I'm just about to post another exciting edition of the destruct\hour (calm down, please, you're embarrassing yourself), but I thought it might be a good time to recommend some of the other podcasts I listen to.
Pretty much the only podcast that comes close to being like the destruct\hour is the Muzak for Cybernetics Mixtape, which is run by a couple of incredibly dry Canucks who have an amazing range of new music to play. How these guys find the time to listent ot so much new music is beyond me, I listen to music almost continuously and it still takes me weeks to digest a new album. The voicebreaks are insanely droll, the boredom almost becomes amusing.
Close second is the BuRBS podcast, which is a mixtape of British independent bands, put together by Barry Burbs, who seems to have been collecting obscure British music for decades. He's obviously very passionate about British music, but also keeps his voicebreaks to a minimum.
I'd also highly recommend Claire Sturgess' podcast, which isn't updated often but it always a quality listen when it is.
If you're looking for a non-music show, Nobody Likes Onions is racist, sexist, homophobic, right-wing, fat...and hilarious! Takes a few listens to get into but it has had me gripping my stomach in laughter on many occasions.
And finally, much job is to be found in Mark Kermode's weekly film reviews. Here's a guy who gets really mad at bad films. His review of Little Man this week had me laighing out loud.
That should tide you over until the next show!
