Over the last several months I've really gotten into pod casts and am always looking for new ones.

Here are some of my favorites:
*The Popcast (pop culture, one of the hosts is a friend of mine)
*This American Life
*Criminal
*Invisibilia
*Serial (season 1)
*Limetown (waiting patiently for season 2)
*Snap Judgement
*Lore
*Neighbors
*Strangers (although her voice takes some getting used to)
*Mystery Show was a great one (especially the Belt Buckle episode, but there haven't been new episodes in forever)

Tell me your faves!

    I listen to a lot of sports - but some others:
    - Nerdist (Chris Hardwick interviews people)
    - The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe (self explanatory)
    - Completely Straight (two guys in Ohio talk about whatever comes up and current events and interview local talent)
    - Serial
    - Coverville (cover music)
    - Pardon the Interruption (audio from ESPN's show)
    - Around the Horn (audio from ESPN's show)
    - The Tony Kornheiser Show (sports and current events)
    - The College Soccer Podcast
    - Mainstream Geek (may be defunct, hasn't has an episode in a many weeks)
    - The Bill Simmons Podcast (until he gets all NBA heavy. ugh)

    @wolverine66 thanks! I'll definitely check out the The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe and the Nerdist. Coverville sounds interesting. I love music so that might be a good one too.

    I actually have listened to one episode of Radiolab (The Buried Bodies) but forgot to subscribe, so thanks for the reminder.
    Just looked up Hidden Brain and it sounds right up my alley. Subscribed!

    Thanks. Knew it had to be something like that. Honestly, other than MFP or Expedia, I am rarely on a computer when I am away from work.

    @TheRoadDog I listen on my phone through an app called Overcast. It automatically pulls in new episodes of the ones I subscribe to. And since I have bluetooth in my car and unlimited data on my cell plan, I listen on my drives to and from work.

    I'm a dinosaur. I just listen to my FM radio when I'm in my car. The only modern concession I have made is when I added speakers to my Motorcycle so i can play my iPod. Even then, though, I am listening to Rock and Roll that was probably recorded before you were born.

    NPR has some great podcasts. I also like the How Did This Get Made podcast all about dissecting bad movies, as well as Kevin Smith's Hollywood Babble On.
