Two Free Music Podcasts for Spinning

I ran across a few music podcasts geared specifically to running or indoor training. There’s two of them that I’m really impressed with.

• Indie Soup Runner – Finally! A workout soundtrack that isn’t techno! And it’s free! With all that going for it, you can hardly hold it against them that the podcast is for runners. ISR is a fantastic mix of indie pop music – Ting Tings, Go! Team, Infidels, Tokyo Police Club. High energy, great tunes and a perfect way to hear some new artists to download later (In fact, I just read their review of Cut Copy and downloaded it straight away). The site is also fantastic, with a lot of reviews, photos of foot fungus (?) and other downloads. Well done, guys. My days of mixing my own tracks might be over…
• Techno Sweat – Terrible name, great techno music. I don’t go too much for techno when training. What is better than Muse, really? But sometimes I’m in the mood for this – especially when I want to really punish myself on the bike. TechnoSweat has a bunch of free podcasts through iTunes (just search for TechnoSweat) that are worth a few spins. They also have tracks you can buy at their site, but I didn’t try that out.
