Top 10 Podcasts
Ok, so i am sure you are all bored with ramblings on my life so how about some Top Recommendations for you, to hopefully satisfy your demands. So, today, we start with top 10 podcasts. In case you don’t know, a Podcast is a downloadable broadcast, to be listened to on the iPod or other MP3/ MP4 player. Many shows are recorded primarily as Podcasts, whereas others are highlights from radio shows. Oh, and by the way, as i am from the UK, many of the shows may be British so pleae bear that in mine.
So, lets get going!
10 : Russell Brand
Russell Brands Saturday night radio show has a large weekly podcast with the highlights from his show. The adult humour and guest stars, as well as his co-host Matt Morgan make for an enjoyable listen, such is the comedians power to humour even the most morbid and unhumourous people.
