I have been so remiss. Totally forgot to link to the latest TVD podcast–over three hours of hilarity, recorded oh so long ago, and lovingly edited down to a more sane length, by Melissa of TheTelevixen.com. I joined Melissa, Connie, Vee, and Lee, once again, to discuss The Vampire Diaries, and a good time was had by all. Go over to The Televixen site to listen to the podcast: TVD Season 1 Finale Podcast. Enjoy! Also, Melissa has big plans for a season 1 retrospective podcast, and she wants your feedback. Check out her site for the details, and/or email her with your favorite scenes or episodes: melissa@thetelevixen.com. She’s accepting submissions until August 15th, so I hope lots of you will contribute. Thanks.

The Televixen has posted another Vampire Diaries podcast. I joined Melissa (@thetelevixen on Twitter) from TheTelevixen.com, Connie (@conallen on Twitter) from Blast Magazine, and Vee (@tvdnews on Twitter) from Vampire-Diaries.net to discuss the 12th episode of The Vampire Diaries, “Unpleasantville.” Click on the link below to listen to our discussion of the dancing, torture, killing, intrigue, revelations, and general mayhem:

The Televixen’s TVD Podcast – Let’s Kill All the Awesome Chicks

Melissa of The Televixen has posted her latest podcast on her site. She was kind enough to invite me on as a guest, and I had a such a blast talking about The Vampire Diaries with Melissa, Connie (@conallen on Twitter) from Blast Magazine, and Vee (@tvdnews on Twitter), co-runner of Vampire-Diaries.net. All of these ladies are awesome chicks–so awesome that if they were on The Vampire Diaries then Damon would be sure to kill them too. So, check out the link below to listen to us talk about the first post-hiatus episode, “Bloodlines.” Be warned that there are some spoilers for future episodes too, but only in the context of casting news.

TVD Podcast – Let’s Kill All the Awesome Chicks.

P.S. I have listened to the first thirty minutes, and if you took a shot every time that I say “um, you know,” then you would be wasted. I have become a variation on a How I Met Your Mother joke. Sigh. I will try to work on that for next time.

Update: Here is a link to download the podcast on iTunes: The Televixen Podcast on iTunes.

My Favorite Podcasts Part II

The Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack: http://www.jayandjack.com

I have been listening to this podcast from the beginning, and it is definitely my absolute favorite podcast. More than any other t.v. show, Lost calls for podcasts. As the most complicated and intriguing show on television, there are dozens of podcasts dedicated to discussing the mysteries of the island. These podcasts can help fans better enjoy their favorite show. Viewers that gave up on Lost because it was too complicated should have listened to a podcast instead of quitting the show. Jay and Jack’s is the best one out there, perfectly combining quirky humor with more serious analysis. One of my favorite parts is Jack’s “Crack-Pot Theory of the Week.” For example: Rose and Bernard work for Dharma, or the plane never crashed, etc. Even if I didn’t watch Lost, I would still listen to this podcast, because it’s just plain entertaining. There are a lot of inside jokes in the podcast, so I recommend going back and listening to the earlier episodes—they began in Season 2 of the show—but it’s not necessary. During the Lost season, they put out 2 a week—the first with their recap and initial thoughts, and the second incorporating listener feedback. Go subscribe on iTunes now!

My Favorite Podcasts Part I

I love podcasts—I’m completely addicted. However, any time that I mention this fabulous entertainment medium, people either roll their eyes, or ask me “What’s a podcast?” I try to explain, but they just look confused, and refuse to actually listen to one, so I thought I would put it in writing—then you’ll be sure to believe me, right? A podcast is a sort of an independent web-based radio show. Anyone can start one, and they are free to listen to. You can download podcasts from iTunes (my preferred method), or download the mp3 file on the podcast’s web-site, or listen to the streaming audio of the show on the podcasters’ respective web-site.

There are podcasts on almost every subject. My favorite are in the entertainment category—fan podcasts dedicated to a particular show, genre, or fandom. A typical Lost podcast, for example, might begin with the hosts’ intro along with the latest Lost news, followed by a recap of the latest episode, followed by calls or emails from listeners, and then with the analysis and commentary by the hosts, and ending with spoilers or predictions for the next episode. Most podcasts divide each show into segments with bumper music to transition the changes, and sometimes screen caps from the episodes are shown during the recaps. However, it is important to note that there is a lot of variation in the organization and content of different podcasts. This enables each podcaster to show-case his or her own creativity or individuality. As a podcast connoisseur, I hope to help you newbie podcast listeners to find the best shows to fit your respective tastes. Enjoy!

Pottercast: This is one of the first podcasts I ever listened to, and the only Harry Potter podcast I currently listen to. It is produced by the people who run the Leaky Cauldron site (http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org) and the hosts are Melissa Annelli (Web-mistress of the Leaky Cauldron), John Noe, and Sue (a proud Hufflepuff), and a new addition to the cast, Frak. I used to listen to a different Harry Potter podcast (Mugglecast), but Pottercast is far superior in quality and content. The chemistry between the hosts is great, and there’s a perfect balance between banter and professionalism. Recent highlights include an interview with J.K. Rowling herself.
