Podcasts

I love listening to podcasts. It's so handy getting the files automatically loaded to iTunes, and then automatically put to my iPod when I sync it. So I'm going to share my top three podcasts just in case they interest our readers, and of course if you listen to podcasts please share your favorites.

Battlestar Galactica podcast. These are actually commentaries to the episodes so you can watch them with the episodes if you wish, but if you've just seen the episode they work as standalone too. They are made by Galactica's executive producer Ronald D. Moore and they are must for a hardcore Galactica fans. They don't contain spoilers, but offer fascinating insights to making of the series, and I think they are later on used as the commentary tracks on the DVDs. It's published weekly when Galactica is on.

Sci-fi Talk. It's Tony Tellado's internet-only sci-fi talk show - he interviews genre (sci-fi/fantasy/horror) people from current shows and movies. What I love about him is the fact that he's a true fan: he easily gets excited and always, always has nice things to say. So many fans these days are just total smarks, and while it can be entertaining it's so nice to hear someone say nice things for a change. I listen to pretty much all his podcasts, even when the movie or the series is unknown to me because Tony's got a lovely way of getting people to talk about something they love. He publishes about two to three podcasts a week, and some are sometimes older ones he's only later digitized.

From our own correspondent. I've got to recommend something from my favorite radio station in the world, BBC's Radio 4. From our own correspondent is a series of stories from BBC's correspondents around the world telling weird tales about weird countries. Podcast is published once a week and it lasts about 30 minutes - always educational and fascinating.
