Got Stimulation?
Stimulated Boredom is a pre-recorded weekly talk show that is available for free in a variety of ways. Whether through direct streaming on the web, podcast, iTunes, RSS, mobile device or interpretive dance…you are sure to find the listening option that best suits you.
The following are brief descriptions of some popular listening options, all headers & logos are linked to the appropriate channel:
iPhone | iPad & Android Apps:
Cell phone junkies, iPad owners and Stimulated Boredom fans can rejoice, as there are now apps available for both iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch and Android devices, including a Blackberry option!
The apps allow you easy and on-demand access to each week’s program; including the ability to listen to current & past segments, call or email the show, view the Twitter and Facebook profiles for the program and visit the website…all of which can be done within the app!
You can also play / pause and pick up where you left off, download show wallpaper, view extra content and a lot more, with even more new features planned for the future.
Both apps share the same look, features and functionality in order to create an almost identical user experience across both platforms:
Also available in the Amazon App Store.
What about Blackberry?!: Although there is no official BB app (yet), BB users can download the RadioTime / TuneIn App for free (also found in BB App World). Simply search for ‘Stimulated Boredom’ and save to your presets for easy access & listening to the show.
* Although SB is a free program, there is a one-time fee for the apps. This helps to support the program and assist in covering development costs.
iTunes:
Stimulated Boredom is available for free on iTunes. This is the most common subscription option for the podcast version of the show. Download segments, directly stream within iTunes or add to your iPod…hundreds of segments from the show are available on-demand!
Due to a change in podcast servers (which host the show files), there are two Stimulated Boredom podcasts / channels available on iTunes:
Please Note: Clicking either of the links above will launch the iTunes application to the corresponding podcast page. You may also simply search ‘Stimulated Boredom’ in the iTunes Store.
You may also click on the iTunes logo to be taken to the show podcast. For convenience, it will take you to the most recent episodes (recorded after Feb 1, 2010):
RadioTime:
RadioTime is the worlds largest and most complete radio guide, bringing 30 million monthly listeners from popular connected devices including Logitech Squeeze Radio, Sonos, WunderRadio, Roku, TuneIn mobile app on Android & iPhone, Connected TVs by VIZIO and many more. I have provided the direct link to the ‘Stimulated Boredom’ RadioTime station page here, however you may also subscribe through any of the aforementioned devices that offer RadioTime.
For instance, if you have a Roku box for Netflix Instant streaming, you can find RadioTime in the additional channels available like Pandora, Mediafly, Amazon OnDemand etc.

Liberated Syndication & Archive:
This is where I host my audio files for the podcast version of the program and it also serves as the show’s archive.
You can easily direct stream current and past segments (just hit the “Pod” button next to the segment title) or download the original MP3 file (right-click on the MP3 link and select “Save link as”) to your computer or cell phone to be played or added to any number of audio players (e.g. Windows Media Player etc), non-iPod MP3 players or to your cell phone to listen to on the go / on-demand.
You will also find archived episodes listed by month and year along the right column. Since I switched servers in February of 2010, you will find all of the shows recorded since that date, up to the present.
MediaFly:
The MEDIAFLY™ Network is a tremendous source for podcasts, news, sports, comedy, pop-culture, technology, and more, delivered to your PC or mobile device. This option allows for quick and easy direct streaming through the web, or you can listen through an incredible amount of popular consumer devises and mobile phones.
Subscribe via RSS Feed:
RSS stands for ‘Really Simple Syndication’. It is a URL (or feed) that people can subscribe to that will automatically update when new content is added to that feed…in this case, new episodes of Stimulated Boredom. Think of it as an audio ‘magazine subscription’, once you subscribe new ‘issues’ are sent to you (updated) automatically. If you do not use iTunes, this and the mobile apps are the next best option for subscribing to the podcast version of the show.
Note: You must use an RSS feed reader like Google Reader. I recommend Google Reader, as it is free and a very common and popular RSS feed reader. If you use gmail, you already have access to Google Reader using the same login information as your gmail account! You can also click on the logo to more seamlessly subscribe:
To manually subscribe, simply log in to Google Reader, choose to ‘add a subscription’ and then copy & paste the RSS feed (http://stimulatedboredom.libsyn.com/rss) and viola! You have instant and on-demand access to hundreds of show segments and your subscription will automatically check for new shows when they are released. Google Reader will give you the option to immediately start playing segments through your web browser or allow you to download the show files in MP3 format.
NOTE: Stimulated Boredom has two RSS feeds. Within your preferred RSS reader, just copy and paste the feed(s) into new subscriptions:
Podcast / Audio: http://stimulatedboredom.libsyn.com/rss
Website (e.g. new articles, blogs etc): http://stimulatedboredom.com/feed
Below are two common / popular free RSS reader services:
YouTube:
Stimulated Boredom also has a YouTube channel! It DOES NOT replace, nor is it a full video version of the talk show, but an additional dimension to the program that includes short video commentaries, random discussions, topic follow ups etc.
