Point me to good blogs and podcasts Inflate your Upload Space

Lately, I have discovered two things on the Net I probasbly sohlud have discovered much earlier: Blogs and podcasts. These two technologies surely looks promising! Already, I have found a few blogs(in particular) and (some less in numbers) podcasts.

My question to you is: Can you point me to some, in you poinion, good blogs and podcasts? I'm interested in editions covering politics, Christianity and history, either in English or in Norwegian/Swedish/Danish. Thank you!

What is a blog? Years ago I used to think it's just some kind of diary, just online. Nowadays it is used in press like it's nothing more than a forum.

That's because they don't have a clue.

My friend thinks he's interesting enough to have a blog:

Oh - and he speaks Swedish (sort of). So throw some at him and see what happens.

It's your own piece of reality media. Most people aren't famous enough to have their own show, like Jessica Simpson, so they pollute the Interweb with stories of their lives.

It doesn't necessarily make it interesting on its own, but as a media development, it was interesting to look at.

I don't know, but I reckon it's a bit similar to why people watch reality TV. They don't know the person(s) involved, but feel some kind of attachment and urge to follow his/her/their life.

Not all blogs are diaries of personal life.

The blogs that the press makes a fuss about are those that focus on reporting and discussing political events, not last night's date.

I'm not interested in those. Read my original post, you'll see what I asked for.

A blog is anything that has entries with a timestamp and an RSS/Atom newsfeed. Slashdot is a blog, for instance.

A good French blog is http://maitre.eolas.free.fr It's about the life of a lawyer. Lots of interesting things about French laws, a few affairs (f.e. Guillermito, who wrote stuff before the word blog was even known).
He keeps many things technical, and there's a forum to answer or ask questions, but that's mostly Eolas talking. His blog would probably be more useful to those who want to hearn Fench law than most university courses.

Gaming Steve is my favourite: http://www.gamingsteve.com/

His podcasts feature gaming news, reviews, and other interesting tidbits.

I also listen to radio shows from my national broadcaster stations, Radio National and Triple J.

Radio National has an interesting science show: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/science/ss/default.htm

I like listening to podcasts while I clean or perform other dull tasks.
