GRcade

I've found a few interesting podcasts, like Ed Miliband's one, and of course the GRcade one, but want to try and find more, but don't really know where to go.

I've been googling podcast apps/services, and I don't really know how to compare them. There are plenty of reviews, but all they talk about are features like download management and the ability to skip/pick up where you left off. I can't seem to find anything that compare the libraries of content. All I can tell is they're all huge, and most of them seem to share a few big podcasts on their fetured/recommended pages. Is it more like different e-readers where the bigger releases will be on all the services? Are there any that'll offer recommendations based on your tastes and listening history? Or am I best off just getting recommendations from people and downloading them direct?

Not really sure what I'm after podcast wise, but it's good to know that the platform doesn't matter.

So does this mean the podcasts I've been manually downloading will work in one of the apps, too, or do they still only carry selected ones?

Still, Kermode hates the Happytime Murders so I'm finding him a lot more bearable than I used to.

Are there any other good film review podcasts around?

Yep. I was walking to the gym and full on guffawed in some poor French lady's face.

Best thing since his Sunderland song.
