5 Podcasts

Here is a description of a few of the podcasts I regularly listen to and would recommend:

1. The Word Daily scripture, and preaching on the scriptures, done by members of the Order of Preachers, otherwise known as Dominicans. A good source for meditation on the day's scripture passages.

2. Orange Lounge Radio A weekly video game podcast full of fun. Unlike many gaming podcasts this one is done live on Allgames.com with live chat and phone calls. They address video games and releases around the world and aren't afraid to express their opinions or address controversies. The random stuff that comes up can be hilarious as well.

3. Paranormal Podcast This podcast has interviews with people regarding items related to the paranormal or supernatural. The host is always polite and never makes even the craziest guests seem as crazy as they really are. He also has a respect for religion that other paranormal-themed podcasts often lack.

4. Catholic in a Small Town This is a weekly podcast done by a real-life Catholic couple. They don't try to hide their humanity by only talking about religious topics. This is a podcast that usually has me laughing out loud.

5. The Writer's Almanac This daily podcast, narrated by Garrison Keillor, gives a little snippet of history, usually about an artist or author, followed by a poem recitation. Though a short podcast I usually accumulate several weeks' worth from the feed and let the combination of Keillor's voice and melodic poetry send me to sleep at night.
