There is a term for a book done as a podcast: [[Podiobooks]]. When a [[Fanfic]] is given this treatment, it's known as a [[Podfic]].

 

== Anime and Manga ==

** Inspired [http://pamachu-productions.blogspot.com Crap-Fic Theater], another podcast series that features audiobooks of (in)famously bad anime fanfiction.

* [http://www.animejamsession.com Anime Jam Session.] A podcast dedicated to anime, music, gaming, and much more. They also bring news from the aforementioned worlds, as well as [[Con Recap|convention reports]]. Free to download on iTunes, and one of the regulars is a known Troper.

 

 

== [[Fan Works]] ==

== [[Film]] ==

* ''[[Doug Loves Movies]]''. [[Doug Benson]] goes to the [[Upright Citizens Brigade|UCB]] theater and talks with guests about movies, at least until they find something funnier to talk about. They also play a slightly complicated game using [[Leonard Maltin]]'s reviews.

* "[http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/too-much-film-school/id493635310 Too Much Film School]" is a bi-weekly podcast by Matt Price & Casey Coleman, two guys who, you guessed it, attended [[You Fail Film School Forever|film school]] together USC. Once a week, the release a long, [[Motor Mouth|long]] episode discussing a feature film. Every other episode is a shorter (but still long) dissection of a trailer.

* [http://web.me.com/normsherman/Site/Podcast/Podcast.html The Drabblecast], a high-quality fiction magazine showcasing unusual stories from contemporary [[Speculative Fiction]] authors. They allow users to submit 100-word stories called drabbles (or 100-character "twitfics") to the show via e-mail, which differentiates it from other fiction podcasts. Also worth noting are their annual Lovecraft Month and Nigerian Scam Spam Contest (in which contestants write their own spam e-mail in a bid for a cash prize and the hope of reaching notoriety via e-mail spamming), and their semiregular [[Drabble News]] segments reporting on unusual events around the world.

* [[Podiobooks]] hosts a lot of free podcast novels in a variety of genres. Think of them like free [[Serial Novel|serial novels]] in audio form. Several of the hosted authors went on to score publishing deals on the strength of their online fanbases.

 

== Live Action Television ==

* [[Battlestar Galactica]] had RDM's podcasts. Partly due to the fact that Moore was one of the earlier adopters of the technology the podcast are very informal and are usually simply his running commentary as he re-watches the episode. Some complain that the sound quality is somewhat varied and there are often interruptions from things like Moore's children, pets and outside noises. His wife Terry AKA Mrs Ron is a frequent guest star and other member of the writing team and the actors from the show appear as well on occasion

* Mirrorball Mayhem, run by the same people as Subject:Cinema. The first podcast for [[Dancing With the Stars]].

== Real Life ==

* [http://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/ The History of Rome] podcast took a lighthearted approach to charting the entire history of the [[Roman Empire]], including humorous pop culture references to major inaccuracies in films about Rome. The episodes discussing how [[Gladiator|Maximus]] most certainly did not defeat Commodus and restore democracy to Rome, and the episode where the narrator mixes up the origin stories for Spartacus and [[I Am Spartacus|Kirk Douglas]] are particularly good examples of this.

** In a similar vein is [http://www.skeptoid.com Skeptoid], a podcast focusing on examining urban legends, folktales, unusual history, and pseudoscience from a skeptical point of view all while challenging listeners to improve their critical thinking. It's hosted by Dr. Brian Dunning, and one of its high points is his [[Deadpan Snarker]] take on each topic. If you're a science buff, a paranormal enthusiast, or just want to learn cool stories it's definitely worth a listen.

** [[Podcast/Got Faded Japan|Got Faded Japan]] is a similar podcast, but with Japanese residents presenting heinous stories from within Japan. Notable for being descended from a 'zine and having more of a focus on counterculture and art than shocking stories.

 

== Tabletop Games ==

*** ''Limited Resources'' is for the Limited players, and the nuts-and-bolts Spike.

 

== Video Games ==

* ''[[Podcast/Idle Thumbs|Idle Thumbs]]''

** ''Film Sack''; discussing bizarre movies both good and bad.

** ''The Morning Stream''; as the name implies, a morning talk radio show streamed to a live audience.

* There seems to be a change in leading Pokémon podcasts every generation. From 2005 to 2007, ''[http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Bulbacast:About Bulbacast]'' led the field during the ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby and Sapphire]]''-era as the first successful Pokémon podcast. After they went into hiatus, two guys from Brooklyn who call themselves "Jowy" and "KC" came in with ''[http://pallettribune.com WTPT - Pokémon Radio]'', and their podcast would end up being the leading Pokécast during ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond and Pearl]]'''s run in the U.S. They've stopped producing new episodes after a downer year in 2010, which left the #1 Pokémon podcast spot open for the current leader ''[http://pkmncast.com It's Super Effective]'' to take for [[Pokémon Black and White|Generation V]].

** Can I have my cheque now? ;)

* [http://www.webcomicbeacon.com The Webcomic Beacon] discusses the art of making webcomics from an amateur/hobbyist point of view and also regularly brings in guests from all points on the spectrum from hobbyist to professional.
