Scott Johnson's "The Morning Stream", "Film Sack", "Current Geek" and whatever else he puts out. He and his co-hosts are very cheerful. They are more about positive emotions than the substance. It really makes my life better and me not as grumpy.

for those of you who like history and can understand spanish, I really like "ser historia con nacho ares" its always got interesting subject matter and is really well put together. http://www.nachoares.com/seccion/ser-historia/

For literature, I like BBC 4 Open Book, its a pretty good way for me to find new books and authors to read: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02nrsfl/episodes/downloads

Another one thats short and sweet for language enthusiast is "sozusagen!" auf BR2. (German though) http://www.br.de/radio/bayern2/kultur/sozusagen/sozusagen112....

Those are the only ones that have stuck with me over the years and continually delivered good content for stuff I'm interested in.

1. Song Exploder: Hrishikesh Hirway interviews composers. In the interview they talk about the process of how one of their songs were created. One of my favorites: https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/song-exploder-no-24-tych... Another one of my favorites: https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/songexploder-no-8-loren

2. Radiolab: This one gets you thinking. I feel like sometimes they will oversimplify very complicated concepts though. One of my favorites: http://www.radiolab.org/story/worth/ (This one is really long. It's like a three in one. Usually they are like 30 minutes long).

3. Let My People Think: This one is a thinker too.

4. Here and Now: Basically the news.

5. NPR All Songs Considered: (I don't listen to this very much) They have guest DJ's, and new music (I'm not much of a fan some of the music they put up). They also have special episodes, which are more interesting. One of my favs: http://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2015/05/19/406500138/th...

6. NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour: (I don't listen to this very much) They talk about new movies, shows, books, and songs.

Here is an episode I like from this podcasts (I haven't had the chance to explore the other episodes though): http://www.radiodiaries.org/new-podcast-strange-fruit-voices...
