    Which podcasts should I be listening to?

    I've been listening to more podcasts recently, but I'm trying to find good vintage toy or pop culture related ones to download, any suggestions?

    I currently subscribe to Mego Museum (the last one from SDCC with Doc Mego and Biff Bang Pow interviews is really entertaining BTW!) and Rebelsum Vintage.

    What am I missing out on?

    I really enjoy Word Balloon for comic books and they often wander into Pop Culture. Also check out their Aw Yeah podcast with the Museum's own Mego Milk.

      If you like comedy I really enjoy Marc Maron's WTF podcast. He's a great comedian himself and he gets really good interviews with other comics.

      I also love The Nerdist podcasts.

          Not specifically toy related, but Creative Screenwriting Magazine has some good interviews with screenwriters who worked on a lot of comic book and cartoon movie adaptations, if you're interested in getting some inside scoop on what the writing process is like for these kinds of movies.

          Comedy:
          The Pod F. Tompkast - I just finished listening to all of these. Everything is written and performed by comedian Paul F. Tompkins, who also has guests each week. It's a mix of stream of consciousness rambling and skits, and he does a serialized radio play too.


          Science Stuff:
          WNYC's Radiolab
          - is very entertaining, they take interesting ideas and stories related to science and create really personal and emotional stories about them.

          The Skeptics' Guide To The Universe - is drier than Radiolab, but it's another favorite of mine. A panel of skeptics lead by Dr. Steven Novella discuss and debate all kinds of scientific and pseudoscientific topics each week.

                        I also like the Tony Kornheiser Show. He's one of the hosts of ESPN's Pardon the Interruption, which I watch with my husband, even though I don't really like sports. He is a funny guy, and his podcast only occasionally does sports topics. Mostly he just talks about news, movies, celebrities - whatever he feels like. I thoroughly enjoy the ones I've caught.
