Sooda Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Ive got commutes to work now and being a heathen in need to educate myself I feel its a good oppo to listen to some educational stuffz. Do you guys know any podcasts on science/business/politics that are interesting/enlightening to listen to? Ideally free of charge but Id pay a small subs fee if necessary. Thus far Ive discovered the BBC news site, which is pretty awesome. And the Guardian podcasts seem good. Any other suggestions are welcome Much love, The Sood.

coffee_rules Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 NPR.org has a lot of podcasts worth listening.

Sachinism Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Serial is awesome. Totally loving this crime, drama, investigation thing. If you're following Serial, then Slate's Spoiler podcast is worth a listen The Bugle - Satire No such thing as a fish - Done by the elves of QI. About interesting facts. Can be funny. The Atheist Experience - A call in show tackling irrational thinking mainly. The Philosopher's Arms - A bunch of people (including philosophers) discuss many situations Radio Cricket - @altcricket & @pavilionopinions podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
