Oh happy day

As some readers may remember, I've been walking and walking (90 to 100 miles a week) the last eight months or so now and accompanying the walk have always been podcasts...mostly on four topics:  comedy, history, sports, and science.

But the best one, the one I look forward to the most is this one.

Best history podcast out there, maybe simply the best podcast out there...and the newest one just came out.

I have about 60 or so different podcasts in my i-Tunes que, but what do you listen to?

Suggestions appreciated, though I may already have the one you're thinking of in the list.

    I'm currently a fan of Probably Science, which combines comedy and a modest amount of science, along with occasional forays into history.

    I'm listening to 'The Partially Examined Life.'

    So far so good.

  4. Old standards:

    This American life, The Moth, Science Friday... the classics

    Planet Money... occasionally you have to shout at them for their "conventional wisdom" bias, but it's like reading The Economist; even when they're wrong, you learn something.

    PRI's The World... best news podcast I've found

    BBC documentaries... great grab-bag

    Other outstanding:

    China history podcast
    Development Drums

    Worthwhile filler:
    Stuff you should know
    Radiolab
    Escape Pod // Podcastle
    Brain science podcast
