Zune has a steady flow of new podcast series coming into the Zune Podcast Directory and many really great ones never get the deserved audience attention for a variety of reasons.  So, starting with this post will be a regular flow on this blog about new and cool podcasts that are the best of the best. 

Here is this week’s list.

Sorry, but I already get enough Obama propaganda from the MSM without loading my Zune with more.

Nice write up. I'm going to have to check out that SuperNews. Great to see you back.

I'm always find some new cool podcasts to download via Zune Software.  It has to be my most used feature.  One thing that I hope you folks consider from a useability stand point..it can be difficult to keep track of all this incoming content.  Hopefully you enhance the Podcast Collection view to be similiar to the default Videos Collections view.

Thanks!

I've tried downloading the Smosh video podcast, but there's something wrong with a bunch of their videos. The newest ones are fine, but a large portion of their podcasts in the middle of the collection cannot be played in the Zune software...I'd really like this fixed, please! =)

On a Zune blog though, really?

The best piece of entertainment by far that I've found thanks to my Zune is the Decoder Ring Theatre podcast.  Every other Friday you get a new 30 minute adventure.  These inclue "the pulse-pounding thrills of The Red Panda Adventures, the noir stylings of Black Jack Justice and the grab-bag of suspense, science fiction and comedy found in our Showcase. Each episode is a stand-alone story and you can begin wherever you'd like!"

Finding these shows was worth every penny that my Zune cost. I hope others will check out The Red Panda Adventures and Black Jack Justice!

Monocle Weekly is a must and you've got to give it a try.

I search for new podcast every week and enjoy many. Obama's audio cast is great. My favorites seem to stop without notice, like Zune Insider. Is there a way to know when a podcast is dead?

No way to know why a podcast stops producing episodes. The Zune Insider podcast is coming back soon.

Rob, do me a fav, please?  The next Zune software engineer you pass, tackle him and tell him that us bandwidth challenged folks need an option to control the number of feeds allowed to download at one time.  It's rather frustrating to get only 3 minutes of Buzz Out Loud because of a bandwidth crunch.  

thanks for this obama podcasts
