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-tycho https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/song-exploder-no-24-tych... Another one of my favorites: https://soundcloud.com/hrishihirway/songexploder-no-8-loren 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/ 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/the-songs-that-make-us-cry 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-of-a-lynching/ http://www.radiodiaries.org/new-podcast-strange-fruit-voices...
