Let's try something. Name your three favorite podcasts OTHER THAN YOUR OWN. Let's not try to flatter anyone or play favorites here. I want three shows that you absolutely never miss.

Here are mine, in no particular order:

One Minute How-To: I find about 75% of the episodes of this podcast to be very useful and the rest to be at least moderately useful. For a show that relies on listener participation and publishes as often as this one, that's pretty darned good.

Short Cummings Audio: Kevin cracks me up. Nuf said.

Hardcore History: My only criticism is that it only publishes once a month. By God it's worth it, though. I love history and I've learned a lot from this show.

Oh La La Franco a Go Go A Dutch show featuring 60's French music. Consistently awesome, if only monthly.

Hungbunny makes my show look positively commercial.

Do or DIY with People Like Us is admittedly a radio rebroadcast from WFMU, but always an amazing collection of plunderphonic goodness

Here's my 3,

Mustache Rangers: It grabs my warped sense of humor by the stones.

Ozone Nightmare: It reminds me of late night conversations I had working in my college library.

Squadcast: Shows have been few and far between lately, but I still clamor for more episodes.

Tag In The Seam

Twilight and Thebes

All Axis Radio



It's not easy to pick three... and they keep switching around! However, these are ones that have been in my playlist the longest and I never let a new episode hang too long w/out listening.

My list changes constantly as well.

Currently:

THE BIG SHOW

THE NOCENTS PODCAST

TRUTHSEEKERS



All three are absolutely beautiful disasters and I love them.

Interesting topic idea.

I generally listen to my podcasts on a dynamic playlist set on alphabetical order with repeat on, so by the time I make it to the "last" show alphabetically, new shows have filled in behind it. However, there are a very few choice shows that I, on occasion, have jumped to as soon as the new episode has arrived. 3 of these shows are (In no order except the order in my podcatcher, which is not in any particular order):

7th Son
Teknikal Diffikulties
The Mustache Rangers

That wasn't terribly difficult, actually. Though I don't know what I'd do if Smart Bomb Radio and Rambling Retard Rampage were still producing shows.

(edit)
Actually, those are in a particular order. The one in 6 chance of them being in Alphabetical order came up. Amusing.

I'm currently subscribed to 194 podcasts, so it's kind of hard to pick just three. Here's an attempt:

--This Week in Tech
--Love Long and Prosper
--Jawbone Radio

A lot of it is research for the Featured Podcast thingy. (Yours is one of them btw.)

Woohoo! I made the top 200 Tvindy list!

Wait ... which one of my podcasts?

It's Fighting Back. (You do know you were the Featured Podcast on July 8, right?)

Yup. I think I noticed on the 9th. Thanks!

PS - Be sure to check out Startup BizCast!

Okay, I'll give it a listen.

Comedy 4 cast, 7th Son, Twit

Tough and a bit unfair. Limiting it to three leaves out so many good podcasts

That being said....

1. GabberJaW - Still one of the best couples cast on the net
2. Barely Podcasting - Of course
3. Musicnerve - Eclectic music at its finest.

PG

Atomic Suburbia, Isrealisms, and The Unharshed Mellow

Only a couple of repeats in this thread. There are a lot of good podcasts out there!

Wow, only three eh, mmm, well

AllAxisRadio, RFL and CBC R3-30

Just from the music category.

GeeksOn
101 Uses for Baby Wipes
Dancing with Elephants

And then a whole ton of runners-up that are worth mentioning and I couldn't live without:
Redboy
Short Cummings
10th Wonder
Eclectic Review
TD Gaming
TWiT
The Onion (Audio & Video)

And my kids' favorite: Dr. Floyd (I'd still listen even if they didn't like it. Love that show.)

And in video:
Ask a Ninja (of course)

OK, that was more than 3. They're the reason I rarely watch TV or listen to the radio. Sosumi.

Just three, huh? Well...hmmmmm....I'll have to go with these:

Short Cummings Audio
The Mustache Rangers
I Should Be Writing

That's a hard one. <scratching head> Currently it would have to be Hometown Tales, Geek Acres and Atomic Suburbia. Next week it may change.

