I listen to a lot of the popular ones that have already been mentioned (Serial, Radiolab, This American Life, etc), but here are some others I listen to:
- Freakonomics Radio (WNYC). Favorite episode so far: "The Economics of Sleep" [1]
- 60 Second Science (Scientific American). Short synopses of new science.
- Developer Tea (spec.fm). Targeted towards developers, and episodes generally revolve around tech work and/or career development. Generally around 20 minutes. Good place to start: Interview w/ Sam Lambert, Director of Systems at GitHub [2]
- StarTalk Radio (American Museum of Natural History, I guess). Astronomy/Science. I'm especially a fan of the "Cosmic Queries" episodes.
- Reply All (Gimlet Media). Tech related, but no specific target audience. 30ish minutes. Favorite episode so far: #53, "In the Desert" [3]
- Planet Money (NPR). Economics. Lots of good stuff.
- Stuff You Should Know (How Stuff Works). Usually informative, but generally conversational and not heavily edited.
- Gastropod (Radiotopia). Food. Also generally conversational with little editing.
- Codebreaker, by Marketplace and Tech Insider (NPR). Tech/Ethics.
