Hi guys
Not sure if this thread has been done before. I've been listening to some very good podcasts lately, and I thought I'd share them. Perhaps some of you also listen to some interesting podcasts.
http://www.radiolab.org/ - This is my favourite podcast. It's an investigative - Sciencey kind of podcast, they cover really diverse subjects and answer some fascinating questions you never thought of asking. They get the most interesting guests on the show.
http://www.theskepticsguide.org/sgu.asp ... odcastId=1 - These guys are a bit like myth busters, but they more investigate scientific issues and go a bit more in depth than simply doing experiments. They are quite funny, and cover a wide range of scientific topics, destroying pseudo science and mistaken beliefs.
http://www.startalkradio.net/ - This is a podcast by my 2nd favourite Astrophyscist (after Sagan) Neil DeGrasse Tyson! He often has a comedian with him on the show and it's always quite funny. He covers space related topics, and often has famous guests (e.g. Morgan Freeman, John Stewart etc) on the show.

- Ideas worth spreading is bloody marvelous, and I'm sure you'll all be aware of it. But did you know they also offer many of their talks in audio version podcasts?

- Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. This guy is marvelous, he talks at length about historical topics in a very unconventional and thought provoking way. I loved his discussion on the morality of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He just makes any topic fascinating.
Please add you own

Re: Good podcasts to listen to
My personal comedy favourite, I listen every week...
The Smartest Man In The World, by Greg Proops.
http://smartest.libsyn.com/
Not remotely Buddhist. But good. Smart, politically aware, hilarious.
Sort of like a 21st century Bill Hicks.
