I’ve done this before and had some interesting comments, so I’ll update my list of current podcast subscriptions.

I don’t always listen to all of these – that’s a lot of stuff – but I find that these are the ones I’m usually checking out at least every now and then. I also listen to podcasts at night when I’m going to sleep, or to get me back to sleep after waking up to check on Brogan (often I have a hard time falling back asleep, but if I’m hearing somebody else’s thoughts in my heads, that works out better).

Christianity/Spirituality

• 2006 Prayer Conference (Dutch Sheets) – 4 episodes, not a recurring podcast, but interesting stuff on intercessory prayer
• Aaron Klinefelter – a Vineyard guy into simple church, monastic life, and technology. Aaron’s cool.
• Alan Creech – simple, organic church done in a Kentucky accent. I am looking forward to meeting Alan one of these days.
  
• Emergent-UK Resources – run by Jason Clark,a collection of really good recordings – interviews, teaching, training, etc. N. T. Wright, Todd Hunter, Dallas Willard, Conrad Gempf etc. One of my favorite resource podcasts.
• Kingdom Rain – by Don Williams, one of the Vineyard movement’s best theologians; the podcast just started and hasn’t been updated. Hope it gets regular and meets my high expectations.
• Meditations from Carmel – Short, < 5 min, readings from classic spiritual works by the discalced Carmelite nuns of St. Louis; I just discovered this and have only heard one episode
• Monastery Podcast – Recordings of the worship services of the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, Benedictine nuns. If you’re interested in hearing how Benedictines pray the psalms, this is a good resource. I listen to this at work; it’s calming, peaceful and I find it very helpful.
• OhanaProject – sermons from my friends at Ohana Project, a church in Seattle
• Pray as You Go – 15 minute contemplative prayer pieces from the Ignatian tradition. I absolutely love this podcast and can’t recommend it highly enough. They follow the church calendar, so if you want to know if it’s some saint’s feast day, etc, you’ll found out here.
• Vineyard Church Sutton’s Marriage Course – Jason Clark, whom I admire greatly. Haven’t actually listened to these yet, but I’m hanging on to them. Just noticed that they have a leadership podcast also, and one on spiritual gifts using Winn Griffin’s “Spiritual Gifts for Dummies” book, which is really good.

Sports

• Baseball Prospectus Radio – baseball analysis and interviews by two of the guys with BP.
  
• Elise and Ian On Demand – KJR-AM evening hosts
• ESPN Radio: Best of Mike and Mike
• ESPN Radio: Dan and Keith
• Seahawks Insider from the Tacoma News-Tribune – the best local newspaper’s best columnist posts his own audioblog, and sometimes interview recordings and other goodies

Culture

• Ask a Ninja – if you don’t know, just go check it out
• Bono – the Rolling Stone Interview – RS’s recordings of the interview which became a fantastic cover story last year.
• Delta Park Project | The Big Show – Pop culture and gentle humor
• Delta Park Project gets Lost – The DPP crew does a Lost recap’
• Fly With Me – the personal podcast of Joe Dion, a major airline pilot. Really entertaining.
• The Starbucks Experience – leadership thoughts from Joseph Michelli, author of a nifty little management/business book by the same title.
• LostCasts – the best Lost podcast for my favorite watercooler conversation show. Motto: “We read the forums so you don’t have to.” :-). Great analysis, recaps, spoilers, all the stuff that adds flavor to a great show, and 80% of which I wouldn’t catch on my own.
