Just looking for some suggestions on good podcasts for a beginning brewer. All grain set up. Thanks!

There are a lot of great threads on HBT with recommendations on podcasts. Have a look at these google results (searching HBT):

I personally listen to:

- Brewing Network: Jamil Show
- Brewing Network: Brew Strong
- Brewing Network: The Session
- Basic Brewing
- Basic Brewing Video

Beersmith Podcast!!! my absolute favorite. Its all informative, i've really come to dislike the Jamil Show now, cus like 60% is them messing around.

The Brewing Network
The Sunday Session (mostly messing around but good info)
The Jamil Show (lots of great info)
Brew Strong (also lots of great info)

The Brewing Network - The session if you have a lot of time to waste
Brew Bubba's

Dr. Homebrew on the Brewing Network is pretty solid too.

Basic Brewing - some decent experiments, moderate level of info, but you have to listen to Chris Colby
Brew Smith - Great guests, good info, worlds worst interviewer
Jamil Show - great info, entertaining, but you have to put up with dick jokes and ads for porn sites

i find beersmith very difficult to listen to, the guy is very good at writing brewing software, and gets really interesting guests, but he's just an awful interviewer. he doesn't listen or respond if the conversation changes, he just asks the next question on his list, or asks questions he knows the answers to so he can answer them himself! take a journalism night class!!

Thanks the suggestions are great! I tried some beersmiths and I do Agree, not a good interviewer at all! Also I don't like the Jamil show for some of the same reasons mentioned. I will definitely try some of the others.

I just listened to the BeerSmith sour beers talk and he kept interrupting Mike Mraz and interjecting answers to his own questions. He kept saying "Mmmhmm?" all the time too. It sounded like Mike was getting annoyed by it. I love using BeerSmith software and the information from the podcast is great, but man it is hard to listen to...

I've got some episodes on my phone, but I find them really hard to listen to. For one thing, all the boring and pointless banter at the beginning that has nothing to do with the supposed topic of the episode. They're clearly just filling time. I've gotten into the habit of just blindly skipping over the first 8-9 minutes of the episode, then hitting the "jump back 15 seconds" button a couple of times until it sounds like they're actually talking about whatever the topic of the day is.

Then there's all the crass, juvenile double-entendres that aren't nearly as clever as they think they are. I'm convinced that crowd is totally incapable of uttering the phrase "grain sack" without giggling and snickering like 12 year old boys. There was a time when I might have found that funny too, but now it just seems.... dumb. "It's important to wash your sack <tee hee>" Yeah, we get it. Very funny.

And finally, the commercials. My God, the commercials. Like 7 minutes straight of generic rock music underlaying a deep-voiced pitchman yelling about the "BIGGEST BADDEST KETTLE ON THE PLANET!" like it's a monster truck show. Thank goodness for the skip-ahead feature in the podcast app.

In a 90 minute episode, I'd say you're lucky if there's 20 minutes of actual useful content on any given topic.
