Favorite Podcasts?

[writermama]

I haven't been around much lately because my DDs and trouble with my hands have been severely limiting my computer time so instead of the boards, I've been listening to podcasts on the iPod my wonderful DH gave me for my birthday a few months ago.

Here are a few of my favorites, what are yours?

Jumping Monkeys: My first and still favorite podcast. Weekly podcast on "Parenting in the digital age" with 2 techtv alums, Megan (mom of a 4 year old and 2 year old twins) and Leo (dad to 2 teens). Websites, gadgets, and interviews that all somehow relate to technology and parenting. Recent episides have featured the moms of Cafe Mom, Cat Schwartz the "hi tech mommy," and the editor of Brain, Child.

This American Life: Weekly podcast of the NPR radio show. I used to listen on the radio BC (before children), but after them I lost track of when it is on. Horray for podcasts on iTunes. Now it just appears in my iPod every week.

Radio Lab: An innovative and compelling show from New York Public Radio that explores scientific research on a given topic such as Morality, Memory, etc. Always interesting.

Daily Giz Wiz: A more or less daily 10-15 minute long podcast with Tech Guy Leo Laporte and Giz Wiz #### De Bartolo (also of Mad Magazine and the Match Game fame). This odd little podcast devotes almost as much time to jingles and jokes as actual content, but I find it addictive in its silliness. I've also learned about nifty gadgets like the Sansa Shaker mp3 player.

NPR Books: A weekly roundup of NPR segments about books featuring reviews and interviews from pretty much any NPR show that featured a book in the week. It seems to be a different length each week, from 45 minutes to a little over an hour. I've added a lot of books to my "to read" list because of this podcast.

(nak, so no links)

Off the top of my head:

-Wait Wait Don't Tell Me (from NPR, hilarious news quiz/roundup show)
-Naked Science (weekly science roundup, I started listening when New Scientist stopped their podcasts)
-Pediacast (Dr Mike, a pediatrician, weighs in on childhood topics, eg illnesses, obesity, safe plastics, etc.)

There's another good one from the New England Skeptical Society but i can't remember the name.

eta: It's called The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

Ok, so mine is going to sound really fluffy compared to the PP's....but I listen to the Grey's Anatomy pod cast, which they do during the tv season. I'm a big fan of the show, and I like to hear what the producers have to say each week about what's going on in the episodes, etc.

I listen to the following regularly:

The Knitting Cook - Great recipes, knitting stories, and raising a family in Germany
This American Life - love it!
NPR Most E-mailed Stories - I don't always get a chance to listen to NPR with DD in the car, so this is a great way for me to hear some of their great stories.
