Since I don't have a commute or other dead time, sitting around listening to someone talk is maddeningly slow and or distracting compared to being able to glance over a written article.

Podcasts aren't just about news. I listen to the podcasts at ChinesePod.com and SpanishPod.com. Already speak Chinese and am learning Spanish. Fun.

I am the same, but I do them when walking/at the gym (or running, sometimes).

Just of note: I'm not surprised that nobody here subscribes to TWiT. MIT's online lectures are quite good, but I wouldn't call them a podcast I suppose.

If you're a nerd/geek/dork (like me) you'll love Radiolab. Simply the best radio show ever.

Thanks for bringing attention to this. I just started listening to one of the shows; aside from the interesting content it's also really well produced.

I recommend www.podiobooks.com if you are interested in hearing some non-geeky stories. I have really enjoyed listening to some of their content over the last few years. adf471587879rzq
