For those of you who like to go astray from listening to music at work. What type of Podcast, Books, etc.., do you enjoy listening to other than the sweet beep of the CMM. I want to find new things to listen to along side with the things I already enjoy. With Podcasts I enjoy Tin Foil Hat, Broken Simulation, The Free Thinkers Society, No Carnival Parking, Sasquatch Chronicles, The Confessionals, Hammer Lane Legends, and The Dollop. When I get all caught up with those I let them build back up so I have a good supply, so I will listen to audio books. I am currently going through the Joe Ledger book series. The same author has the Rot & Ruin series that is also very good, and The Broken Lands series. Some other books I like are Devolution, Unwind, Compound, Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead "Series", and the Life as we knew it series. Please post your favorite podcast's and books!
We are legion (We are Bob). Sea of Rust. The Spaceship next door. Chronicles of St. Mary's
Lots of Syfy for me too. That Bobiverse series is great. I must have listened to all of them a few times now. I find it easier to listen to books I already heard before while programming. I tend to listen to new stuff while I commute and re-runs while I program.
I haven't heard of the other titles, but I'll have to check them out. I have been a big fan of audiobooks and podcasts for quite a while. I currently have 357 titles in my Audible account; been doing it since the MP3 player days. I like a lot of Scott Meyer, Andy Weir, Peter Clines, Daniel Suarez, Isaac Asimov, and Steven Gould books. Lots of other stuff too including nonfiction, but those are the ones I have repeated the most.
kingsld1, I agree, Bobiverse book 4 was only ok. I don't hate it. Really, I didn't even expect it. The first 3 were a pretty good self contained story. It was a genuine surprise to me when it was released. It had lots of good stuff, but the story itself kinda dragged. Too much focus on traveling through Heaven's River.
Sea of Rust sounds awesome, what a premise. That's going on my to listen list.
Spaceship next door could be fun. I may look into that. I'm normally ok with most 3rd rate stuff.
I'm surprised I never heard of the Chronicles of St Mary's. Strange that Audible hasn't pushed it at me before. Apparently Jodi Taylor is a writing machine, 41 books in under a decade! Crazy
