If the content is good, then it will improve over time. It's still very new, and everyone's early podcasts are pretty shite.
Ill give them a stab.
Non Profits can stumble when they try to go outside the realms of atheism. When I want news/politics (and I LOVE US lefty news and politics podcasts), I'll listen to young Turks, David Packman, Rachel Maddow. Or The Bugle is awesome for a hilarious UK leaning. John Oliver (writer for the daily show), is one funny fucker.
If you haven't already heard any, look up some 'religion themed' Best of the Left episodes.

That is true.
Actually I was thinking about sending them a short and polite "love the show, but..." email. 'Cause It would be so much better with higher production values.
The other thing that is noticeable is the lack of spontaneity that the Atheist Experience has...But GB is not a call-in show, so that is acceptable.

I mentioned it......sort of.... 'Radiolab is like a sciency 'this American life''
I like it, download it, but don't always listen to it. Bugs me that they almost always say "this story first aired back in 2007...." I imagine that most of what I've heard will be repeated soon. Great show though.
Definitely check out Radiolab (NWYC's Radiolab). Similar style of storytelling, but unmissable. The recent ones on "colours", "sleep", "patient zero" and "falling" and fantastic.
Chop chop!!

Just wondering via which method most people get their podcasts....like subscribing via iTunes?
I was using iTunes but having just restored the computer back to scratch have to go find and re-subscribe to everything. So just having e a think about alternate methods or weather everyone just does it via iTunes.

I just wifi them from the iTunes app. Search for them to get them into phone, then once you have them on there, use "get more episodes" to update. I never download and sync via iTunes anymore.

ITunes app....I didn't even think to look to see if there is an iTunes app for android! Searching in GooglePlay brought up DoubleTwist Player, sounds like a nice itunes replacement app to try on the phone. Thanks guys! And you've given me a few ideas to try otherwise (like Stitcher)
The ipod nano is getting old and I was hoping to give it to my Husband to hook up to the Mazda3 since it came with a stupid 3mm jack and a 3mm to usb cable doesn't seem to work with the usb stick that has his music in it......well yet to see if the cable works with the ipod though, either way not much point shelling out for a new ipod just to have it plugged into the car really.
Worst case scenario I can use the software discs that came with the phone to sync iTunes stuff to it, but it seems to treat podcasts like songs so I'd have to go to the extra effort of making a playlist with just new podcasts in it, which isn't too bad but compared to just plugging in an ipod it means having to keep track of what I've listened to and what I haven't.

'The Minutes' and 'You're Welcome' by Patience Hodgson and Mel Buttle - good to have playing in the background, just 2 girls talking shit and giving advice to people about an array of crazy situations.
Dr Karl on triple j - have to listen to Nova FM at work, so never hear this talkback program live, so I download it and listen later.
