Podcast Reviews: Edgy Reviews from That Podcast Show 35: What’s New Now, James Dobson on Marriage, Stereo Radiation

****For more detail not included in the written reviews please listen to the show to find out much more.*****

What’s New Now

Category: Gadgets

This bi-weekly podcast presented by the conglomerate “Ziff Davis” gives the latest in tech news in ten minutes or less. What’s New Now reports announcements of new gadgets while offering friendly editorial reviews. All of this information is given in a quick and concise manner. The show is well produced and sounds professional. The hosts vary from week to week but are all qualified to lead this show. The irregularity of the hosts, however, keeps the “feel” of the show unstable and uncertain. This can cause confusion for the listener. Also, the East and West Coast Editions advertised each week have not settled into any type of consistency either. Never-the-less, What’s New Now offers a lot of promise and we look forward to hearing more.

Rating: ★★★½☆

James Dobson on Marriage

Category: Kids & Family

This podcast features Dr. James Dobson, who offers advice and encouragement for couples, specifically, those married. Dobson is joined by members from “Focus on the Family” and interview individuals who have had marital and family problems and come through them stronger before. Extremely helpful information that is often “out of the box” and unique is given. Dobson is a good interviewer and keeps his guests on track. On the down side, each episode is only about 15 minutes. Some interviews seemed a bit rushed to fit this time-table, and we would have liked these interviews to be a bit more complete. James Dobson on Marriage is strictly for informative purposes so listeners should not expect to be “entertained.” Overall, this is a positive and professional podcast that will help many.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Stereo Radiation

Category: Comedy

Hosts Capital Z and McG lead this 30 to 45 minute comedy show. As with most comedy podcasts the language and topics are for an adult audience. That said, these two keep the raunchy, sexual talk to a minimum. This does not mean that gross, bodily humor is left out however. Capital Z and McG know one another well, and it shows as they introduce new topics and insert their brand of humor. Lots of extras are put into this show. Each intro is unique and sound effects are used frequently. The hosts find and play funny audio media clips and comment on the reporting. This is usually pretty hilarious. The hosts also have a talent for foreign accents. We appreciate how Stereo Radiation introduces new ideas in varying segments of the show. We also admire Stereo Radiation’s record of publishing new material consistently.
