Podcasts I listen to

When I run or in the gym I split my listening habits to music (don’t think I can share my amazon playlist….) or podcasts/ depending on my mood. In “normal” life I listen to podcasts a lot – when I’m cooking, working, driving (you get the picture).

Below is a list of podcasts I listen to. I’ve split into two categories – running/obstacle race podcasts an then everything else. I’ve then ordered them into time I have been listening – oldest first.

Running / Obstacle Racing podcasts

• World’s Toughest Podcast – the first OCR related podcast I downloaded. Based around World’s Toughest Mudder and Tough Mudder. In most recent times, the podcasts are few and far between with Will Hicks concentrating on The OCR Report. I don’t listen to this as I found it was too North American centric
• Obstacle Racing Media – Podcast around OCR and running. Entertaining and informative guests, whilst the latest edition of “Davis & Chace Discourse” is a fresh take on the news of the week
• Badboy Running – A British based running podcast which adds humour and irreverance in between (usually) interesting guests.
• OCR Disrupt – One of my favourite listens – it’s just a shame that episodes are few and far between
• OCR Audio – Another British based podcast talking about OCR and it’s not unfair to say Spartan and “elite” bias. Enjoyable to listen to with some interesting guests
• RunStrong – Running podcast by my running coach. Very informative with really interesting guests
• Obstacle Race Magazine – Very new (only on the 6th episode) brought by the guys from Obstacle Race Magazine and Mud7.
• The Running Public – New to me (2 episodes in) but seems to be interesting mostly talking about improving running for all runners – Elite to Newbie
• Obstacle Running Adventure – New to me (only 2 episodes in)
• BROCR – Only listened to 1 episode so far
• The OCR Underground – Only listened to 1 episode so far. Episodes do seem to be irregular though

All other Podcasts

• Kermode & Mayo’s film review – My first ever podcast and have listened for several years. Even if you don’t go to the cinema often (I don’t) its a great, entertaining listen
• Comedy of the Week – a different sketch every week – honestly hit or miss – but there have been some gems!
• Friday night comedy – Mostly topical panel shows like the “News Quiz”
• More or less – behind the stats – short and sweet podcast (around 20 minutes) delving deeper into finding the truth behind statistics which may have been spouted by a politician in the week’s news
• Chequered Flag Formula 1 – Usually more interesting than the F1 race themselves! Normally 4 episodes per race which includes preview and review
• This week in tech – A long podcast (around 2 hours) rounding up the tech news of the week.
• All about Android – I love and hate this podcast. For me, there is one main presenter that I really dislike. If it wasn’t for the great content, I would have removed this from my subscription list a long time ago.
• Android Central – Even though it covers 50% of the same news as AAA, the presenters seem to delve deeper into the story
• Stuff you should know – Just for interest, I don’t listen to every episode (I dont need to know everything!)
• Freakonomics Radio – Another really interesting stats podcast
• MoneyBox – Financial podcast based on topical news
• The Which money podcast – Financial podcast to help people understand their own money finances and how to improve their situation
• Off Menu – A really entertaining podcast in which guests are invited to talk about their dream meal.
• Beyond Today – A deeper delve into a daily headline of the day. In the world of “short form” its good to get a 20 minute exploration.

That’s my list – what do you listen to? Are there any in the list you like/hate? Do you have any suggested Podcasts that I should be listening to?
