The Penn Jillette Show

April 8th, 2006

1747A lot of podcasts out there are pretty good. Interesting about some TV shows (like Battlestar Galactica) using podcasts to do audio commentary, just like on a DVD–you record the show, then play back the podcast as the episode airs with the TV’s sound off, and you’ve got your very own instant DVD-style commentary. Cool.

Another thing you can find sometimes are radio shows, for free. Air America did that abortively (though a few shows are put on late), but some shows are podcast up to date, and even commercial-free. One that I enjoy listening to is the Penn Jillette radio show, broadcast (or narrowcast) every weekday from Las Vegas. The show is just talk, and it’s not necessarily right or left wing. He gets political sometimes, but a lot more talks about the magic and juggling business, about his beliefs (he’s an ardent atheist), or just about stuff that comes up in the news or via some other source, and riffs on it with his co-host Michael Goudeau. The show takes calls, or emails to PennRadio@gmail.com.

So if you’re looking for a simple, one-hour talk show (43 minutes in the commercial free version) with some go-to-hell (if it were to exist) attitude, give it a try.

    Hey – Great show – Long time Fan – Blah blah blah – Comment – the fact people can still mustar up arguments to defend either of the two political parties in this country should be the real issue discussed – get over the fact its the same old issues to side track the public from the truth – lets get to the discussion of how will finally CHANGE THINGS!

    Hope in someones lifetime!

    Later – Look forward to see your next live show!
