5 Benefits of Listening to Podcasts

By now, you know what podcasts are. You are one of the 144 million Americans who have listened to a podcast at least once. But we know that one does not only listen to one podcast and forget about them. For the majority of people, it starts a habit that transforms into an addiction. Suddenly, you find yourself spending every waking moment (especially when you should be working) searching for a new pod to satiate your hunger.

But there is more to podcasts than merely damaging your relationships and your career. There is a wide range of benefits that will make you realize that every minute that ticks by listening to the soothing and dulcet tones of your host are entirely worth it. So, here are 5 benefits of listening to podcasts

Podcast Starter Kit: “The Comedy Button”

If you’re new to the podcast world and unsure about what to subscribe to on Itunes, we’re here to help.

We listen to various podcasts while we write, so we know some of the gems buried in the pile of bad podcasts in Itunes.

The Comedy Button is a comedy podcast made by guys in the video game industry. Many of the guys currently write at IGN or Geekbox. The cast includes: Anthony Gallegos, Ryan Scott, Brian Altano, Scott Bromley and Max Scoville.

A lot of the humor is very geek-oriented (video games, comic books), but once you listen to an episode, you’ll want to hear more.

We post a few YouTube clips from their show and where you can listen to The Comedy Button episodes. Continue reading →

America’s White Boy: The Podcast?

Hey guys,

I know what you’re thinking…did he just wake up from his New Year’s hangover? Well, sort of.

I’ve been working on launching a podcast. I’ve never worked with audio equipment at this level before, so it has been a learning experience. I’m very thankful my dog is not a parrot. He would have learned so many colorful words.

Before I ask you guys to email BobbyMcRib (at) Gmail or tweet me @Sweetbob, I want to explain what I want to accomplish with the podcast.

The podcast will be a mix between sports and pop culture. I have a lot of friends/acquaintances/colleagues who cover sports or music for a living. I want to share them with the world along with some of the characters I’ve met in my life. I’d feel very selfish if I didn’t share them with the world. The target demographic will be male 18-49, but I don’t want to be overtly chauvinistic. The podcast will be humorous, but I want to keep an option open to interview interesting people, even if the goal is to only inform.

Wait, if I have a bikini model on the podcast, will that help my iTunes podcast algorithm rank? No? Damn.

If you have any ideas, topics, sponsorship inquiries or advice, please shoot me an email or tweet. This podcast idea has been on my mind for a long time. It has taken the success of this blog (and experience gained from writing for print mags and other websites) to give me the confidence to pursue this. The first episode’s release date is TBD, but it will be here sooner than you know.

Speaking of Sooners…Hey, Oklahoma benchwarmers, are you excited for “The America’s White Boy Podcast”?

Calm down, fellas! You’re going to injure your beer pong arm.

Man Dumps 10-Gallons Of Yogurt On Himself To Join ESPN Fantasy Football League

A young man by the name of Blake Hall wanted to get into ESPN’s “Fantasy Focus” league really bad. The podcast puts together a 20-team league each year and receives hundreds of submissions from people trying to get in. This year’s contests included “What would your wrestler entrance music be?” type of questions, but one man said that he would dump 10-gallons of yogurt on himself for an entry. Check out the video of the yogurt avalanche.

I think the best part about the video is that they don’t even catch the first try. The camera man didn’t record it, so they have to re-shoot it again. I hope those guys let him in, I’m guessing that they do. Matthew Berry, Nate Ravitz, and Pod Vader have a fondness for yogurt.

Hey guys, that the poor man in the Man’s League!
