I listen to a podcast called Stuff you Missed in History Class. Its done by 2 american women. They are a bit annoying but some of the topics they cover are really interesting. They cover every aspect of history which is mostly unknown. Last night I listened to this one.

Highly recomend these. Some really really good ones. Darren O'Dea one is good - lots about the maddness in Ukraine. The Bressie one is pretty good as well - fairly emotional chat about mental health. Chris O'Dowd one is very funny too. I quite like the Radio 5 Live Film Review podcast with mark kermode. Don't always agree with his movie reviews but enoy the podcast. ------------- Team Emmet |

I listen to podcasts on my commute really passes the time well. Some of my favourites are; The comedy button - which is run by some lads that do or used to work at IGN. Might not be to everyones tastes but I find it hilarious. NFL rants and raves - Run by Steven Miranda who does the NFL reports on SSN No such thing as a fish - By the QI researchers. Is short and interesting. Freakonomics Radio - which looks at economics and research in a very interesting and easyily accessible way. 5 live world football phone in - great podcast by the bbc discussing football in South America, Europe and Africa. The football attic - a gem of a podcast although there are long gaps between them about old football, Nostalgia and things like sticker albums, kits and subutteo. ------------- Our City.

No such thing as a fish is always good. Football weekly and extra are superb. I occasionally listen to the world football phone in but they have so many irritating bastards. Just give Vickery a 45 minute show. Alan Green's world football show is actually ok, for a **** I normally want to do time for. Absolutely loved the genius of Mark Steel in town. Not sure if theyare all still available as podcasts. He does a few quality ones on history as well. The Mr Bean podcast is class too. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Best podcast I've happened upon recently is Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. The 4 parter on WWI is the most epic thing I've ever heard. Blew my mind. Other than that, it's The Guardian's Football Weekly/Extra, JRE, Duncan Trussell, TAW, The Corbett Report and Second Captains. Gave up on that Football Ramble one. The host thinks he's James Richardson and the rest try too hard to be funny. ------------- http://giant.gfycat.com/LimpLittleArabianoryx.gif |

Any one in to history should listen to Fin Dwyer's Irish History podcast. In-depth content covering the last 1500 years of our history. When you listen to it, you just have to laugh at some of the spoof we learned in school. Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is brilliant. Basically covers a topic over the course of 5 episodes. Wrath of Khan's (about Genghis Khan and the Mongols) and the WWI series are fantastic. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, The Magic Sponge is well worth listening to, especially the episodes with Graham Stack and Tony Warner, some of the stories are hilarious. Rob Beckett is one annoying c*nt though. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

I'll defo check out Hardcore Histories. Sounds very interesting. If you're in the market for lighthearted nonsense, then I can recommend Atletico Mince. The format is pretty simple,
you have Bob Mortimer (of Shooting Stars fame) and Andy Dawson talking absolute
bollox for about 40 minutes. It’s mainly a bit of sl*gging and comedy improv. There’s
a very tenuous link to football and some of the jokes don’t work but overall it
is a bit of fun. It’s switch your brain off stuff. Some of Blindboy Boatclubs Podcasts are very good too. I
really enjoyed the history of disco one where he argued credibly that its
origins were much more punk than any other form of music. His mental health
episodes are defo worth a listen also. ------------- El Puto Amo |

Just looking at my previous answers and the only one I still listen to is nfl rants and raves. I would say podcasts and the fact that I'm an old **** is now why I don't recognise any new music. I cna't remember the last time I listened to the radio. On my current rotation: I'm alive - it's like a old style radio play about zombies (overdone I know but I enjoy it and they are short episodes) The phenomenon - This is really good, very suspensful thriller about a strange attack on earht based on a badly written ebook available on amazon. The podcast is really well done. Season 2 is about to come out. The dollop - I love this, it's two lads going through funny stories in american history. The lads can get annoying but the stories are normally good. They had one where they explained about why women weren't allowed to run in long distance races until the 60's and how the organiser of one marathon though that a woman's uterus would fall out if they ran that far. The adventure zone and MBMBAM from the Mcillroy brothers. Old school wrestling review - is 3 lads from Dublin that go through and take the piss out of old wrestling from the Hulk Hogan era. ------------- Our City. Our Community. Our Club IG @flanno_7hi |

Excellent podcast. New series of Serial recently started too and is also very good. The Blindboy podcast is absolutely brilliant too. Essential listening for me at this stage. The Guardian football podcast is one of my favourites too. Thought once James Richardson left it would hit the skids but I think o actually prefer this new version. For anybody into golf I'd recommend The Cut or newstalks golf weekly pod both very good too ------------- YBIG NPF founder and CEO |

Posted By: cullenswood
Date Posted: 12 Oct 2018 at 2:07pm
I'd have a bit of an interest in that alright, but found them a bit much. He did little 10 / 15 min bits in the middle of other podcasts on that topic, and that was interesting. But 3 in a row on it I didn't like. Only half way through the McWilliams one and it is definitely back to the good stuff alright. You do have to take a lot of what he says with a pinch of salt though. A good chunk is "nearly" right, in that if you do a quick bit of research you will find he is often talking through his hole, but he is pretty funny all the same.

