For programming/design, download youtubes from Pando and convert to mp3s. easy. Same for the sam altman/ycombinator lectures.

For real thought, Long Now. http://longnow.org/projects/seminars/SALT.xml For current thought, the RSA (including design). https://www.thersa.org These are good because you get great question sessions at the end of the talk.

Interviews with "spiritual" leaders Sara Trippet's On Being http://www.onbeing.org/sites/onbeing.org/files/xml/podcast.x... For more relaxed, WTF with Mike Marron. Really awesome interviews with tons of fascinating people.

The Buddhist Geeks podcast, if you are into that. http://www.buddhistgeeks.com/

For fun, Nerdist/ Captain Laserbeam and also Sparks Nevada, Marshal on Mars.

If you enjoy stuff which deals with spirituality you may want to check out Tapestry http://www.cbc.ca/radio/tapestry. The subject is not my cup of tea, but I have heard many rave reviews of it.

The Tim Ferris Show is pretty good. http://fourhourworkweek.com/podcast/ Also Serial, 10 eps, was also very good. http://serialpodcast.org/

Who downvoted this comment above? What the heck? This is the third time in the last week I have had 1 or two up votes followed by 1 or two downvotes. I usually don't go there, or here, but what the heck?

Like many - I started (and still love) the Joe Rogan Experience (http://joerogan.net/). Now my list is pretty large, but one I really love is Song Exploder (http://songexploder.net)

self-promotion disclaimer I also host one about in-person, uncensored conversations with uncommon people. http://oznog.com

I get enough tech in my daily life, so I look to podcasts to enrich my life in other dimensions and teach me new things. Here are some of my favorites: * Cooking, food, and molecular gastronomy; Cooking Issues: http://www.heritageradionetwork.org/programs/51-Cooking-Issu... * Outdoor adventure; Dirtbag Diaries: http://dirtbagdiaries.com * Music and poetic music breakdown (uniquely well-suited to audio as a medium); S…

Somebody already mentioned Welcome to Night Vale, which is a serial fiction podcast in the form of public radio news announcements from a town where all the weirdness of the world is true.

Also, there is The Thrilling Adventure Hour. This is a comedic take on old-school radio serials. There are multiple ongoing series within the show. This is a really funny show, with great production values, and some high profile guest stars.

• Philosophy • - Partially Examined Life: http://www.partiallyexaminedlife.com/ • - Philosophy Bites: http://www.philosophybites.com/ • Comedy • - Bill Burr Monday Morning Podcast: http://www.billburr.com/podcast • - The Bugle Podcast: http://thebuglepodcast.com/ All you need is philosophy and comedy, anything else is superfluous.

The Bugle regularly makes me laugh out loud on my commute, although I'm not sure quite how well it translates for non-Brits. Co-host Andy Zaltzman is the brother of Helen Zaltzman who also co-hosts an excellent comedy podcast, Answer Me This.

For in depth world news and technology trends I listen to the no agenda show with John c Dvorak and Adam curry; their weekly Hunt through the news and c-span broadcasts saves me endless time and the voluminous show notes will be your handy reference too! http://www.noagendashow.com In the words of the great Kenneth Robinson: "neither a bayer or lender be!" Enjoy No agenda!

good stuff!
