Looking for your next podcast fix? IJNet lists nine podcasts for journalists

I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts lately. Have you? The breakout success of Serial has made podcasting the hot media item of the moment, and in my case a new halfway decent smartphone has contributed to my newfound podcastphilia.

I’ve been listening to a lot of This American Life, Love + Radio and The Moth, and in the right mood I’ll listen to interviews on Fresh Air or WTF With Marc Maron.

If you’re into podcasting and journalism, the International Journalists’ Network, IJNet, has a post for you. It’s headlined Nine podcasts for journalists:

Commenting on the rise of the popularity of podcasts, Doug Mitchell, founder of NPR’s Next Generation Radio, said that the value of podcasts has finally caught up with a society that is far more mobile than it was when podcasting launched in the late 90s.

“Those who appreciate good storytelling, a more narrative form, will always have a unique audience. Think those who listen to books on tape,” Mitchell told IJNet, adding that the opportunity now lies in reaching everyone who has a smartphone.

IJNet compiled a list of journalism podcasts that media practitioners can listen to for on-the-go tips and inspiration.

I’ve only heard one of them, PBS Mediashift’s Mediatwits, hosted by Mark Glaser, with whom I’ve had coffee. It’s good.

I’m looking forward to listening to the other eight. I’d like to hear what you think of them too.
