ml1dch Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Had an email read out on the Football Ramble today. Straight on my list of achievements, just above "once holding a door open for a Chuckle Brother" and below "once doing an opening DJ set for The Cheeky Girls" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straggler Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I have a bunch I listen to on the regular, a combination of comedy, geek and a bit of news. In no particular order Mission to Zyxx - An improvised comedy space epic. Hello from the Magic Tavern - An improvised comedy set in a magical world sort of like middle earth combined with Narnia. These both sound lame writing the description but they are both really funny. The infinite monkey cage - BBC science pod hosted by Prof Brian Cox with guests geeking out over cool science stuff. I love it. The Sin cast hosted by cinema sins. The guy behind the YouTube sensation cinema sins chat about all things movie. No such thing as a fish - the qi elves make funny about their fav fact of the week. Bag Man by Rachel Maddow is great for American History fans, telling the story behind the Nixon impeachment. Fascinating stuff. Apologies if there is some repetition that others have already recommended, but I only want to add to the enthusiasm. I'm sure I have others but I forget them right now.

Your Angel one was one of the better ones. I got it with a couple to go IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted February 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2020 Chasing Cosby is shaping up pretty good so far. Uncomfortable But compelling listening. Absolute piece of work that man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2020 The death of the podcast continues. I'm not a fan, but obviously huge podcast the Joe Rogan Experience has joined Last Podcast Network jumping on the Spotify bandwagon. Allegedly the deal is worth $100,000,000. So you can see why he's made the jump, but still... The walled garden model for podcasts sucks. Especially as Spotify is shit for podcasts and I've no interest in having another app on my phone when I've got my podcast app sorted already.

PieFacE Posted May 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 20, 2020 As a heavy Spotify user, I don't mind this news. I've been using Stitcher to listen to 'Serial' - I've just finished 'Serial', does anyone have any other recommendations which are similar (or better) than 'Serial'? I've only just started getting into podcasts and my podcast game sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you subscribe to that you'll find a bunch of other podcasts that company/group have subsequently done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzavfc Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Jim Jefferies has a new podcast called 'I don't know about that' Basically just picks up where the last podcasts left off with Jim rambling on about a subject while everyone gets drunk.

Listened to - Serial - S Town - Up and Vanished - In the Dark (probably my favourite, season 2 was excellent) After something else now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 8, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2020 I know there's a few Football Ramble fans on here. What does everyone think of their new format? Personally I hate it. The football stuff wasn't really what you listen to the Football Ramble for. it was the comedy and "banter" between the presenters. Their now rotating cast of 8 doesn't suit me at all. That and there's just too many episodes. Especially without a commute these days I just can't keep up with a podcast a day from them. It was better when it was different shows because then I could just listen to the two actual Football Rambles a week. But they've done away with that now. The news that they've started another channel to do even more podcasts was the final nail for me. Sad. I've listened to them for probably 8 years or more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve had a bit of break from footy I haven’t been listening, but I did give one or two recent episodes a go to see how they’re getting on and yeah I have to agree. When I heard they were moving to daily show I feared I wouldn’t like it. From what you’ve said it sounds like it’s not often the four of Marcus, Jim, Luke & Pete are recording together. For most podcasts, I want to hear the same voices. If the existing format has one or two guests come in, that’s fine. But there has to be a consistent core or it feels like a different show. The dynamic changes too much when the personnel are different. Less is more sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason the ramble was funny was because of the chemistry between the four presenters. Now it’s barely ever the four of them (if ever) together. they were the ramble.
