I took a look at my iTunes podcast list today and realized I have some really strange selections in there. While I have a bunch of casts to which I listen, there are a number that I have come to label as my ‘guilty pleasures’ (gp). These casts are not the ones I feel I should subscribe to. The are all slightly risque, off topic (?), out-there, or somehow rub my belief system in some way.

Here are my main gps in no particular order:

Ask a Ninja - Off the wall, tangential, bizarre, fun, brilliant. If you want a ninja’s perspective on life (or grizzly death), then this video cast might be for you.

The Onion Radio News - A faux daily news report that runs about one minute. It is really out there. It can be offensive, harsh, insightful, and just plain weird. If you find your “weird quotient” is low on any particular day, this might be for you.

Rory Blythe - Smartest Man in the World - A weekly rant essay. The cast has nothing to do with intelligence, often it is about the exact opposite (umm, whatever that is). Well written, pretty well produced, and often causes me to laugh out loud (this is one of my guiltier pleasures).

Diggnation - Two young guys sitting around, drinking, talking tech, and ocassionally throwing around the F bomb - what else can I say - a definate gp.

The Princeton Review Vocabulary Minute - Easiest to justify since both ‘Princeton’ and ‘Vocabulary’ are in the title. However, if you listen to the cast, you will know why it is a gp. It is musical, erudite, and subtly bizzare.

I’m guessing we all have these guilty pleasures. I’d love to hear about yours.
