New Home For Dorks

Yo. So after eight years (I think maybe it's more actually) of posting stuff on this Blogger blog, I finally got a website to move the Dorktown Podcast stuff over to: dorktownpodcast.com

This move includes Dorktown's monthy Podcast Rankings. Plus there will be more blog posts about stuff that relates to Dorktown and podcasting in general and we will be posting our other podcasts on the network (Flowing With Famous and The Perfect Pour) too.

We still we be posting the Dorktown's here first just because that's where the iTunes and Stitcher gets the feed from. But once we figure out how to move those without the world ending, that will be moved to.

So come check out the new home, nothing fancy, just dorkass stuff as usual.

DORKTOWN'S TOP PODCASTS FROM OCTOBER, 2012

Big change up to Dorktown's Top Podcasts lists. We've really been getting deeper into 'indie' podcasts. So much in fact that we felt the need to expand it out to a top 25 instead of top 10. More exposure to more podcast can't be a bad thing, yeah? We kept the 'mainstream' at 10 because, hey, they really don't need the help from little ol' us. Still we like showing what we're listening to. Also, we graduated Doodie Calls to the Mainstream pods - figured they're getting big enough to be mainstream now.

So here we go. Everything is linked up so be sure and investigate any pods you may not have heard of. Check 'em and listen!:

Dorktown's Top Podcasts From September, 2012

What are the top podcasts Dorktown listened to and enjoyed during September 2012? Well the indie podcasts are becoming stronger and stronger and more interesting. Not a lot of change to this month's mainstream list. Let's have a look at them both.

In mainstream, the continuing storyline of "Emo Kev" gave Smodcast a big boost this month. But Ear Candy was able to hold it off as they are trying some new formatting and beginning to post two shows a week. WTF has fallen into a bit of a rut at the moment, it'll be interesting to see if it comes back on continues to slide.

DORKTOWN MAINSTREAM PODCAST TOP TEN - SEPTEMBER, 2012

1. Ear Candy 
2. Smodcast
3. Todd Glass
4. Professor Blastoff
5. Nerdist
6. Mohr Stories
7. WTF - With Marc Maron
8. ESPN Fantasy Underground
9. You Made It Weird
10. The Session

Others receiving votes: The Duncan Trussell Family Hour, Metal Comedy Midgets.

In indie, keeping the #1 spot is a show about taking a crap...yep. But Firnecast is still knocking at the door. And look out for Tiny Odd Conversations as they were featured in iTunes "New and Noteworthy" which launched them into the Top 30 of comedy podcasts on iTunes. Crazy stuff. We may have to put them on the Mainstream List if this keeps up.

Dorktown Top Ten: Podcasts For May

Dorktown has decided to start a monthly list of what podcasts the Dorktown Podcast crew and select Dorktown listeners have been enjoying (or not enjoying) over the past month. We'll try and average them out the best we can and rank them - although I'm pretty bad at math so don't freak the fuck out if you think something should be ranked higher. It'll be a combo of amount of listening and enjoyment from said listening.

There will be a Overall Top Ten and a (since we are/love local and indie) Indie Top Ten. And so we're clear, if you're a regular iTunes Top 100-er and/or are part of a major podcast network and have a sponsor (basically if Stamps.com is mentioned on your podcast), then you aint indie (and you probably don't give two shiz about if you're ranked here).

So let's give this a shot.
