podcast recommendations anyone?

podcast recommendations anyone?

podcasts are the thing i turn to for entertainment while
doing all my softspoken crochet orders. my absolute
favorite is wnyc's radiolab. then of course, this american
life, and all the little npr ones like pop culture, story of the
day, fresh air, etc. and savage love and sound opinions.
i also download the sound of young america, the slate, the
moth, tavis smiley, and things like that, but only really listen
to them if there's someone on the show i like or the subject
sounds intriguing. i just downloaded the recent ricky gervais,
steve merchant, karl pilkington release, but does anyone have
any other must listens that are in this vein? i'd love something
else similar to radiolab - intelligent and entertaining and science
or philosophy related. or something laid back and hilarious similar
to what the ricky gervais show does/did. and just audio, too -
i'm not very good at watching and crocheting at the same time :)

  1. I love Old Time Radio Detectives Podcasts -- they have all the old commercials in them and everything, can be hilarious at times.

  3. If you like bristish comedy I would highly recommend the adam and joe podcast from their 6music radio show. Its maybe in a slightly different vein from the gervais/merchant stuff, but I consider it absolute genius and download it every week.
