\"serialLike millions of others, you’ve discovered the true-crime podcast Serial<\/a>.<\/strong> And now you realize that you’ve been missing out<\/strong> on a whole universe of high-quality media which is more convenient than radio, television, or web surfing. Welcome to the revolution!<\/p>\n

At the beginning, podcasts<\/strong> were all done by geeks with cheap microphones. The domain is now being dominated by big media players<\/strong>; Serial, for instance, has heretofore been produced by people associated with National Public Radio, specifically, with the This American Life radio show<\/a> \/ podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the geeks<\/strong> are upping their game. The trinities podcast<\/a> doesn’t sound too bad, though it lacks all the fancy production which would be produced by an NPR style team of people. It’s all produced by yours truly, on a shoestring budget. What countless people have discovered is that production only needs to be so good; it is content that matters.<\/p>\n

And it’s the availability of free, high-quality content that is the power of the podcasting medium. And it’s content you can listen to while driving in your car, folding your laundry, or going for a walk, thanks to your smartphone. And once you subscribe, there is basically no effort involved in getting new episodes.<\/p>\n

The #1 and #2 ways that people get podcasts<\/strong> are through itunes<\/a><\/strong> (on your iphone or using their free program<\/a>\u00a0for Apple or Windows computers) and the website \/ smart phone application Stitcher<\/a><\/strong>. Not being an iphone guy, I use this Android app: Podcast Republic<\/a>. Currently, the #1 way people discover podcasts is by the itunes store. So if you’d like to see the trinities podcast<\/a> show up in the Christianity section<\/a>, and not just Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer, then please subscribe and rate us in itunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, are there any good theology, philosophy of religion, philosophy, religious studies, or\u00a0apologetics podcasts? Yes! Here below\u00a0a few which I listen to fairly regularly. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Please add your links and recommendations in the comments below<\/strong>. What are your<\/em> favorite podcasts in these areas? <\/strong>(I notice that I haven’t yet found one I really like for academic, non-analytic theology… have you?)<\/p>\n
