  • One of the first Podcasts Still going

    Frank Nora pioneered a certain stream of consciousness long form monologue style unparalleled among the early podcasters and even still to this day with The Overnightscape which inspired others to follow in its wake with its own network style channel on the Overnightscape Underground. It has raw creative depth and a purity bordering on sans bias. It’s not for everyone and requires a decent imagination, but if it clicks with you, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. Or in other words it’s... more

  • Frank Edward Nora and his show - The Rampler - like his other show, The Overnightscape

    Perhaps the best audio entertainment in the world. Frank creates an almost daily broadcast from his life in New York and New Jersey. His voice is easy to listen to, very similar to a young Alan Alda as Hawkeye. Frank rambles about a variety of subjects such as things he encounters in New York while traveling to and from New Jersey by bus, subway and occasionally time travel. Time travel, entertainment culture, comics, music, life, philosophy, a small amount of speculative conspiracy theory, food... more

  • Most unique podcasts!

    Most all of the shows here are well-above average. The shows are not what you think of when you think of podcasts, other than perhaps, "Fusebox". Most of the shows are intimate, with the hosts sharing their true feelings about a variety of subjects.

    Frank Nora has been doing his show for years and he's wonderful. Rubenerd is the best! I also really dig Jimbo, who is interesting and funny.
