Anyone got any good retrogradations of ones they listen to? Great for while travelling, or when listening to the latest awful economic news on the radio becomes too much...
The 3 I listen to most are:
The Atheist Experience: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-atheist-experience/id118720919
A weekly call-in show from Austin Texas that takes calls from theist and atheist callers on the subject of atheism. Listened to over a period of time it can be read almost as a primer on critical thinking in general.
Stuff you should know: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/stuff-you-should-know/id278981407
Updated a few times a week - it's essentially a primer for pub smart arses on just about every topic under the sun. 1 topic per 20 something minute podcast. It's made by the howstuffworks.com site. Latest podcasts were about Daylight Saving, Crossbows, Alcatraz, Air Force One. If you can filter out the presenter smugness it's a good one.
This Week in Tech: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-tech-mp3-edition/id73329404
One of the most popular podcasts in the states apparently. A bunch of technology journalists ( a rolling panel of all ages frequently ranging from graduates to 70 year olds) sit around and talk about the weeks tech news in a very informal rambling manner prone to digression. Drinking and swearing are often involved too. US centric, as you would expect.
(yes I know there's a podcast forum on thumped, but it's all very music orientated)
