I walk my dog several miles a day. Good for him and good for me. Lots of dog haters out there, so I need to stay alert. Fortunately many of them are addled old women and deranged old men. A wide array of multi colored hair feminists complete the anti-dog army. I hate people that hate dogs!
Anyway, I listen to a lot of podcasts. Most of them stink, but they are, generally, better than nothing. Most are lacking in quality – quality of content and quality of production. Good Grief People. Anyone doing this should be able to afford a decent microphone and set up the guest for success with decent equipment and instructions. I listened to an interview of Magick Balay (not sure why) and apparently he set up his phone across the room and shouted to it the whole time. Pathetic! There are other, more egregious, examples.
Most magic podcasts serve as little more than background white noise while I scoop dog shit. There are exceptions, but they are rare.
There is one I’m always confident in recommending:
This is the serialization of a series of books by John Gaspard, about a magician that solves crimes – Murder She Wrote for geeks. Each episode has an interview with a name magician – frequently a big name, and is the best interviewing available, as they know how to stay out of the way.
Episodes are roughly biweekly and are professionally narrated by John Cunningham
Nothing else comes close.
