Recommend Some Podcasts  Reply with quote  

PLEASE!

I currently listen to:

Hardcore History
Common Sense
SModcast

Unfortunately, all three of them update so infrequently that there are long periods without so much as a peep from any of them... I spend at least 6 hours in my car every day, & listen to a lot of audiobooks. I listen to the podcasts between books. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mr. Green

Nevermore...

Oh, NPR's website the splendid palate has one...
I think it's called what's for dinner or how to eat. or something memorable...
Here you need this...
http://www.mediafly.com/Areas/NPR/Feeds/1
this only shows 25, you can do the 300 or so... it's on there Very Happy
This American life rocks, whaddayaknow, the show that's on Tuesday nights, and the WOrld, and marketplace,
their financials are great if you're into that...
Diane Rehm is always good, Fresh Air rocks..
Of course, you could turn your radio on to NPR too. Very Happy
But this is cool cuz you can listen to it when you want and pause it! Very Happy

all 3 of us listen to these in the house, I guess we just don't know what you would be interested in....

And if you get REALLY REALLY BORED... I'll have my kids give you their D and D podcast link from wizards of the coast, and their Grammar girl podcast, learn japanese and all the Greenpeace protest links! Laughing

They're programs you stick on your ipod or Mp3 player and listen to...
but you can listen on your computer. Is that link I put up working now...
I swear it was find this a.m. and now it won't load for me and I really wanted to listen to something while I mop the kitchen floor.

Just click on the listen now or whatever it says on there thingy.... Very Happy

Try www.TED.com

There are a lot of interesting talks on there (and some crap, too) about technology, design, humanities, education, etc. and a lot of them can be downloaded as video or audio podcasts. There are also some pretty cool performances by musicians, poets, dancers, etc.

Thanks! I had thought about NPR before, but never got around to it. I do enjoy a few of their shows, like Car Talk, & this very British sounding quiz show that doesn't have any Brits... Well, maybe sometimes. Can't remember the name of it, though... I can't listen to it on the radio much, since most of my driving is out in the boonies, I have to keep switching between different local affiliates, & that gets rather annoying rather quickly. Plus, can't pause it the 50 or so times a day I have to get out of the car. Laughing

--edit-- found the name of the quiz show, Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me! Rolling Eyes

Oh, & you have to pay $0.95 to get the Car Talk podcast, so...

Nevermore...
