I'm a _huge_ fan of podcasts, and I have a strong bias towards Informationally dense shows dealing with Politics, technology, and sciences. Common Sense with Dan Carlin - I think he may be the most underrated and most prescient political commentator of our times. Econtalk - for the high bar of intellectual honesty of its host. Waking Up with Sam Harris - a little of everything. BhTV the Glenn Show - hosted by an African American economist , probably the leading commentary on race relations in the USA today. The Tim Ferriss Show - excellent interviewer and some truly remarkable guests. Risky Business - information security reporting by a truly excellent and knowledgeable journalist. Congressional Dish - reads and provides background on legislation currently proposed in congress. Will give you a very solid understanding of many current topics (her work in reading through TPP, CISA and other bills is fantastic). Slate's Whistlestop - stories of famous moments in American presidential campaigns.
