The first podcast I listened to was called Stuff Mom Never Told You at How Stuff Works.com. These two women are so funny. This podcast isn't suppose to be that funny, but the two women have a lot of fun together. If men don't know what women talk about when they get together, listen to this and all their questions will be answered.
The two women talk about all sorts of things that women have questions about or common issues that women face. I listened to bra sizes, circumcisions and hair washing. They give general information about their topics and some history about each topic.
I really enjoyed listening to them, it reminded me of talking with my girlfriends. They make these topics seem so comfortable and use language that everyone will understand.
There wasn't much I didn't like, it just seemed so laid back and fun.
My second podcast was called Books on the Nightstand. This is so different from my first podcast, so I had a hard time switching from the fun and laid back atmosphere to the serious and all business atmosphere that this podcast has. These two people are little more organized in their podcast, they have their episodes numbered and start by saying what episode it is and what they will talk about. I did really like that about this podcast; I could tell if I wanted to continue listening to that episode or not based on the intro.
I wasn't a big fan of how serious these two were. They didn't have fun with the books, it was more opinionated.
They mostly talk about books, but they also talked about McDonald's giving books out in their happy meals and they get reader input in a couple episodes. But for the most part they picked books apart and compared them to other books they have read by similar authors. If I pull up this podcast again, I would probably only look for a cast that talked about authors I have read. I wouldn't just listen because I really enjoyed what they were talking about.
My third podcast is about critical thinking, it was called The Critical Thinker Academy. The intro really tries to be hip with the music, but then the guy starts to talk. He is pretty serious. He does explain what his podcast is about and lets everyone know that he has a video podcast on i-Tunes as well.
This podcast really reminded me of a school lecture. I spent a year at a relatively large University and this podcast reminded me of that. He outlines his cast and then goes into detail about his general topics. I really am not 100% sure as what he was saying in his podcasts though. I tuned out pretty early, because he was so matter of fact and wasn't really giving any room for other thought. It was his way or it was wrong. I probably wouldn't listen to this podcast again.
