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

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.

"... 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).

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

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

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

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.

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

The Bugle from the Guardian is hysterical.

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

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.

wehriam19 anni fa

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

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.

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