My favorite Poscasts

I enjoy Americast….... very informal but highly analytical and logical from informed persons
The latest podcast on Afghanistan was a great welcome surprise. We all forget often that nothing lasts forever so is the America’s longest war. The longer things last the more our intentions get diluted. The decision to withdraw was a no brainer and whatever you think of the implementation no plan will come without serious issues. History will tell but there are lessons for all, the powerful and the meek, the resolve of each groups involved. People of Afghanistan are at the crossroads and only they can decide what to do next. What ever they decide will surely reverberate across the world, perhaps soon. Seems to me that the Talibans don’t forget

World of Wisdom was an encounter for me a few nights ago when I woke up in the middle of my sleep with my phone on. Excellent and wise advise to real life situations and real persons. The relief from their worries were obvious. Life lessons are individual, however if these podcasts can be shared more to many, the impact will surely be far reaching which I hope is one of the aims

Business Daily is a great program. Contemporary! Helps to make meanings of current directions. Businesses and Leaders can learn greatly from the views expressed, perhaps more than theories from business schools

Please add the ability to queue individual episodes from different podcasts

Really like the app overall and the interface. Just two feature requests: 1. Please add the ability to create your own queue of episodes from different podcasts, rather than automatically create a queue of unplayed episodes of the same podcast. That would be great for situations where you want to queue up multiple episodes for a long journey or something similar 2. For podcasts, map the default actions for the "Previous" and "Next" buttons on a Bluetooth headset or CarPlay to actually skip 20 seconds backwards/forwards, because that is what I actually want to do for a 30-60 min long podcast, instead of start from the very beginning or abruptly start playing whatever's next. Thanks!

Gerry Anderson podcasts are superb.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to listen to Gerry Anderson podcasts from the US. I just found the podcasts a few weeks ago. His passing left so many Ulster and expat folk in grief. He was an amazing entertainer. His like may not be seen again. I don’t know if Sean Coyle will be allowed to fill Gerry’s shoes. I hope so. He is a great entertainer in his own right. I can only imagine the Anderson banter if he could opine on how Shan would fare. I don’t know if he has his own “wee show”. I hope so. Does Geordie still show up?
