A couple of weeks ago over on our Facebook group the magnificently bearded Andrew Baker asked us if there was any other podcasts we could recommend. Lee’s pretty notorious for not listening to many other shows, but I’m a certified podcast addict and am more than happy to throw around a few suggestions.

Over the next few weeks I’m going to be pointing out a few podcasts that I personally enjoy. Both Lee and I feel that the world of podcasting should be a supportive community rather than a competitive marketplace, and one of the ways we can support other shows is by pointing our rather amazing audience towards them too.

So here’s my first two recommendations:

Fulltime Casual

Both Ian and I mentioned the Fulltime Casual podcast over on the Facebook page. This Australian podcast is hosted by Peter Wells and Justin Gibson, who have been friends for many years judging by the easygoing chemistry between the two.

The show focuses on all the usual geeky pursuits – TV, film, and general popular culture. But the guys stand a little taller than the rest by virtue of their reasoned and interesting reviews, easy wit, and general laid back attitude – not for them is the rabid fanboyism of many pop culture based shows.

Fulltime Casual isn’t the most regularly updated podcast out there, and isn’t one I particularly rely on to get all my geeky news. But they have pointed me in the direction of a number of now-loved movies and TV shows

You can find Fulltime Casual at www.fulltimecasual.com or go directly to their iTunes page.

The Ink Panthers Show

I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned it on the Midnight Movie Club, but by far my favourite comic book writer/artist is a chap called Alex Robinson. He is best known for his fantastic Box Office Poison indy comic series, the graphic novel of which I’ve bought multiple times in order to give them as gifts. I even gave Lee a copy a year or two ago.

Alex has also done other comics too, all of which have my sincere recommendation. The guy really is one of the finest comic creators out there.

Alex and his friend and fellow comic creator Mike Dawson put out a weekly-ish show called The Ink Panters Show. I’ve yet to check out Mikes comics, but i’ve been meaning to for ages (in fact – there – I just ordered his book Troop 142 from amazon now). The show does skirt round the world of indy comic artists, but is wide ranging in it’s topics and extremely accessible to all and is possibly the funniest show I listen to. I certainly leap on each and every episode as it comes out. It’s podcasting at it’s absolute bloody finest. Seriously, you need to check it out.

You can find the podcast on its webpage, or alternatively find it on iTunes.

———–

And that’ll do for this week I think. I listen to a lot of good shows and hopefully aim to point out some more for you over the five or six weeks or so. Certainly i’ll be including all the podcasting friends of the show so don’t start getting your knickers in a twist (I’m looking at the Casta La Vista guys here – those boys are so needy).

Let me know your own podcasting recommendations. I’m always in the market for finding some new shows.
