Yep, it’s a /Podroll page. Like a /Blogroll, but for podcasts. Nothing more than a list of the podcasts that I like listening to and/or would recommend.
Regular Listens
Elis James & John Robins
A twice-weekly podcast from these two comedians. I’ve been listening to this for almost 10 years, since their days on Radio X/XFM (PCD and Retro-Oner!) It’s simply funny, and usually silly, but also a lovely, kind demonstration of male friendship and sometime exploration male mental health. My favourite listening.
The Infinite Monkey Cage
Hosted by Brian Cox and Robin Ince, with a host of guests from the worlds of both comedy & science., Covers topics as varied as ‘The Wonder of Trees’, ‘The Fundamentals of Reality’, and whether strawberries are truly alive. Pretty much every episode teaches me something new. From BBC Radio 4 and released serially.
Accidental Tech Podcast
Another one I’ve been listening to weekly for 10 years plus. Lot’s of Apple talk and occasional other tech stuff from Casey Liss, Marco Arment and John Siracusa. Will Marco buy another MacBook? (yes) Will Casey overengineer ways to check whether a door is open? (also yes). Will John ever buy a car that isn’t a Honda Accord? (definitely no)..
Knuckleheads with Quentin Richardson & Darius Miles
A basketball podcast from The Players Tribune hosted by two former NBA players. Excellent interviews with NBA players past and present, and general chat and shit-talking about the state of the game and whats going on in the league.
Edit: seems to be on indefinite hiatus since April 2025
Occasional Listens
The Incomparable Mothership
This one releases regularly, and is a geek-culture focused podcast, covering film, books, TV, comics and more. It’s only in the Occasioal Listen section because I tend to pick and choose episodes based on whether I’ve read the book, or seen the film being discussed etc.
The Talk Show
Apple-focused tech podcast. Another long-runner, this used to be up there in regular rotation, but has slipped down here in recent months.
Mind the Game
Another basketball podcast, this time hosted by two modern-day greats of the game, LeBron James and Steve Nash. Good interviews with top players, if a little mate-y at times.
The Comedian’s Comedian
A stand-up comedian interviews other comedians about comedy and what it’s like to be a comedian. Funnier than that sounds (it’s comedians, after all), but often more serious too.
