No Agenda, for real news, no tabloid shit.

I love Adam and John, but it's not "real news" -- it's conspiracy theory devised by two guys who don't understand how to think critically.

I think you're missing a good part of the show, it's alot more than conspiracy theories.

TechZing gets my vote. http://techzinglive.com/ It's broadly about issues relating to tech startups but meanders quite a bit. The hosts are characters and it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Hey, this is Jason from TechZing. Thanks so much for the mention! I never really thought of myself as a character, but you're probably right. ;) By the way, for anyone interested in checking out the TechZing podcast, we not only discuss tech, startups and other HN-like topics, we'll even on occasion take a risk and venture into the unknown. For example, we recently interviewed a historian of UFOs and the national sec…

Jason, the interview with Richard Dolan (UFO guy) was the best show in my memory and I listened to almost all of Techzing episodes.

I listen to a lot of podcasts, here are some of my favorites:

Entrepreneur: 1. Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders

   2. Venture Voice (hasn't been updated in a while, but Greg Gallant is a very good interviewer, and some interesting ones are non-tech, e.g. Jon Boggle).

   3.  StackOverflow Podcast - not strinkly entrepreneur, but good general technical discussions.  Great to listen to when you don't have your full attention to devote.

General Interest:

   1. This American Life

   2. The Moth

   3. NPR Planet Money

   4. WNYC Radio Lab - stories with science bend
Some other ones I listened to in the past that I'd recommend:

   Hanselminutes (technology, focused on .NET, but other topics as well)

I also strongly recommend The Teaching Company - they put together courses tought by the best professors. Mostly nontechnial, but interesting stuff (and they do have some more business-focused courses).
