I like to listen to Podcasts while doing my outdoor cardio. Currently I am listening to 'The Skeptics Guide to the Universe' and 'Fat 2 Fit Radio', but I'll be out of new material soon. I'd be interested in hearing other interesting podcasts, particularly those with a large backlog of episodes to catch up on.

    I don't really listen to them, but my sister is addicted to "Wait, wait, don't tell me". It's very funny!!!

    Do you want music or talk...
    Can't help you with music, but for talk NPR.org has a bunch of great podcasts. A lot of them are free.

    My favorite, This American Life, keeps its podcasts free the week after broadcast, but charges $.99 after that. I'm not sure if you're American or not, but I would think the program would be enjoyed by Americans and non-Americans alike.

    I prefer talk, especially something where I can learn while exercising. The only This American Life I have listened to so far is the Julia Sweeney episode from 2005. Thanks for the recommendation.

    You'll probably like "Radio Lab" also then. I recently listened to the "Words" show and the "Numbers" show (both radio lab episodes) and found them really interesting.

    "Wait. Wait. Don't tell me." is also an NPR program :happy:

    The entire NPR podcast directory can be found here:
    http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_directory.php

    It can be sorting in multiple ways, including by topic.

    Enjoy!
