Podcasts about pirate radio or DXing?
« on: April 11, 2023, 0449 UTC »
Any recommendations, whether about history,  news,  or both?

Google brings up too many results where pirate radio is meant non-literally (in particular,  a podcast about East Carolina Pirate sports).

Ragnar Danistold's, Piratesweek, (Yeah, I know... I butchered that last name spelling.), podcasts was indeed a great one. Question is, was that even archived anywhere so that someone could download and enjoy today. Today though, you have Andrew Yoder's, Hobby Broadcasting Radio podcasts. Show #5 should be coming up around Tax Time. Oh!!!! Another one is Hobart Radio International, but what I get from that feed link is a document tree.   https://feeds.feedburner.com/archive/pOGc    That makes me wonder if HRI is still running today.

exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”

Thanks! Let me expand my question to ask for recommendations on shows/podcasts that are about DXing in general; news and/or discussion (besides Glenn Hauser's, which I already listen to).

Beyond Glenn Hauser? Well, I know where you can listen to a bunch on-air weekly. Ever listen to the 160M, 1860kHz AM, Gateway WA0RCR station every Saturday night? It's a little rough to listen too, with warm season upon us and lightning crashes in there, but most of those shows have websites to check out, when they announce them.  https://wa0rcr.mbohnhoffinc.com/   Hope that helps.
