Bored? Need a break from the 10 billion songs on you iPod? Here's my favorite podcasts of the year that deliver the goods every week. They may just stimulate your brain and give you a chuckle along the way.
RadioLab
1 theme, 4 or so stories, always engaging, always thought provoking. Kind of like This American Life but more science/philosophy based. Themes have include Sound, Space and Morality.
Sound Opinions
Excellent rock criticism, live performances, music industry news. Previously only broadcast on Chicago Public Radio, its one of those shows that had the foresight to to do a podcast. I'm particularly fond of the lack of pretention: they may recommend a Christina Aquilera album and dis some Radiohead album in the same show(no this didn't happen, settle down). Suffice to say, great criticism, great conversation and you may just find a new band or two every episode.
This Week in Tech
Warning, this is geek territory. Current tech news, irreverant commentary, Microsoft/Sony/RIAA/MPAA bashing; an all around fun show that has some of the people from the defunct TechTV network with varying guests from the industry.
