i like Selected Shorts on NPR a lot

As I make more frequent trips to Missouri to take care of my mother, I find myself listening to more and more Podcasts to kill the time. Dug up this thread, because I didn't see anything current. Rough list of the ones I do.

This American Life - The granddaddy of them all. Often just listen to the stream which randomly plays from their 500+ episodes.

Radio Lab - More sciencey, but managens to be interesting and relavent.

Sound Opinions - music podcast out of Chicago. Some are interesting,

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - Stumble on it when Colbert mentions it in his Late Show podcast - Pretty fascinating stuff on the Genghis and "Wrath of the Khans". Other history podcasts were rather bland in comparison.

Naturist Living - Something I used to do.

What you got downloading?

Our local NPR station stopped carrying it. It's been a part of our Sunday afternoon for years.

The Vinyl Cafe from CBC radio.

If you're interested in Comic Book art and artists, check out the NinjaMountain Podcasts.  Find em at the NinjaMountain blog.

If you are a fan of the tv show GLEE, the Gleeful Podcasts are a hoot. Josh, Jenn, and Ed discuss each weeks episodes and I like thier take on things. Just some silly fun after a rough day at work.

Educating Esme was one of the best hours of radio I've listened to in a long time — engaging, funny, thoughtful — and it's part of the remarkably eclectic Hearing Voices NPR series, which is available as a podcast.  Local producer Jay Allison does amazing work.

Appears that the first part of this thread got borken, maybe in the recent server issues, but in any case . . . well, anybody got any good (current) podcast suggestions?  I've gone through my back stock of a couple of years of Scientific American's, and Fresh Air is great but not enough.  Ideas?
