Podcast Review: Part 2

Alright… picking up where I left off… here are a few more of my favorite podcasts:

· Catalyst Podcast: Great stuff here. Every month they interview an influential church leader: Like Rick Warren, Erwin McManus and others. The interviews are well done and lots of valuable info usually is brought out. The podcast also contains other interesting segments. As I said before, this comes out on a monthly basis and episodes are usually around 40 minutes long.

· That’s What She Said – The Office Podcast: I just found this great podcast a couple of weeks ago. As many of you know, my favorite TV show right now by a landslide is The Office. Makes me laugh and then I watch it a second time and it makes me laugh even harder. This podcast is usually about an hour long and a new episode comes out whenever a new episode of ‘The Office’ airs. The two guys on this show do a great job of reviewing the episode. They play audio clips from the show, read listener questions and mail… among other cool segments. Probably my favorite podcast right now.


· WDW Today: Great podcast about Walt Disney World. It’s hosted by four guys… all with a different area of expertise. They frequently have guests and other creative elements. Having four hosts is great because the show never gets old. This postcast is published three times a week and usually runs about 20 minutes in length. They also broadcast live call in shows and trivia contests through iTunes. Great podcast if you want to learn more about Walt Disney World… or if you have a trip coming up that you’d like to get excited about!

· Theology Unplugged: This is a treasure of a podcast that I just happened to stumble upon. Three guys host this podcast: two graduates of Dallas theological seminary and a professional radio host. They have started a program for lay people to learn theology and this podcast is an offshoot of that program. They attempt to hash out theological issues…. for instance, they spent 11 episodes talking about trinitarianism and 9 episodes talking about sources for truth. They are humorous, interesting and really do a nice job of making theology accessible. Episodes come out about once a week and last for about 30 minutes.

· The ForceCast: All Star Wars all the time! Seriously. This podcast, which is put out in a joint venture between theforce.net and rebelscum.com, is released two to three times a week. They have a feature podcast, released on Fridays, that lasts a little over an hour. Then they have several ‘micro-casts’ that feature interviews, book reviews and even showcase Star Wars inspired music. Micro-casts, which are randomly and frequently released, usually range from 15 to 40 minutes. Great Star Wars content… and you never really know who may drop in for a discussion. Sometimes even Star Wars actors!

· The Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack: This was my most recent find. They broadcast one hour episodes twice a week. Two hosts talk about the TV show ‘Lost.’ They’ve got some interesting segments like: Crackpot Theory of the Week, Weekly Episode Review… and an interesting spoiler segment which features a person that gets access to the set to see various future shots that are being filmed. This one is still fairly new to me, so I can’t give a huge review… but based on the episode that I’ve heard… it looks to be a good outlet for conspiracy theories and other ‘Lost’ related news!
