What genre are you looking for? I tend to lean toward science, history, tech and literature with a smattering of the arts. G has a bunch of biz netcasts he loves. Or are you just looking for the whole list?
Science, tech, and business sound good, but if there’s a particular one from another genre that you feel is really good, I’d be willing to give it a try.
I’ll compile my list and get back to you in a bit. *grins*
Well, this took a while to compose, eh? Goodness, I’ve completely lost track of the time, my mind and a few other things I can’t think of in the moment because I have lost track of them. *rolls eyes*
Here are my podcast recommendations – all can be found through iTunes:
The Naked Scientists (BBC radio science show)
This Week in Science (Berkley radio show)
Brain Food (he hasn’t done one in a while, though)
The Daily Giz Wiz (Leo LaPorte and Dick DeBartolo review gizmos and banter)
History According To Bob (I’m a history nut)
Inside Renewable Energy (I’ve just added this and am still review it for content)
KPBS A Way With Words (fun with vocabulary and grammar)
NPR Satire from the Unger Report
NPR Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me! (pure entertainment)
This Week In Tech (Leo LaPorte talks about the latest in tech with his friends and industry leaders)
I have a few more on my list (quite a few more history ones and several recordings of university classes and lecture series) but I’m not sure how interested you’d be in them. I haven’t listened to them all yet.
Happy listening.
I’ll tell ya what I listen to, and you can see if you’re interested in any of them