Podcast called 'something to wrestle with bruce prichard'. I was a big fan of wwf in the 90's and bruce prichard (brother love) was Vince McMahon right hand man for lot of it. Basically a very in depth, funny, interesting and revealing insight into wrestling. He does impressions of the likes of macho man, Vince McMahon and dusty Rhodes. They pick a subject matter for each episode formulate the general discussion, e.g. a particular wrestler (e.g. hulk hogan, ultimate warrior, owen hart).a PPV (wrestlemania IV, summerslam 94) or a historic moment (Montreal screwjob, Steroids trial). Can get very personal too when they talk about the deaths in the company. If you were a fan or wresting from the 80's til 2000ish then I'd say you'd like this

A complete idiot who has fronted his way to a career with West Ham, but his presence works on this. A pound shop Tim Lovejoy. The show reminds me of why I loved football growing up. They are all fans and love everything about it without taking it as seriously as the media do today. I have listened to it the whole way through and have loved it. There's been a few poor episodes that didn't sit right with me ( Rasputin Campbell) and a few less entertaining interviews, but overall it is my favourite podcast.

I felt that Dara Ó Brian one was one of the poorer ones. He just kept making loads of errors about the team from that time and spinning the Cascarino myth again. That one, Campbell (just because having a man on with that much blood on his hands is a bit weird) and Max Rushden talking about Cambridge United were the three I really didn't enjoy. Actually, Jon Hare from Sensible Soccer was a bit boring as well. And Clive Tyldesley, despite being an ok interview, really is an arrogant dick. Bruce's books are the best ones, but there has been some great interviews as the players from that time all had personalities. Jim Rosenthal and James Richardson ones were my favourite interviews though. Two gentlemen that we grew up with presenting sports. Rosenthal seems like a lovely man.

Bits that you look back on like 'We didn't start the fire' and Put 'em under pressure.

Long before football, it also had decent literature about it. I had also forgotten The Maccabees existed! What an odd next career step! Behind the Bastards is one I have earmarked, it's supposed to be very good. That Sweeney is an odd man, even within journalism. I have read a couple of his books and we have all seen his BBC work, but he never sits right with me. In saying that, he is oddly interesting and a conversation between him and Weiss might be entertaining. Mick Wallace's lovechild can f**k off. Second Captains and OTB still feel like Transition Year projects to me. Maybe if you have an interest in the GAA you get more out of them. If anybody has any interest in Country music, or just likes the sort of mad stories that the US can bring, Cocaine and Rhinestones is really excellent. Every episode is a documentary about a specific song, artist or story that is brilliantly researched and very entertaining. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

I'll have to give the Louis Theroux one a try. I love that guy, he's so witty and sarcastic it's great
Could never get into any other podcasts other than Joe Rogan, who just signed a $100 million contract with Spotify for, he does get some duds as guests but generally he is the best hence why Spotify paid that amount.

I listened to Simon Ferry, Kevin Kyle, Cillian Sheridan and Paul Slane on a podcast last week. Open Goal its called, Ferry presents them. For four average (at best) footballers, it was very funny. Sheridan talking about his time at Celtic. Some great stories about Thomas Gravesen |

I have tried watching some of the videos. The format is good and the people often interesting, but Ferry is very annoying. He laughs in the middle of words, I'm sure. He reminds me of that priest who drops Henry Sellers up to Craggy Island. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

I was glad they went onto Spotify Watching a podcast on YouTube is annoying, can’t even close the app to go onto something else or listen to it while you walk

Like carving imaginary headstones around Ireland for no logical reason or explanation, other than there is an actual one for four famous dead American presidents? ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

I'd imagine that's more to do with the lack of sport over the last few months. Bit of a challenge for a podcast that deals primarily in sport.

That still doesn't explain the abject stupidity and irrelevance of the name! What has Mt. Rushmore got to do with sport in Ireland? They have, one assumes, taken an idea from American sports journalism, and one that doesn't make too much sense there, where the f**king thing is, and try to shoehorn it into Ireland without thinking. ****s. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

They probably could have put a more Irish slant on it alright. The sporting 'Corrs' of each county would have been a good one to do. The three best sportspeople and then the worst from each county.

It is the problem with the lads involved in both main Irish sports podcasts. Everything seems to be taken from somewhere else, to the point where they are incapable of even renaming something. There's a dearth of creativity and innovation. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.
