The Basement Tapes of the Mole Cabal was an ongoing audio serial available in podcast form from 2005-2014. Subscribe through itunes, or stream, below. Note I switched providers so the iTunes sub will only get you back to 2012. A few of them played on the wonderful Australian sound art show Soundproof.
Each tape is about ten minutes of archival-audio-ambient-dig-floating, and each one has an original song embedded in it somewhere. They're meant to accompany you while you work or daydream.
Recommended episodes: 39, 38, 36, 31, 29, 27, 20, 13, 9
My single review on itunes sez: "Gregory Whitehead's a fan, so that's endorsement enough. There's not enough capital 'A' Art podcasts and this one has the rare quality of being very re-listenable. Very eerie."(Thanks, RadioLou13)
