I love podcasts. My personal favorite is radiolab and my favorite episode is Emergence. It is about how our world organizes itself and I thought it was absolutely fascinating. Anybody else have any podcast episodes they enjoyed? I'm always on the lookout for some ear candy.
 
startalk radio is pretty good. prolly my favorite, that i think a wide variety of people would enjoy.


i also like some others that are more niche. this bein a sports forum, the BS report and Grantland are prolly applicble ones in this category (tho they venture into pop culture and a lot others stuff besides sports)

Any specific episodes you could point me to for startalk? I'll check it out!
 
hmmm, i guess it depends on what ur interested in. they have a variety of topics. gravity, apes, evolution, space, etc.
any episode labeled "timecapsule" would be a good starting point, i suppose. those are episodes in which they take the 'best of' moments from the past few episodes and merge them into one. i prefer the other episodes tbh to hear in-depth about 1 topic personally, but those can be good to give u a little sample. "Cosmic Queries" episodes are probable the most popular--i like em too. they usually have a comic and tyson, taking random fans questions from social media.
 
im always tryin out new podcasts. there are A LOT of dumb ones out there. maybe not dumb, just boring.
one recent one i started is 'The Joe Rogan Experience." only heard like 2.5 episodes so far, so cant really recommend, but some of em seem to be good. the only thing is they seem to be very long, relative to other podcasts. so this is 1 ill be pickin and choosing episodes from, rather than other which i try to listen to every episode.
 
I really like "The Lowe Post" from Grantland. Specific episode id reccomend is the latest one, with an interview with Jared Dudley. pretty cool insights, and Zach Lowe asks questions i feel like i'd ask, so it pretty interestin.
 
i listen to a lot of technology related podcasts, but i think most people would find all of em boring. so cant really rec. any of em tbh.
 
Marc Maron has one where he investigates how Carlos Mencia steals all his jokes. That's a good one.

Obviously if you don't listen to This American Life you should start. My favorite is the one they did in 2003 onboard an aircraft carrier. **** honestly made me cry. I was on an aircraft carrier in the Gulf at that time and what I heard was 100% what I felt at the time.

The 2 recent TAL's about cops were very good.
