For your listening pleasure...

The Ricky Gervais podcast.

I heard about this one as I watched Conan's farewell tour this past week from the Tonight Show. He had Ricky Gervais, creator of the BBC's "The Office", on the show and he was plugging his new show and the premise caught my attention. So, I decided to add this to my audio blog. The new show is an annimated cartoon called the Ricky Gervais Show debuting on HBO soon. What started this was Gervais and two of his friends would sit in a room and record themselves talking about popular culture and trends and then releasing them as podcasts for your ears to hear. The podcast was such a success that they developed them into a cartoon, so technically its not strictly audio anymore but the video your seeing is created from the topics they dicussed originally and recorded on the audio track.

This next one, The Deadpod, is a podcast/blog that a man called The Professor runs. He goes through and finds great live, and often rare, recordings of The Grateful Dead and shares them with the masses for our enjoyment. I really like this one because as a big Dead fan, I can go here and find music that I have never heard before and get to enjoy them almost as if I was there. It is not the most common podcast format since there isnt much talking but, to me, that is the beauty because its all about the music and it will always set you free!


Thanks for stopping by, come back soon for more class/personal blog posts. Peace!
