Title: Default Podcast Feeds Again [Feedback wanted]
Post by: Matt on March 15, 2016, 09:23:57 am

Hi there.

This is our list of default podcast feeds in Media Center today (in OPML format so I don't have to retype it by hand):
    <outline text="Nature Magazine" xmlUrl="http://feeds.nature.com/nature/podcast/current"/>
    <outline text="Science Friday" xmlUrl="http://www.sciencefriday.com/audio/scifriaudio.xml"/>
    <outline text="Engadget" xmlUrl="http://podcasts.engadget.com/rss.xml"/>
    <outline text="On the Media" xmlUrl="http://www.onthemedia.org/feeds/episodes/otm/"/>
    <outline text="NPR on Music" xmlUrl="http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=1039"/>
    <outline text="Slate Magazine" xmlUrl="http://feeds.feedburner.com/SlateMagazineDailyPodcast"/>
    <outline text="The World Technology" xmlUrl="http://www.theworld.org/rss/tech.xml"/>
    <outline text="CBS Face the Nation" xmlUrl="http://feeds.cbsnews.com/podcast_nation_1"/>
    <outline text="Chris Evans" xmlUrl="http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio2/evans/rss.xml"/>

A few of the links above have since broken.

I think Engadget, NPR on Music, and Science Friday have all died.

So I'm looking for advice to help us tune the list a little.

Thanks for any help.

I'm a fan of NPR's "Car Talk"   http://www.cartalk.com/player5/player.php?a=show

Another one that might replace NPR on Music:
<outline text="All Songs Considered" xmlUrl="http://www.npr.org/templates/rss/podcast.php?id=510019"/>

Let's start working on a new list.  This is what I have, incorporating the above and removing the dead links:

<outline text="Nature Magazine" xmlUrl="http://feeds.nature.com/nature/podcast/current"/>
<outline text="On the Media" xmlUrl="http://www.onthemedia.org/feeds/episodes/otm/"/>
<outline text="Slate Magazine" xmlUrl="http://feeds.feedburner.com/SlateMagazineDailyPodcast"/>
<outline text="The World Technology" xmlUrl="http://www.theworld.org/rss/tech.xml"/>
<outline text="CBS Face the Nation" xmlUrl="http://feeds.cbsnews.com/podcast_nation_1"/>
<outline text="Chris Evans" xmlUrl="http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio2/evans/rss.xml"/>
<outline text="This American Life" xmlUrl="http://feed.thisamericanlife.org/talpodcast"/>
<outline text="Radiolab" xmlUrl="http://feeds.wnyc.org/radiolab"/>
<outline text="99% Invisible" xmlUrl="http://feeds.99percentinvisible.org/99percentinvisible"/>
<outline text="Car Talk" xmlUrl="http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510208"/>
<outline text="All Songs Considered" xmlUrl="http://www.npr.org/templates/rss/podcast.php?id=510019"/>

More?

Thanks.

This is certainly not a common podcast. But it's the only podcast i really listen to.

Real Synthetic Audio is the most listened to Industrial net-radio show

Here are a few of my absolute favorites:

Science Topics (in a "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" like style, kinda):
<outline text="The Infinite Monkey Cage" xmlUrl="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00snr0w/episodes/downloads.rss"/>

TV and Movie Reviews and Commentary:
<outline text="The Incomparable" xmlUrl="http://feeds.theincomparable.com/theincomparable"/>

Tech News and Discussion:
<outline text="Accidental Tech Podcast" xmlUrl="http://atp.fm/episodes?format=rss"/>

Security News (and a Video feed which might be fun to include):
<outline text="Security Now (Video)" xmlUrl="http://feeds.twit.tv/sn_video_large"/>
or the audio only version:
<outline text="Security Now (Audio)" xmlUrl="http://feeds.twit.tv/sn.xml"/>

Each of these:
* Are not super-niche.
* Are well produced and high-quality.
* Have a long track record of consistent releases (security now has been going for-ever).

Oh, and I almost forgot (how could I?)...

Indescribable:
<outline text="Hello Internet" xmlUrl="http://www.hellointernet.fm/podcast?format=rss"/>

PS. And I definitely agree with TAL and Radiolab.

Why can't it be configurable? What I would like isn't what anyone here would like.

Its only about the defaults, you can configure your own just fine.

I updated the list above with some of the additional suggestions.  Thanks a lot!

I now put the new defaults in the next build.

I think if you've already used podcasting, it won't recreate the defaults.

So you'll need to right-click Podcasts in the tree and pick Add Default Feeds.

Thanks a lot for all the help.
