I’ve been having serious Internet writing block lately. It seems like everyone else is too – most of the blogs I read are have been pretty much post and comment free lately. I guess it’s post-election burnout! I’m still working on my gigantic Xena analysis, but I’m starting to feel a need to actually publish something, so how about:
Random podcast reviews!
A podcast made by a couple who lives in LA. It is very, very clever. 2 Homos is a typical podcast – short episodes, with one specific topic for each podcast. And while they do usually have interesting things to say, the real reason to listen is for the interaction between Roxy and Virginia. They bounce off of each other in a very funny manner. Sometime they are a bit disgusting and weird, though!
Is one of the big name, professionally produced podcasts – and the one of the few of those worth listening to! The Lesbian Lounge is more like a regular radio talk show. It’s two hours long, and they get big name guests, and have regular features. The end result is, that it often kind of boring. So I just recommend listening to the cool guests, and ignoring the everything else. They do seem to have a regular interactive chat community that runs live with the show – participating in that might make it more interesting.
Is usually quite offensive. Sandy (the podcaster) is very opinionated, and spends most of the podcast swearing at people and groups and concepts that she dosen’t like. It’s still entertaining, if completely random. The only part that I don’t like are the prank calls – but that’s because I don’t like prank calls in general! That, and Sandy has an irrational hatred for bisexuals.
The best of the L Word themed podcasts – KC and Elka are very funny, very witty, and have lots of entertaining L Word related thoughts. The also encourage their listener to drunk dial into their hotline – the result is weird, but also lots of fun.
Here! TV’s attempt at podcasting. Both of the hosts are excellent comedians, and they manage to cram a awful lot of entertainment into a half hour. They talk about sex far more than is healthy for any human being, though! (And I mean that in the best possible way.)
If you are reading this, you MUST go listen to this now. I found it by a random search, and I don’t think they have very many listeners, so LISTEN! And they definitely have one of the best podcasts on the web! They don’t really have a subject – it’s supposed to be about their ‘obsessions’, so they end up randomly talking about TV shows, video games, and musicals. Perhaps I just like them because they have cute Aussie accents (yes, yes, I’m a typical American!), and because I like almost everything that they do. That’s good enough for me, though – Surrender Dorothy is just plain fun to listen to!
