence squared debates</p>
