My First Podcast

edited August 2007 in Everything Else
Some comments on one of last weeks shows got me to thinking: What was your first podcast and how did you get started listening to them? I think this would be interesting to see what works in expanding the podcast market.

  • I believe my first podcast was either Ask a Ninja or Anime World Order. I found them while browsing through itunes after I saw some weird link that said "podcasts".
  • My first was Anime World Order. I found it randomly on iTunes.
  • Daizenshuu EX - The Podcast

    I really liked the website, and thought that a podcast made by them would be great.
  • The Lord Admiral Radio Poker Podcast was my first, kinda sucks they stopped it was the only real good poker podcast I had found.
  • My first podcast was The Shooby Show, which I genuinely liked and it inspired me to do my own podcast. The kid doing it quit, then returned after a year. He had turned into a pompous, podcast-flaming, troll. I stopped listening.

    Ask a Ninja here, as well. Sadly, the newer episodes don't seem as entertaining as the earlier ones.
  • The Brain Food Podcast. Then I learned the difference between a shit ass podcast[<---], and a good one [Geek Nights].
  • Evil Genius Chronicles and Daily Source Code. I haven't listened to either in over a year.

    ...GeekNights.

    Because Rym had a link to it in his AIM profile.

  • TWiT I think. If it wasn't TWiT it was Daily Source Code or Comic Geek Speak. The only one of those three I don't listen to anymore is DSC. I found all of them in the iTunes podcast directory the day I got my iPod nano.
  • I found the MacCast and Cinema Rant right after buying my mac. I still listen to most of the MacCast and I listen to Cinema Rant when they bother to post a show.
  • I think it was CBC's Quirks and Quarks. It has been a long time, so it could be another show, but Q&Q was the earliest one I can remember.
  • GeekNights...
    I never listened to a single podcast until well after we'd started doing GeekNights.
  • TWiT, found it right there on the front page of the podcasts the day I got my first iPod (5th gen, a little late I know).
  • TWiT got me started since it was originally pitched as a return to the Screen Savers, and then it sort of evolved from there.

    This is somewhat surprising to me I guess. Interesting!

    GeekNights was my first and I was put on to it by a friend and fellow listener.
  • This is somewhat surprising to me I guess. Interesting! I say it fairly often, but I avoided podcasts for the longest time mostly due to the fact that the vast majority of them are terrible, both in audio quality and in content.
    Even the podcasts I do enjoy, many of them are barely listenable just for the lack of sound processing and proper microphone use.

    Now I'm confused. I thought Scott was the snob. ~_^

    NPR's On the Media - I was big fan before I moved in 2005, but local NPR station in my new home town didn't carry that particular program. While investigating methods by which I could listen to my show through the intrawebs, I stumbled apon the concept of podcasts.

  • Probably the original BoardGameGeek GeekSpeak podcast.
  • TWIT I believe...and I can't even remember how I found out about it.
  • Geeknights was the first I listened to. Then AWO followed through Geeknights talking about them. Now I got some of my friends into it.
