Podcasts I subscribe to, Sept. 2012 edition

The staggering awfulness of the iOS6 Podcast app — which I’m now forced to use, since Apple disabled playing podcasts through their regular Music app — has forced me to look into alternative podcasting apps for my phone. My new job has me driving a lot more — I’ve driven 732 miles since the last time I submitted my mileage to the paper, almost four weeks ago — and I listen to podcasts when I drive, so this is a matter of some importance to me.

I’ll likely be switching over to Downcast or Stitcher, plugging the following podcasts into whatever new program:

• Always On (video)
• APM: Marketplace Morning Report
• The Apple Byte (video)
• At the Movies with Peter Travers (video)
• Blank on Blank
• Blizzcast: The Official Blizzard Podcast
• The Bugle
• Bullseye with Jesse Thorn
• Coverville
• The Current Song of the Day
• The Dinner Party Download
• DiveFilm HD (video)
• Grammar Girl
• IndieFeed: Alternative
• IndieFeed: Indie Pop
• Judge John Hodgman
• KCRW’s Film Reviews
• KCRW’s LA Observed
• KCRW’s Martini Shot
• KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic
• KCRW’s Strangers
• KCRW’s The Business
• KCRW’s Today’s Top Tune
• KEXP presents Music That Matters
• KEXP Song of the Day
• KEXP Video of the Week (video)
• KQED-FM’s The California Report
• Latest news from KPCC
• The Loh Down on Science
• The Loh Life
• Love + Radio
• Loveline
• Mike and Tom Eat Snacks
• The Moth Podcast
• NASAcast: Solar System (video)
• NASAcast: Universe
• The Nerdist
• NPR Topics: Story of the Day
• NPR Topics: World Story of the Day
• NPR: Hourly News

• Onion News Network (video)
• OutDPS! Hunting Party Podcast
• Oxhorn Brand Movies (video)
• Peter Day Music Podcast
• PRI’s The World: GeoQuiz
• PRI’s The World: Global Hit
• The Roadhouse
• Science Friday Audio
• Science Friday Video (video)
• Song of the Week
• StarDate Podcast
• TEDTalks HD (video)
• That Sound: Indie Music Podcast
• They Might Be Giants Podcast
• This American Life
• Thrilling Adventure Hour
• The Vegas Minute (video)
• WNYC’s Radiolab

I know; that’s a long list. Most of them don’t even update on a weekly basis, much less daily. (That’s also why I don’t have shows like Fresh Air as podcasts, which are both daily and very long — I’d never get through to anything else if I listened to it each day.)
