- NPR Planet Money
- NPR On Science
- NPR Science Friday
- NPR Technology
- Science and the City: I just started listening to this podcast, so not sure yet if I’ll continue.
- This Week in Google: Interesting, but too long at 1 hour every week, especially as it has some filler and could be shortened.
- TED Talks: Some good talks, some just boring.
- The New York Review of Books Podcast
- The New Yorker Comment, Out Loud, and The Political Scene podcasts
- President Obama’s weekly address

Historical Jesus sounds interesting. The rest are really nice specially the historical ones.
I listen to a LOT of podcasts so an hour-long podcast doesn’t bother me, but I hope its interesting.
You tried This American Life yet?
Specs: An hour long podcast is likely to have a lot of fluff. I love BBC 4 podcasts because they are so packed with interesting information.
I haven’t tried This American Life yet.
