I listen to a lot of podcasts and I was wondering if anyone around here has some they like and listen to. Share em, always up for new stuff.

Some of the ones I like currently:

http://www.thisamericanlife.org/podcast
This American Life, always a classic.

http://www.radiolab.org/series/podcasts/
Radiolab, from the folks over at public radio. Just good stories and great production.

http://uhhyeahdude.com/
Uhh Yeah Dude, two guys from LA. Pretty hilarious at times, sort of a comedy podcast with two guys just talking a lot of shit for an hour. Highly recommended.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History- this guy can be a little irritating to listen to at times, but it's pretty entertaining if you're into history. I'd say it's on the lighter side of the history buff spectrum, but fun.

http://commonplacebooks.com/welcome-to-night-vale/
Welcome to Nightvale- this is a pretty cool concept, the concept is it's a local radio show from a town in the desert where all urban legends are true.

http://www.dirtbagdiaries.com/
The Dirtbag Diaries- stories of travelers and adventurers. Sponsored by Patagonia, which was a company started by a true old school dirtbag. Neat stuff.

Just a few. Anyone else?

First of all, I think you have a problem... that's a lot of podcasts.

Secondly, I listen to Mark Rosewater and his Drive to Work podcast on the dailymtg.com website, and sometimes I listen to the guys at roosterteeth.com.

I listen to the Right Reasons (reality TV) religiously, great chemistry between the two hosts: David Jacoby and Juliet Litman. Comes every Friday.

The Infinite Monkey Cage, a science podcast from BBC Radio4 with Brian Cox, one of the physicists from the LHC + Robin Ince, a british comedian + interesting guests. Very funny and thought provoking, highly recommended.

I can stop anytime I want!


Also, thanks for the input. Adding stuff to my list.

TED talks are awesome too, btw.

Just started listening to You are Not So Smart, so far it's pretty interesting. It's fairly new so not a large backlog, http://youarenotsosmart.com/podcast/, and mostly seems to be concerned with neuroscience and behavioral science. Also cookies.

ETA: The early ones have poorer production quality, he improves and apologizes for it later, lol.
