I already blogged it, I’ll blog it again because it is still one of the gems out there in the video podcast universe: Chasing Windmills. This is a almost daily series of 3 to 5 minute black and white video episodes dealing with the daily life of a struggling urban couple. Struggling with their situation, struggling with their love, struggling with the themselves. I am watching this for months now and I am not getting tired of it (Video Podcast Feed).

I still don’t get how they are doing it but I can only hope they find a way to continue. Although I can recommend some episodes here the only way to get into things is following it for a while. Once you get the basic parameters of the story, you’re hooked.

• Faulty Logic
• Reconstructive Therapy
• Sleepwalker
• Meta (so cool)
• Porn Flick (crazy)

jadelr’s notebook is a blog that provides a look behind the scenes of the Chasing Windmills production that you might want to follow once you’re hooked. They also provide some clips off the scene while shooting like this one. The whole music soundtrack is produced by a single guitar just playing some chords. Here is another background video that explains that.

I think I could go on and on on this one. You really have to check it out for yourself. An to Jadelr and Cristina: you totally rock. Love your stuff.

I feel my recommended video podcast of the day must match the audio podcast I named and there is only one way to go: Democracy Now! („The War and Peace report“ ) is a podcasted one-hour TV news show hosted by acclaimed journalist Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez. The show is shown on around 400 american TV channels and some satellite channels but the podcast is also a very important outlet for them. (Audio Podcast Feed, Audio Podcast in iTunes, Video Podcast Feed, Video podcast in ITunes).

Democracy Now is difficult to follow as it is a full hour of news every day. But it is well-worth diving in every now and then especially in times of global disaster. Democracy Now is pure news, information from the real sources. Amy Goodman is one of the leading figures of the intellectual resistance in the USA and a very impressive person.

Democracy Now! is also known for showing video coverage in pure unedited form. Recently they showed videos of vistims of american soldiers using chemical weapons in Iraq among other stuff. But it is the real news. If you have been looking for it, here you might find it.

My audio podcast of the day is one of the more important policital podcasts in my point of view I can only recommend to subscribe to: AudioCommunique by bicyclemark (Podcast Feed, AudioCommunique in iTunes). I can also recommend subscribing to his blog which provides extra value.

Mark calls himself a „Portuguese-American, radical, activist-blogger, podjournalist, and citizen reporter“ and produces 2 to 3 shows a week of around 25 minutes length. In it, he presents views on international affairs, policitics and cultural developments. Mark lives in Amsterdam. Some episodes are just spoken by him, but many times he interviews people with in-depth views on various issues.

Recommended episodes:

• bm114 Freud, Luntz, and the longterm effects of political manipulation
• bm110 GI Joan on the Military, Iraq, Disaster Recovery, and Powerlessness
• bm107 John Aravosis of Americablog on Ports and the World Bank
• bm106 WTO Force Feeds Europe
• bm99 Behind Wikipedia
• bm98 GI Jane off to Afghanistan

This podcast is very high on my list and one of those where I try to not miss a single episode.

Starting my big podcast roundup, I’ll point you first to a frickin‘ hilarious video blog (that’s unfortunately not available as a video podcast): Drinking With Bob is a regular rant on anything. And ooooooh, baby, that guy can curse! And here is the podcast feed
