Adding to the Voices in My Head

“You are into weird shit.”

“How do you know about that?”

“Whatever”

Blah! Blah! Blah!

I have heard all the criticisms about the things I know and the things I like.

So how do I know about strange and different things?

Simply I do my own programming.

I just want to post about the programs on my MP3 player. iTunes will be the end of any real quiet time in my life. I am always looking for Podcasts to listen to during the work day. It gives me some exposure to people and the world that exists outside of my immediate circle in life. I think that it helps in regards to critical thinking that goes into my writings. It lets you know that this world has more going on in it then you will ever truly know in your lifetime.

So besides my eclectic music taste. Here is a list of the Podcasts that I regularly listen to.

This American Life- Stories about things that happen in this country that makes you think. You may be surprised but there is some depth to American society. However, not when it comes to politics and prime time network television.

On Point- Interviews and discussions on a wide range of topics. Most of the time it is about a topic that I am unfamiliar with. And the less I know makes the discussion turn out to be more interesting.

The MOTH – People telling true stories about themselves live without any notes.

Seven Second Delay- A weekly radio program that usually features radio stunts that go bad. They do not call them “train wrecks” for nothing.

Dusty Show- Features “man on the street” interviews, sometimes strange yet insightful monologues and more eclectic music in between.

I really like Podcasts that features people just having conversations that are basically goofing on each other and the topic. It is these talks that you can find some insight about people and things. It is where I can find some things to check out that I had never heard of before. This is where I find those books, movies and websites that most people have never heard about. I do not always search those things out for myself. I usually hear about them on Podcasts like this. There are two Podcasts that fall into this premise for me. Kevin Smith’s SModcast and the show Keith and the Girl.

Speaking of goofing on things. The Onion Radio News.

My other source of vast information is from my dumpster reading of the Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader
series.

Given all this information in my head and if my life was a sitcom instead of a public service warning.

This is how it may play out.

I will not even go into the titles in my NetFlix queue.
