Bryan MitchellSo International Podcast Day is here—and it’s my first time celebrating it here on the Fediverse so here are some of podcasts that I listen to and recommend starting with my go-tos for when I’m writing, playing video games, or getting housework done among other things…
—CheapShow: A comedy podcast hosted by Paul Gannon and Eli Silverman where they showcase charity shop finds, listen to vinyl records, taste and rate sauces (alongside candy, crisps/chips, and fizzy drinks), play board games, and so much more!
Podcast may sometimes contain improvised characters that take a life of their own, giving this show comedic flexibility from causal and inquisitive chats to full-on radio plays.
—Stone Age Gamer: A podcast under the Geekade banner helmed by Kris Randazzo (who also writes for Nintendo Force) & Dan Ryan where they talk gaming news then do a number of video game related activities. Whether they’re making a starter kit for a retro console, drafting up genre-specific titles for a March Madness bracket in May, figure out the best releases by decade, or even interview some noteworthy figures, Stone Age Gamer makes gaming fun while staying chill!
—Kermode & Mayo’s Take: Film critic Mark Kermode and radio DJ Simon Mayo continue on where their BBC 5 Live show left off while adding in TV reviews and laughter lifts. I don’t think they’ll top some of Wittertainment’s best moments, but I’m glad they’re still around and doing well!

—GameGrooves Uncovered: A podcast from gaming music platform/label, GameGrooves, where they interview cover artists, composers, and musicians in the gaming industry and music scene.
