davidw• 19 years ago

Since I don't have a commute or other dead time, sitting around listening to someone talk is maddeningly slow and or distracting compared to being able to glance over a written article.

wehriam3• 19 years ago

I like to listen while I eat, do errands, do laundry...

trevelyan• 19 years ago

Podcasts aren't just about news. I listen to the podcasts at ChinesePod.com and SpanishPod.com. Already speak Chinese and am learning Spanish. Fun.

michaelneale• 19 years ago

I am the same, but I do them when walking/at the gym (or running, sometimes).

"Off the hook" and "off the wall" from 2600.org

superjared• 19 years ago

If you're a nerd/geek/dork (like me) you'll love Radiolab. Simply the best radio show ever.

michaelr• 19 years ago

Thanks for bringing attention to this. I just started listening to one of the shows; aside from the interesting content it's also really well produced.

jey• 19 years ago

www.radiolab.org (just pure awesome)

www.audible.com (audiobooks for long drives and flights)

smallchou• 19 years ago

Great one from my alma mater: http://edcorner.stanford.edu/podcasts.html . Just take a look at the guests over the years.

wehriam3• 19 years ago

I second that, Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders is outstanding.

jamescoops• 19 years ago

yeah venturevoice rocks

some of the webmaster radio shows are good - Net Income, SEO Rockstars

wehriam3• 19 years ago

This American Life, NPR Shuffle, The Economist, The Ethicist, the Welch Way...

The Bugle from the Guardian is hysterical.

"... What podcasts do you subscribe to? ..."

I don't so much subscribe as dip into these links every once and a while when I need to vegetate or want to do something away from the keyboard. There are a few others but they are pretty much listed (npr, edcorner ... etc).

ITConversations ~ http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/

ABC Science show ~ http://www.abc.net.au/rn/scienceshow/

BBC Science ~ http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/directory/genre/science/

TED (vid + mp3) ~ http://www.ted.com

tjr• 19 years ago

None, though I occasionally download individual recordings when the topic and/or speaker interests me.

clueless• 19 years ago

Freedomain Radio - http://www.freedomainradio.com/podcasts.html

If you you really want to get challenged intellectually, this podcast is for you...

spoonyg• 19 years ago

escapepod.org All work and no play, etc.

izak30• 19 years ago

Just of note: I'm not surprised that nobody here subscribes to TWiT. MIT's online lectures are quite good, but I wouldn't call them a podcast I suppose.

I recommend www.podiobooks.com if you are interested in hearing some non-geeky stories. I have really enjoyed listening to some of their content over the last few years. adf471587879rzq
