When I start updating the weekly L.A. Beer Blast or I am preparing some dinner, I like to listen to podcasts to stay in touch. Now I am picky about what I listen to so a host needs to be engaging and a little funny but also move people along. That’s why I don’t listen to call in shows. So I listen to Good Food on KCRW and This American Life and Planet Money.
Craft beer wise, things get dicey. But I recently checked back in to the world of beer podcasts and found one that holds my attention and though it still has the “two guys with in-jokes talking beer and drinking” which isn’t a great audio combo. There is still more than enough “there” there to make it a good choice to listen to. It is called Beer Geek Radio and you can get it on iTunes or pick it up via their website. August found Brad and Steven knee deep in DIPA’s but there are other shows about beer ticking, summer beers and great but common beers that I found diverting and I think you might too.
