Podcasts

One of the other media I really enjoy right now is the podcast. I haven't been too adventurous, sticking primarily to podcasts from the major aural media outlets I listened to already (what a pretentious phrase!) NPR and the BBC.

I listen to The BBC Newspod and the BBC Radio 4 Best of Today which give international news and a broad liberal yet fair perspective on things that matter to me. In fact I feel quite let down when things are too much like American journalism.

For a little more fun I listen to The Naked Scientists out of Cambridge.

But I also like one of the best American programs that my local NPR station can't afford to broadcast, This American Life. I also listen to B-Side Radio.

To keep up on current music I listen to World Cafe: Words and Music and KEXP's Song of the Day.

Any recommendations? And more hours in a day to listen to it all?
