Those of you who know me know that if I were to call myself a ‘podcast enthusiast’ it would be something of an understatement.\u00a0 I have such an addiction to podcasts it’s way beyond anything healthy.\u00a0 At the time being, I am subscribed to almost 40 of ’em… and it’s not nearly<\/em> enough.<\/p>\n

As a freelance web designer I spend a large chunk of time designing to these shows and they have become an integral part of my working routine.\u00a0 Here are my 10 absolute favorites.<\/p>\n

The Rissington Podcast <\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJohn Oxton and Jon Hicks – two of the hottest names in web design –\u00a0 take questions from their listeners.\u00a0 Though the topics are not always<\/em> design related, they are always entertaining and charmingly British.<\/p>\n

The 404<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe 404 from CNET is a podcast that covers everything an immature guy like me can’t get enough of.\u00a0 From video games to pop culture to weird current events, they cover it all and are hilarious while doing it.\u00a0 And did I mention it’s daily<\/em>?!<\/p>\n

You Look Nice Today<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is the kind of show that makes you look crazy when riding the bus.\u00a0 It will cause you to burst out into hysterical laughter leaving everyone else frightened and confused.\u00a0 Listen at your own risk.<\/p>\n

Film Junk<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAs I’ve previously mentioned I’m a total movie nerd and as such listen to a plethora of movie podcasts.\u00a0 Film Junk, however, is by far my favorite.\u00a0 I’ve been listening for almost 3 years and it has never let me down.<\/p>\n

Maniacal Rage<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nManiacal Rage pure comedic gold.\u00a0 It’s a rather new discovery for me, but I’ve been quickly burning through the archives.\u00a0 Fans of quick, deadpan comedy should definitely check it out.<\/p>\n

Freelance Radio<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFreelance Radio is the podcast from one of my favorite websites; Freelance Switch<\/a>.\u00a0 It covers the ins and outs and ups and downs of the freelance lifestyle.\u00a0 I have learned a lot<\/em> from this show.<\/p>\n

Net @ Night<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLeo Laporte and Amber MacArthur spend countless hours surfing the internet just to share their discoveries with their listeners.\u00a0 A great show for anyone into web 2.0, new media and all those other fancy buzzwords.<\/p>\n

Smodcast<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSmodcast is a weekly podcast from film director Kevin Smith and producing partner Scott Mosier.\u00a0 The subject matter can get pretty inappropriate at times, but it makes me laugh.\u00a0 Definitely not for the easily offended or the high of brow.<\/p>\n

Diggnation<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI’m sure a lot of you have heard of this one, but I would be remiss not to include it in this list.\u00a0 Diggnation is a video podcast covering the popular stories that week from digg.com …usually while inebriated.<\/p>\n

This American Life<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOkay, I’m cheating a little here.\u00a0 This American Life, technically speaking, is a national public radio show that happens to podcast its episodes to the internet.\u00a0 But I’m oh so glad they do.\u00a0 Each episode picks a theme and assembles a collection of stories surrounding that theme.\u00a0 I can’t even put into words how much I love this show.\u00a0 Just check it out.<\/p>\n

Any Suggestions?<\/h4>\n

Are there any fellow podcast addicts out there care to share their<\/em> favorites?\u00a0 I’m always on the prowl for a new fix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
