        The crew behind the Best Show, one of my must-listen podcasts, has started a deep-dive series into all of the output from the members of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Tom Scharpling is a huge Neil Young fan, he can't stand some of the other members, so it's an interesting listen, and funny in parts. It's got me going back and listening to a lot of CS&N/CSN&Y, and old Neil Young. I don't know if they're all going to be on the free podcast feed, but the first two are right now. They're called So Far

            I've stumbled across The Socially Distant Podcast by following Simon Price on Twitter.

            Its presented by Elis James, Mike Bubbins and Steff Garrero. They pick a couple of Youtube clips each, a book each and one of them picks a documentary (all sports related) and they basically just chat about them like you would in the pub.

            Very funny at times, and they've linked to some brilliant clips. I'm on episode 7 of 10 so far.

              Brian Butterfield has a podcast in preparation:

                The Socially Distant Sports Bar is the name of it, I've never heard of Mike Bubbins before but I'm looking forward to this.

                  Thanks AE - I realised I'd got it wrong when I listened to two more after posting.

                  I'd only vaguely heard of Bubbins before, but he's had me in absolute stitches.

                    Mike Calvin is an outstanding host on football podcasts, offering calm reflection and well-thought argument and a voice you could listen to all day. Why he has to endure Adrian Clarke on the BT Football Writers Podcast, lord only knows. It's chalk and cheese.

                    Clarke is trite, vague, bland, wanting to be the everyman of football punditry and succeeding in his dullness. Unfortunately, too many times to have tired to listen to one of those podcasts, but have to turn off Clarke's so-inoffensive-it's-offensive brand of naff cliched nothingness. I've never learned anything from hearing Clarke on that podcast, nor the Totally Football League Podcast (which I no longer subscribe to, Clarke and Parkin together are utterly nothing and non-informed.

                    I've struggled through the recent BT Football Writers pod 'Who is your football hero?', and Stafford-Bloor and Calvin offer some passionate, informed and interesting views, while Clarke says nothing of interest and everything you already knew he'd say.

                    Had to get that off my chest.

                        For what it’s worth, Cognitive Dissonance is my very favourite podcast. Angry and funny in equal measures.

                            I've started listening to Frontier War Stories, the first two episodes were very interesting.

                            "Boe Spearim is a Gamilaraay & Kooma radio host and podcaster who lives in Brisbane. Frontier War Stories - a podcast dedicated to truth-telling about a side of Australian that has been left out of the history books. Each episode Boe will speak with different Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people about research, books and oral histories which document the first 140 years of conflict and resistance. These times are the Frontier Wars and these are our War Stories."

                              As a history buff, i will look out for that.

                                  On our road trip we started listening to California City, which is an NPR and LAist podcast. I know that we have previously had some people comment on the place California City... anyway, it's absolutely fascinating, and tells much more of a story than I knew before, both about the past of the place and what's going on there now. For those who don't know, California City - the place - is physically the third largest city in California, but has a tiny population and although it's all laid out as roads it's mostly just desert dust. I think there are a handful more episodes still to be released.

                                  Also started listening to Missing In Alaska from iHeartRadio, which tells a story I'd never even heard about where the leader of the house and Alaska's only congressman vanished in a small plane in 1972. Basically, it's as if Nancy Pelosi vanished into thin air. Yet somehow I never knew anything about it.

                                    Hale Boggs had only been Speaker for two years before he disappeared and those years were very much consumed by the 72 election, Vietnam and the early stages of Watergate. He was also succeeded by Tip O'Neil, who soon made everyone forget that Boggs had evere held the gavel.

                                    He was succeeded by his wife, who served something like ten consecutive terms, and is now sometimes better known as Cokie Roberts's father.

                                    Boggs had expressed displeasure with J Edgar Hoover before his disappearance, and there were always those who believes those two things were related.

                                      I'm only a few episodes in, but the podcast does seem to be tending towards conspiracy-ish...although I think not coming down on the side of the Hoover conspiracy.

                                        Work-related uses of my time have me listening to more music industry podcasts. There is a podcast about the making of the song "Who Let the Dogs Out," which for me is a horrible song but the story about the making of the song is fascinating. This podcast also features another episode about the short window during which the Beatles broke in America. That episode is also really interesting.

                                          I mostly listen to podcasts about comedy or religion or both.

                                          One that anyone might like is Nadia Bolz Weber's "The Confessional." People - including some famous people - come on to talk about something they did that they're not proud of.

                                          Today it's Abby Wambach talking about her DUI and addiction issues.

                                              Thanks for that, I'll give that a go - I read an article on that song recently (which may be connected), and yes the back story was far more interesting than the song itself.

                                                .....I've since listened to the Baha Men episode, the Beatles one and the first part of the story of the Twist. Good stuff, he is a a good story teller and obviously on the Baha Men one he was at the centre of the story. It did feature one of my favourite music/radio documentary tropes "they played the song and the phones went CRAZY with people ringing in" but I can forgive that and at least he didn't say "the switchboard LIT UP". I like the general theme of the series of how things became famous quickly, and the recurring aspect of how even apparently overnight sensations can be carefully planned.

                                                  If you enjoyed the Baha Men episode, you might enjoy this: "The Case of the Missing Hit - A man in California is haunted by the memory of a pop song from his youth. He can remember the lyrics and the melody. But the song itself has vanished, completely scrubbed from the internet."

                                                  I think it's the only time I've ever completely stopped what I was doing to listen to a podcast.

                                                    Thanks, think that may have been mentioned on here before so about time I checked it out. I'm burning through podcasts at quite a rate at the moment so always open to new stuff.
