    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.

If you're a nerd/geek/dork (like me) you'll love Radiolab. Simply the best radio show ever.
- michaelr 19y ago
  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.

"... What podcasts do you subscribe to? ..." I don't so much subscribe as dip into these links every once and a while when I need to vegetate or want to do something away from the keyboard. There are a few others but they are pretty much listed (npr, edcorner ... etc).

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.

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
