What is a podcast?

A podcast is a audio visual medium to get your ideas, opinions and other things across.

I like podcasts, because I can listen to them while driving or closing my eyes and in the same time follow a story or learn about ... a lot of things.

My two favourite podcasts are a story driven one and one where I learn from.

Welcome to Night Vale is a story podcast. It is about the town Night Vale, which encounters a lot of weird things. Weird to us, outsiders at least. Aliens, angels, and bloody sacrifices are an everyday thing in Night Vale. And everything is told by the faithful radio host Cecil. What I love about this podcast, is the way absurdity is made normal. Flying people eating aliens? What is so weird about that? Encounter an entire civilisation of tiny people in your bowling ally? It is a news item, but not for long. The writers are original, creative and I always look forward to listen to a new episode.

Myths and Legends podcast is like the name says, about myths and legends from around the world. People have made up fantastical stories during the course of this world. And some are spectacularly weird. I love to listen to these stories, because it gives an insight into the mind of other cultures. The host tells the stories really well and I will borrow several items of the list to incorporate into my comic.
