You should consider adding my recently released app to that list :)

There's a Submit a commuting tool section at the bottom.

Thanks for pointing this out @Kearneyandy. If you'd like your product on CommuteKit, submit it there. We'll review it, and add it if we think it's of value.

Thumbs up for great icon!

The Monocle podcasts are phenomenal yet missing from the list.

Also The Economist's podcasts.

To paraphrase Larry Ellison, "I used to read The Economist. Now I just listen to The Economist Podcast."

This seems very US centric.

a bike is the most positive commute.

That's true, but not really practical for everyone. I'd love to cycle to work, but I have an 80 mile commute, which according to Google would take me 7 hours on way.

Thankfully that's only applicable two days a week. The other three balance it out with a 30 second commute upstairs to my study.

Very true, but if you have a short enough commute to bike, then you have a reduced need for things to do during it.

There are plenty of excellent English language podcasts which don't originate from the USA.

All the apps seem to be iOS only - why not add in other popular platforms?

The curation idea is interesting - but who decides what goes on the list? Why should I trust them?

Finally, why? What's the purpose of the list? Is there anyone alive who hasn't heard of Tetris? Surely the focus should be on things people may not have heard of rather that what appears to be the top 10 of each category.

I love the idea of surfacing things which may be useful - but I'm not sure if this is it.

Sorry if that sounds negative - is live to be proved wrong in my assumptions!

Could you please list a few?

Have a look at the ones output by the BBC, specifically In Our Time by BBC Radio 4 is a great example.

Under the Influence from the CBC.

I thought this said "CommuneKit". That would have been more interesting. :)

srsly though just read a book on your commute (if you don't drive) instead of these newsy emails that have the same content you'll read on twitter later ayway. In this day and age the commute can be the only time of day where you're forced to take some time to sit still.
