Podcast Advent Day 20

It’s the Christmas season and with that comes the season of Advent. Advent is a time of year when we look forward to Christmas and reflect upon the gift of Christ’s birth. This is usually marked off by lighting candles (weekly or daily) and calendars full of chocolate. It usually also includes some kind of devotional. I’m not going to provide a devotional but what I do plan to offer this month may be of interest to you.

This advent I thought I would provide a virtual calendar of podcasts that may interest you. These are all podcasts that I listen to currently and/or highly recommend that you listen to if your interests align with the hosts.

If you follow my Twitter feed you know that I like MMA and when it comes to listening to podcasts about MMA I turn to the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.  Each week for 2 hours (I know, right) Ariel covers the latest MMA news with fellow reporters Ben Fowlkes, Mike Chiappetta, and sometimes Gareth Davies.

The show is recorded live every Monday at 1 PM eastern where Ariel does interviews with fighters from various promotions and takes listener calls live.

If you like MMA and want to hear some of the best interviews around, check out the MMA Hour.

You may notice there is a lack of video podcasts on my list.  That’s because I do nearly all of my podcast listening in my car.  However, I don make sure to catch Smarter Every Day when it’s released.  OK, it’s not really a  podcast but I can bend the rules a little.

Destin’s 5-10 minutes videos that show up on his channel every week are YouTube gold.  Destin’s videos cover various scientific and real-life topics that are sure to stimulate your brain.  Some of the slow-motion footage he’s captured is fantastic.

Check out Smarter Every Day for science-y goodness that’s sure to tickle your brain.

The Once Upon A Time Fan Podcast hosted by Jeff and Colleen Roney is a mus-listen if you’re a fan of the television show.  Each week, Jeff and Colleen discuss the current episode and provide insight into each episode with their theories about the show.

This is another new podcast in my playlist.  I listened to an episode and it actually got me interested in watching the show.  Jeff and Colleen don’t force their personalities through the show.  They’re genuine and entertaining at the same time.

If you’re hooked on Once Upon A Time, you don’t want to miss Jeff and Colleen’s Once Upon A Time Fan Podcast.

The Sci-Fi Christian is a fairly new podcast in my rotation but it’s one I make sure not to miss when it’s released.  Hosted by Matt Anderson and Ben De Bono, The Sci-Fi Christian takes a look at various sci-fi topics from a Christian perspective.

Each week Matt and Ben cover sci-fi news, quote Stan Lee, and cover topics like dreams, time travel, The Lord of the Rings.  While the podcast normally lasts about 90 to 120 minutes, a recent format change will help it fit into your schedule a much easier.

Listen to Matt and Ben every week on The Sci-Fi Christian.  Who knows, you might even here me on the podcast every once in a while too.

PID Radio, hosted by Derek and Sharon Gilbert, peers into the dark side of the news and tries to bring to light some of the news that “big media” outlets seem to conveniently ignore.  Derek’s experience as an afternoon-drive radio host comes through as he and Sharon navigate through the news to try and undercover the news behind the news.

Conspiracy theories, numerology, and global economic domination abound throughout their look behind the white-washed veil of big media.  Derek and Sharon bring the light of Christ to bear on stories that most news organizations wouldn’t touch with a 39-1/2 foot pole.  Put on your tinfoil hat and listen to PID Radio today.
