For those of you who have been in a cave the past several years, you might have somehow escaped the plethora of Neopagan podcasts that are out there for your enjoyment. The podcasting revolution is little else but a blessing to smaller out-of-the-mainstream communities, allowing open venues for expression that would otherwise be nonexistent. There are well over a dozen Neopagan podcasts and many more whose topics encompass subjects of interest to a modern Pagan practitioner. The Proud Pagan Podcasters is an association of many of the Neopagan podcasters and is a great place to get started in the podcasting realm.

Did you know that our podcasts are going so strong that last year, one of ours completed for a special award in Religion and Spirituality where all the other entrants were Christian? Furthermore, a peek at podcast polling sites like Podcast Alley shows that many of ours are in the top fifty, if not the top twenty-five. For an out-of-the-mainstream movement, that's pretty darned impressive isn't it?While the mainstream media might ignore the fact that we exist, we're disproportionally smashing the boards considering the other podcasts are mostly Christian. With over 70% of the American population, you'd think we wouldn't possibly be able to compete with them!

Here's a thread to chat about your favorite casts or perhaps discuss a bit of the content that pops into these shows (though truly, most of the time these deserve their own threads - a fair number of my own topics are inspired from the various podcasts). Do you have any favorites? Critiques and reviews? A particular show or episode you think everyone just must listen to? If you've never even heard of podcasting or were aware that there were so many Neopagan podcasts, this is also a place to ask questions! While I don't quite listen to *all* of them, I'm familiar with many of them so I might be able to direct you to one you'd like! whee

I only listen to Deo's Shadow at the moment. I'm interested in a Pagan-focused guided meditation podcast, if there is one. It's hard to find good ones. Most of them turn out to be Christian-focused or too New-Agey.

Deo's is one of the best ones out there. It's too bad their personal lives prevent them from doing releases on a more regular basis anymore. I do know of one more Neopagan-focused guided meditation podcast (which really borders more on Shamanic journeywork than a guided meditation). It isn't specifically Neopagan, but you'll find the themes cater more to us than other meditation podcasts which approach it from a more Eastern standpoint. Releases are inconsistent, but there are enough meditations already released to keep you busy for a while.

What are PodCasts any way?

A podcast is like a radio show that you download onto your iPod or MP3 player. My mom listens to knitting podcasts, for example.

Cool. I'll look for some myself, but it has to wait till my PC has speakers.
