I'm not sure how I feel about all these Podcast shows springing up everywhere lately. When it was just a couple really bad ones and the only (in my opinion) really good one was PulpMX it was somewhat easy to digest with some planning. Since now everyone and their mom has a weekly Podcast show I find it hard to find time to listen to them all or choosing which one to make time for.
Pulp takes me a week to listen to most of the time, little bits at a time. Monday night for like 4 hours staright thru that late on the east coast is pretty hard.
Do you guys have the same trouble? This seems to be the new way to get the MX/SX news, am I the only one that misses just reading articles? Reading seemed so much more efficient. I don't want to sit at work with headphones on, for those with a family at home forcing them to listen to mx stuff for hours in the evening, or zone out from everyone around with headphones on. If you don't have a long commute alone it's damn hard to listen to hours and hours of podcasts.
What's the driving force behind this new wave? Is it more lucrative for the publishers? Easier to post content? A good idea turned copycats?
Thoughts?

The Shop
Pulp
Main Event
Whiskey Throttle
What makes a good podcast for me is the chemistry between the team. Matthes and his co-hosts, DB and Producer Joe and Grant and Ping all do a fantastic job of making it entertaining regardless of the guests. When it's just one host, I can't get into it. Some of them make me feel like I'm listening to an audio book.
Honorable mention: Weege. I'll listen if he has a guest that I'm interested in hearing from. He's the one exception to my "team chemistry" point above. He does a good job for a guy doing it solo.
But with so many Its Just listen to the ones you like , no different than finding a show to watch on cable tv your definitely not going to watch them all.
I listen to Most Pulp, and MotoXpod, i feel like Darkside is still trying to find his niche but he has gotten better,and is getting some big name people on (Jeremy McGrath)
And he seems like an all around nice guy.
Ive always kinda though the Dmsx guys were asshole's
Just kinda loud and rude call people names , make fun of people for not knowing how to use power tools etc.
But they Do a series with Coach Robb that is Gold
He is a great guy imo for anyone that hasn't listened to the podcasts with him on i would highly recommend.
Jesus Christ.
Just don't listen.
I listen to Pulp, DMXS, MotoXpod, Whiskey Throttle, and Racer X exhaust primarily. I don't listen to the interview shows, recaps, or any of that, just the main shows. I'll listen to main event when I have time, but have dropped it for the most part.
If anyone is looking at doing a new podcast please don't rip off the existing formats. I think we would benefit from a race companion podcast. Also, instead of doing a PulpMX wrap up podcast do a highlights show for those that don't have 4-5 hours to devote to an entire show.

When driving focus on driving.
I listen only when working in my garage on my own free time.
Podcasts are great if you spend a lot of time driving or flying, and Pulp is still the granddaddy and the best one, I have been listening to Matthes pretty much since the beginning. I am just a fan and listener, but I pretty much feel like I know Matthes/Weege/JT as bros. It's an amazing amount of content and entertainment.
I love all the new podcasts and pulp. ...but understand in other lines of work it’s not feasible to listen or stay focused on the pod..
I’ve posted in other threads on this but although I liked whisky throttle at the start it’s starting to run a little flat and not reliable , 447 is pretty good but sorry to pick on him but Ricky I think is wearing his welcome matt out a bit, as he is commentating in SX so he’s very repetitious.
Weeges podcast podcast is a bit of a punish but at least it’s every week and straight after the last SX race and pretty good questions although he’s a bit of a brown noser ?
Dmxs is actually solid and I rely enjoy there content including from coach Rob.
But the winner is clearly anything from Mathes ..
Him and Jt and wedge are a hit but also Keefer and other crew are solid and funny and easy listening.
There new live stuff on stage is awesome and hilarious and his weekly stuff is great. Ageeed some are too long , but I just switch off when I’m bored and move to another podcast ..
That’s the beauty of so much to choose from .. for me it’s a win win ..
Vlogs from AC, Deano, Tyler Entiknap. This isn't the dumbest thread I've seen but it's up there.
