I remembered there was a thread about other podcasts. I think there was more than one as I don’t remember reading this one before. What else are you listening to besides Motivation to Move and its family of premium podcasts?
Me:
Filmspotting—great film discussion with two knowledgeable guys and a lot of listener input. My first real podcast. I listen usually while at my desk at work.
NPR’s Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me—if I don’t catch it on the radio I catch up by podcast. Great current-events comedy quiz.
BBC Radio 4’s The News Quiz (when in season)—similar to Wait, Wait, if you’re American; if you’re British, you’d enjoy Wait, Wait, I think.
BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show (when in season)—not a quiz show, but sketches, monologues, rants, and songs on current events with a UK focus but a world view. I’d never know who the leader of the LibDems is if not for Radio 4.
Logical Weight Loss—the guy’s much more of an Everyman on a voyage of discovery, with info and personal struggles, than Scott who fits the C.M.O. job to a T. Enjoyable.
This American Life - anthology of stories, journalism, and interviews. One of the best things on any air anywhere.
I also listen to streaming radio online while at work, a lot of BBC comedy and drama, from I’m Sorry, I Haven’t a Clue on Radio 4 to This Sceptred Isle on BBC7. I’m an Anglophile who’s never yet crossed the Atlantic.
In Our Time is another podcasted audio show from BBC Radio 4. Good in-depth discussion on a single issue. I was turned onto it recently as they had a discussion of King Lear.
The public radio station in Santa Monica, KCRW, near where a friend used to live, has some great podcast-available shows also, like To the Point, Left Right and Center, and others. I cut down on my political podcasts, as I was listening to a lot of news and opinion all the time and the effect was I was well-informed but very discouraged. I care, but I’ve learned to let some of the burden of the world off my shoulders while I work on—well, shoulders among other things.
I’m interested in hearing what others listen to. I have waxed and waned on some others.
