I mostly listen to things from the BBC due to the World Service no longer broadcasting to North America as of 2001. There are some CBC programs since the loss of Radio Canada International. Mostly comedies plus The Archers Omnibus.

These are for listening pleasure. CBC & BBC both have comedy of the week podcasts. Because News on CBC is hilarious. Drama of the Week on BBC is good though sometimes off the wall.

I could listen to Larry Kudlow for business reasons but lately I cling tight to my comedies. I need the escape.

I listen to a lot of horror fiction podcasts like Darkest Night, the No Sleep Podcast, some other fiction stuff like Rabbits and Alice Isn't Dead, and then some other stuff.

Planet Money -- my favorite

My wife is more into Sunday School Dropouts than I am, but I listen to it occasionally. She also listens to some other history podcasts but I don't recall what they are.

In Our Time covers everything from history, religion, literature to science. Recommended!
