More on Podcasts

Back to Podcasts, if you're not into comics (gasp) but are into music, I'd recommend my favorite Rock podcast, the Rock Dungeon. Hosted by Heath and Michael, the show covers music news, music reviews, and indepth coverage of select bands and band histories. Earlier episodes were actually dedicated to specific bands (one per show), but more recently the guys have been covering more ground each episode. Take a look at the earlier shows to see if there's a band they cover that you are into - the shows are really good. I highly recommend the Dio episode.

What I like most about the show is the humour and personalities of the hosts. They are regular guys, one bringing the humour, one bringing the knowledge (not that the others are lacking in each area, rather, each brings specific talents to the table). So this comes highly recommended. If you like rock, or metal, give it a try.

The bands covered tend to range from harder to more hair band stuff. Typically they play a couple bands I like, and a couple I don't, but that's actually a pretty good ratio for me. Plus I've discovered some new bands (like Rainbow) I now love, so even if the hosts sucked, it would still be worth it. Actually, that's not true, I've heard some other podcasts that I've stopped listening to 5 minutes in because the hosts were awful, good music or no.

But the Rock Dungeon does not suck, quite the opposite. It is the real deal, give it a try!
