We just love listening to all the great 'casts out there. Sure, we have to wade through mountains of manure to find the ones worthy of calling our shiny little MP3 player home. Bostonist thinks it might have found one such 'cast: Love and Radio. Love and Radio is just what you would expect from a show that is available via alt.NPR. It contains the interesting accounts and stories collected by two twenty-somethings spending their... [continue]

Even though Apple has yet to release the "true video iPod", Bostonist digs the video podcasts. This week, we offer up a gem of a vodcast, Hello the Podcast. Hello the Podcast is a video podcast that tells the stories of twenty-somethings living in the Boston area. This is, essentially, season two of the Hello Simon podcast. Episode one of this season of the podcast begins with Simon leaving Harry (the narrator). Wait, should we... [continue]

Every once in a while a webcast comes around that Bostonist just adores. Of course, we want to share this adoration and what better way to accomplish this than to drop a review on the intertubes for your consumption? This week we review a 'cast that is produced by the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum: The Concert. Let us get the geekery out of the way. The folks over at the Gardner have done something great... [continue]

Another week, another webcast review. This week we went looking for a webcast that focused on giving us the lowdown on all the cool, hip things to do in Beantown. Sure, we have our finger on the pulse of Boston. Sure, we already know all the cool places to be each week. But, we do these reviews as a service to our loyal readers and not as a selfish endeavor. Boston Union's Dirty Water describes... [continue]

Are you ready for some football? Rather, are you ready for a fantasy football podcast? If you answered yes, then this week's webcast review is just up your alley. Bostonist likes participating in the occasional fantasy football league. Unfortunately, despite coming close, we have yet to win (although, by the amount of smack-talk we spew, you might think we had). Given our track record, we can use all the help we can get. Thankfully, a... [continue]

Bostonist likes it when we come across a webcast that isn't your typical talk show or music show. In fact, this week we are looking at a 'cast that not only isn't your typical talk show or music show, it isn't a show at all. The 'cast we are reviewing is an informational series for tourists (or others) wanting to know a little bit about this fine city of ours. This week's 'cast is Tourcaster... [continue]

Bostonist isn't the sort to not listen to a podcast just because it is from Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net or, in this case, the Boston Globe. Sure, we dig that podcasting has been a haven for vanguard content, but that doesn't mean the mainstream can't do podcasting right. This week, we take a look at the Boston Globe's Page One Podcast. The Page One Podcast is exactly what you would want and, quite frankly, exactly what you would... [continue]

Every once in a while we find a podcast that is simply great. Thankfully, we found one only one week after a not-so-good 'cast was reviewed. This week we take a look at the Band In Boston podcast. The Band In Boston podcast is a podcast, of course, about music. What this podcast does is provide the listener with suggestions of local music to check out in the upcoming week. In addition, they will often... [continue]

Yes, Bostonist is a tad tardy in posting this week's webcast review. We could blame it on being overworked. We could blame it on sheer laziness. But, the truth is simply that we weren't looking forward to writing this review. However, it is not only our duty to help you locate good 'casts to fill your iPod, it is also our duty to steer you away from ones that will occupy otherwise useful storage space.... [continue]

Bostonist spends the morning hours in a car commuting like many of you out there. Finding podcasts that makes the commuting experience enjoyable can be a tall order. Well, we think we found one such podcast. The Morning Stories podcast has made sitting in traffic on Route 9 a much more pleasant experience. The Morning Stories podcast is produced by Tony Kahn for Boston's own WGBH. The idea behind this 'cast is to bring you...... [continue]

Sometimes you want to use your portable audio player to actually listen to music. Yes, we know that sounds crazy, but there are actually podcasts that focus on music. In Boston, we have a good selection of music 'casts. This week, we take a look at CC Radio. Chris Conly serves up his personally picked offerings of (mostly) pod-safe music. If you aren't familiar with the term, don't worry. All you need to know is... [continue]

Being Bostonians, we know that there are two things that the people of this city become passionate about this time of year: politics and sports. Currently, there is a rather competitive race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination and, of course, the Sox are in the hunt for the A.L. East title. Surely, there must be a podcast out there that covers both. Well, the gods must be listening, as they have brought us Saint Kermit.... [continue]

As you know, its the halfway point in the baseball season and Bostonist's favorite team is in a good position. We are always looking for a new webcast to listen to and during this All-Star break, we thought we would take a look at the Without a Curse podcast. The Without a Curse podcast is hosted by Alex Reimer. Alex shows that he has a passion for baseball, a passion for the Red Sox, and... [continue]

Sometimes we want more from a podcast. Yes, it is nice to listen to some independent music artists, get some financial advice, or get your geek on. But, sometimes we want to be inspired. For those times, we have the Old South Church Sermons from Boston's Old South Church. The congregation of the Old South Church has its roots extend back to the late 1600s. It is an open and diverse congregation with parishoners of... [continue]

It has been a while since Bostonist has reviewed a video webcast. This week we take a look at a 'cast that is sure to be enjoyed by cooks and aspriring cooks alike. This week, we take a look at Simply Ming, a video webcast from one of Boston's most well known chefs, Ming Tsai. In culinary terms, the Simply Ming video webcast can be seen as an appetizer to his public television show of... [continue]

We at Bostonist like our Apple computers. Ok, it does distress us a little to hear that our shiny iPod might have been produced in a sweatshop. But, if we turn the volume up really loud, we forget all about it. If you want to hear the latest Apple talk from four local enthusiasts, then MassMUG is the podcast for you. We are always looking on the intarweb for Apple news and rumors. What will... [continue]

The shorts, t-shirts, sandals, and bathing suits have come out of storage and we feel the urge to get outside and have some fun. Maybe your idea of fun is rock-climbing, or maybe hiking, or maybe you just want to have a picnic. Whatever your preference, A Life of Play podcast might be a good place to get some tips and advice on how to best plan your next excursion. A recent episode spoke of... [continue]

So, what's a purl anyway? Bostonist has to admit that we cheated and looked it up in the dictionary. Apparently, a purl is related to knitting, as in a purl stitch. Beyond that, we are clueless. However, if any of you didn't need a dictionary and, quite frankly, are like "Duh, I knew that!" then this week's webcast review might be right up your yarn-filled alley. This week, Bostonist took a llisten to the It's... [continue]
