Here are some instructions for "podcast spelunking"
|I guess the main pointer is: People who make podcasts want to be | |famous(ish) because they're putting stuff on archive.org, but they're also | |regular people who move on after a number of episodes and if you try to | |contact them too far in the future, they might not like that (oops). | |There's a kind of grey area between wanting to be famous on the Internet | |and being a private person. Some interesting people are damaged and | |skittish. As interesting as podcasters may seem, proceed with caution | |in contacting them. | | | |More positively, my technique is to go here: | |https://archive.org/details/opensource_audio | | | |Then click "podcast" or "Podcast" under "Topics & Subjects" in the | |sidebar on the left. | | | |Then choose to sort by views, and make them go ascending by clicking the | |little triangle pointing up. | |Then, I look through the field of one view podcasts (or two or three | |view if I get that far) and see if any of the episode titles appeal to me. | | | |I download what I want, saving links to the archive.org details page in | |Google+. Transfer to MP3 player and listen when I have time (often while | |trying to sleep).
