Welcome back for another episode of the Schnuthcast!  Besides our usual banter we talk about some of our favorite podcasts.  A question we get quite a lot is what podcasts we listen to, so this episode should give you a better idea of what we’re listening to these days.  Brace yourself for shownote goodness:

  • If you want shorter podcasts you should try mine, Podcast Ping (http://podcastping.blogspot.com) and Blue Hot Gossip (http://bluehotgossip.blogspot.com). I’ve been a little slow in getting them out lately but I should get a Podcast Ping anniversary episode out soon and I’m planning something for Halloween. Funny enough the podcast downloads aren’t great but I get really good download numbers torrenting them on Mininova.

  • Thanks for the plug for ‘Pocket’! :) Glad you enjoyed it … the second book is out on Podiobooks, links here: http://maxquickseries.com

    Thanks again!
    - M

    • Hey Mark! I didn’t realize that the second book was available as a podcast. Off to Podiobooks! :D I loved the first so I have no idea how this got under my radar. Thanks!

      • Yes … and working on the 3rd. Also … just yesterday I got an offer from a Huge Publishing Company You Would Know … my lit agent doing minor haggling, but expect a wide release of book 1 in 2010. :)

  • I’ll second your AWO recommendation, and offer a somewhat supportive acknowledgement that Retronauts is the best of a bad retrogaming bunch – although, if you’re after some great retro & indie gaming listening, try the (sadly defunct) ArseCast.

    A couple of my preferred regulars include techy stuff from PWOP (including the fantastic Mondays!), gaming at Giant Bomb, and a semi-regular dub-oriented mixcast at SacredDub. Sound Opinions is also a decent radio-show-come-podcast.

    Incidentally, if you’ve got an older iPod (as well as many other MP3 players), give RockBox a look. It’s got an excellent playback-speed function, allowing you to speed up (or slow down) playback (almost) as much as you like. Yes, the iPod also offers a “Faster” option, but the RockBox gives you much finer-grained control (for example, I listen to most “talky” podcasts at 135%, but Hanselminutes at 125%).

    Thanks for the atheist recommendations, too – I’ll check them out :)

  • Hey I’m interested in giving your podcast a try but since I use the zune software I need the podcast RSS download episodes. Could I get the RSS feed please.

  • Hey Aaron if you don’t mind could you list this podcast in the zune marketplace would love to listen but won’t be until it is put up on zune marketplace hook us zune users up with the schnuthcast goodness!!!

    • Hey Jason! I just tried to install the Zune software and it keeps failing on me. Apparently you need to submit your podcast using the software. I’ll keep trying though.

      In the meantime I have the RSS feed for the podcast under the iTunes link on the top right of the website. Are you able to subscribe to podcasts with your Zune using just the RSS feed? I know you can with iTunes. Let me know and I will try my best to sort this all out.

      • Yes you are I have tried submitting your podcast to zune myself but for some reason it will let me submit but your show. It will not show up as an available podcast. Also I know that you are not doing warp anymore. But when you were doing warp were you a guest on other peoples podcast.

        I’ve listened to all your warp shows but forgot. Reason I ask is Me and my 2 friends started are own podcast. We are currently on episode 3 waiting till we get 4 out to launch show. If you have some free time maybe you could listen to 1 and tell me what you think if you like it. It would be cool to get you our you and Diana on. I am thinking of having a show every so often with other podcasters come on and I interview them and talk about their show and they stay on while we do a full show as a special guest co-host.

  • (I set this up for my podcast a while back and I assume it still works.)
    You can create a Zune link without submitting. The submission is for those who want to get the podcast onto the listings. Simply create a URL link that starts with “zune://subscribe/?” instead of “html://”

    zune://subscribe/?{name of podcast}=http://{location of podcast}

    So a link to Podcast Ping looks like this:
    Podcast Ping

    You podcast would be something like this:
    Schnuthcast

  • I haven’t tried it but one trick you could try is to provide a link to a webpage with a link. So you post an HTML link to a webpage that has a link for the Zune. It might even work with an automatic refresh, so that when it refreshes it activates the Zune link. If you don’t have one you could grab one of the free sites.

  • Well any Zune user can manually add a podcast as long as they have the RSS feed in podcsats with the add podcast button. Having it in the marketplace isn’t better or anything just slightly easier (if your listeners are US Zune users). If they are canadian or other international Zune users it’s actually better to use the manual link. The marketplace is kinda weird in that way when I look for podcasts in marketplace it was kinda of dodgy.

  • dang finally got the pc working again.

    anyhow, i do lissen to AWO. sadly they dont get episodes out to fast. as well as Fast Karate for the Gentlemen

    but here some other podcasts i lissen to that you may know/remember.

    Geeknights, Anime Pulse, and The Greatest Movie Ever.

    some you might not know, Xbox 360 fancast, Petfoodalpha (ffxi) and Limit Break Radio (ffxi)

    other big names, who dont know of Twit or the many podcasts Leo does over there.

    lately i been really loving stuff by Revision3. though this is video podcasting. its got alot of the other gang from tech tv. with shows like The Totally Rad Show (games & movies), Digg Nation (digg), and HD Nation (anything to do with HD media) all of these are done in really great video qualit.

    as for my own podcast i been trying to get started, its kinda on hold for abit. mainly running a blog with the same basses as the podcast was ment to have, untill i can find a co-host or 2. fact is podcasts with more then 1 person on them, just sound better.