Well lets see. I'd have to break it down into audio and video


Audio

1. Air out my shorts
2. Jawbone radio
3. TWIT

Video

1. Diggnation
2. Talkin Funny
3. Galacticast

Hmm...

1. Technorama
2. 7th Son
3. Stranger Things

I normally listen to podcasts via a playlist that plays in the order episodes are downloaded. But the ones that I allow to always jump to the top of the queue regardless of when they arrive in my podcatcher are Israelisms, Croncast, and Atomic Suburbia. So I guess they are my favourites.

But I really really really really really really really really like the other 45-odd shows on my subscription list too.

Damnit, I can only narrow it down to 5 favorites, my lucky number (same reason 29 is Barely’s lucky number). Girl600 is great talk; Radio BSOTS great music; Gabber Jaw great couple talk; I always have to take my pill with Dan Klass (The Bitterest Pill); and my guilty pleasure that Wonderful World of Danny. My real number one favorite podcast is really just that next blue dot in my iTunes Podcasting Folder!

Girl600

Radio BSOTS

Gabber Jaw

The Bitterest Pill

Wonderful World of Danny

BAH HA HA! I like the idea of being somebody's "guilty pleasure".

Why thank-you, Steve! That's very kind of you -- and what a great topic!

I'd have to say:

Comedy4Cast
Eclectic Review
KidsWifeWorkLife
Decoder Ring Theater

(I canna decide, cap'n!)

I prefer to be called "Cappy".

Swingercast

Podcast411

And yours!!! You know who you are.

Thanks Keeme!

Mmmmm, guilty pleasure!

Cheating .. 2 x 3 6 of one half a dozen of the other

Audio:
The David Lawrence show
Point of Inquiry
Dan Carlin's Common sense


Video:
Galacticast
39 Second Single
Good Night Burbank
( I look forward to being killed by the Ninja soon for omitting him from the list)

Be seeing you .

I have had such a hard time with this, until I tricked myself. I let ALL my shows back up and see which shows were the first three I listened to. I couldn't just pick 3 from listening. It is way too hard, so many great ones, and I find new ones all the time that I really like, but here are my three:

The Twisted Pickle - My Podcasting Mentor
7th Son - Kick ass story, I have listened 3 times thus far
The Unreal OC - A new favorite. I wish they came out more frequently

id say my favorite 3 would be
1.) Keith and the Girl
2.) Mysterious Universe
and the harry potter geek in me says the third ones a split tie between Mugglecast and Pottercast

I can only list three? That means that when someone I know finds this post and doesn't see their name, they'll be mad that I didn't list them.

Dave and Joel's Fast Karate for the Gentleman
The Greatest Movie EVER!
Lather's Blather

The fact that these podcasts mention me on a regular basis is purely coincidental! Actually I didn't have space to list all of the shows that do that, but I figure these guys would benefit most from being plugged on a forum like this. Still, it's interesting that nothing I listen to is what anyone else here listens to.

I guess the ones I most look forward to in no particular order are:

7th Son
Are We Alone (SETI)
Spartacus Roosevelt

Cheers -

george

Nobody Likes Onions
Teknikal Diffikulties
12 Byzantine Rulers

Nowhere In Mulberry

Buzz Out Loud

Video Game Outsiders

If you asked me the same question again I could probably come up with 3 more.

I throw out a couple no one else has mentioned.

2 Guys, 1 Brain
Croncast

If Me And The Bean were still around they'd pick up the third slot, but I'll instead give props to Redboy.

Teknikal Diffikulties

7^th Son

Digital Flotsam

Mike Thinks News

Adventures in SciFi Publishing

The Sci Phi Show

It would be hard for me to choose only three, but I guess I'll have to go with:

100 Words Stories Podcast
Spartacus Roosevelt
Black Tie Martini Club

There are many more, but those are three I couldn't do without
