the 10th wonder podcast

Heroes, now on its 2nd season, is the best series ever! If you're like me, and you love watching heroes, then I'd definitely recommend you listen to: The 10th Wonder podcast.

I've been listening to it since halfway through the first season and it's a really really great podcast. The folks behind it really know what their up to (seeing as they also do a Smallville podcast) and they always deliver a jam packed podcast every week (sometimes even twice).

They start up with some news about the show, then on to a recap of the most recent episode, then go into an in-depth analysis of the juicy parts including a lot of theories about what's really going on. Plus, they reserve any spoilers to the end of the podcast so people who want to be surprised when they watch aren't disappointed. It's really quite long, averaging about 40 mins and sometimes even more. But once you get hooked, you'll just think there isn't enough of the podcast!

The folks that do the podcast aren't in anyway affiliated with NBC and I think they just do it for fun. It's really amazing how much effort they put into it. Considering they don't really make any money (maybe just ads and stuff).

So, If you want to hear the low down on everything Heroes, just listen to some of the episodes and I think you'll really love it.

Which gives me the idea of starting a podcast of my own. Unfortunately, I don't have the talents and the gift of gab for such an undertaking, so I guess that won't happen (soon).

To listen to the podcast, you can either subscribe using Itunes (for folks who have ipods), download an episode, or even stream it off the net (not that much bandwidth involved since it's just audio). Personally I prefer streaming it (using the great VLC player). That way, I can check out any websites or blogs that are recommended as I'm listening to the podcast.

Also, check out:

• Heroes Revealed - thanks for the link fed
• Greg Beeman blog - producer of heroes with a really great blog about the show
• Heroes TV Show on NBC: NBC Official Site - of course the official site
• The 10th Wonder - one great podcast (available in mp3 or aac)
  

Happy listening!
