Podcasts

I know that I this type of media has been out there for awhile but I have just recently found some great podcasts that I think everyone should check out. The best thing about all these podcast is they are commercial free and are unedited. I love that these guys can talked normal and say things that they could never say on any TV or radio station.
Kevin Smith the brillant and funny writer, director, actor of such great movies (Clerks, Clerks 2, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Zac and Mira make a porno etc.) has a great podcast that he likes to call smodcast. He has a profound love for Wayne Gretzky and it routinely comes up throughout his podcast which is hilarious because he gets so worked up that he does start to cry or at least sobs. If you enjoy Kevin Smith and his really twisted sense of humor you will love his weekly podcast. To get all his smodcast please visit http://www.viewaskew.com/
Another great podcast is anything from ESPN. There are a couple of shows from ESPN radio that make daily podcasts and the one I listen too is Dave Dameshek. If you like to here a funny opinion on everything sports from NBA to Golf he pretty much covers it all. Go to http://stations.espn.go.com/stations/710espn/show?showId=damshow
Now the number one podcast that I listen to daily is Adam Carolla. You may recognize the name but not a lot of people know anything about him. He was one of the guys on the Man Show, he also did a puppet show call Crank Yankers, he also does some voice over work for Family Guy etc. I should tell you a little back story on how I fell in love with his show. As I said before I was sick of local radio and I was trying to find a funny morning shows that could help me pass the time. I found a great streaming radio player (CBS radio player) they had hundreds of stations from all over the US. I found a great morning show that was syndicated all over the west coast called the Adam Carolla Show. It was really funny. He has great stories about growing up in a poor LA neighborhood and loves to tell you about his stonier friends. He also love to complain about pretty much everything that he sees and does. I know that that doesn't seem that funny but his opinion is very close to my own. After I have been listening to him for about a month his radio show got canceled because CBS (who owned the station) wanted to play more songs.
This really pissed me off because I found a show that I actually love to listen too. After his show got canceled Adam decided that he still had thousands of fans that want to hear him so he now makes a daily podcast. Adam does the podcast everyday from his house/garage in LA and gets some big names to appear on this hour long. He always gets his guest to tell some great stories that you would never hear anywhere else. For example Seth McFarlane (the creator and voice of many characters on Family Guy) and Adam where drinking when doing the podcast and Seth, who was kinds drunk, did the Stewie voice and what would happen is Stewie played and won the Superbowl. It was funny and you would not get that from any other formant. And now has or used too have the number 1 downloaded podcast on itunes. Visit his website at http://www.adamcarolla.com/
I urge you to download these podcast on itunes or listen to them streaming on there website. You will not regret it and I am sure that you will fall in love with one of them. I also believe that this formant will kill modern FM/AM radio. You heard it here first.
