This is something I have been meaning to do for a while: a list of some of our favourite podcasts to fill a rainy day downloading, as I do my bit to spread the word by way of thanks for all the fantastic music they have deposited on our server. I just hope your bandwidth can take it!
Allez-Allez
No surprises here: but our friends Allez-Allez' podcast series is hard to beat. As well as a fair chunk of the Border Community crew (Avus, Nathan Fake - twice, Wesley Matsell, Ricardo Tobar, Luke Abbott), they have managed to lock down a startling array of past guests including Four Tet (twice), Animal Collective, Lindstrom, Lone, Kelpe, Joakim, Zombie Zombie, The Black Dog, Hot Chip, Tobias Thomas, 20 Jazz Funk Greats, George Demure (got to love the singing!), Principles of Geometry, Ada, One Little Plane, Rone, Luke Vibert and Mum, as well as finding the time to do their own solo mixes. And don't we just love them for it.
Marvin Suicide
Marvin Suicide's half hour weekly show for London's wonderful Resonance FM is also available as a collectible take-home podcast; but what is most amazing about each top-notch tune-packed dispatch is that all of the music featured has been found for free and legal download on the internet (from netlabels and the like), without ever having to compromise on quality. Marvin has a funny farmer-voice too, although I suspect that he might be putting that on for the radio...
Phrench Phries
The amusingly-named Phrench Phries is a podcast series organised by tastemaking French PR company Phunk, and although it is only 14 episodes old, they have already managed to notch up an altogether decent selection of guests including Miss Kittin, The Hacker, Zombie Nation, Sinner DC and A Mountain Of One. That will do me!
Vessel Music
I am not sure that I quite understand what the point of the rest of the Vessel Music site is, but there, camouflaged amongst the pictures of their favourite records, lurks some real gold in Guest Mix podcast form. Some of the usual Border Community suspects (Fairmont, Ricardo Tobar) lurk alongside a selection of guests that is right up our street, like Margot, Operator, 7oi, Arp, Led Er Est, Vincent Oliver, Harald Bjork, Rone, Lucy, Sleeparchive and Ex-Pylon. Not a bad run for a site that is barely six months old.
You Are Hear
Another former Resonance FM gem (now broadcasting on Totally Radio) that is also available as a portable podcast, You Are Hear specialises in new music of all alternative persuasions and does a nice sideline in recording sessions and live performances. Delve deep into the archives and you will uncover sessions from Silver Apples, Tony Conrad, Junior Boys and DJ Scotch Egg as well as an interview with Bob Moog: so I suggest that you set that subscription up now, and await further instructions once Magz and Jim return from their extended maternity leave break.
Enjoy, and do feel free to add your own podcast tip-offs in the comments!

One of my favorites is Tycho's http://blog.iso50.com/ Not so much a pod casting blog but the Scott & crew posts some really great music along with its daily design posts.
