Podcasts - Which Ones Do You Listen To?
I'm looking to add a few good podcasts to my library for all my time in the car and at the gym. Which ones do you like and why?
Disclaimer: in the spirit of the board's policies, I'd prefer if folks steered clear of political ones. I have no use for them as it is and I'd rather not get the thread derailed.

NPR's All Songs Considered
Especially their live concert series is especially excellent.

I've thought about the Rick Gervais one. I'm a big fan of his most of the time.

The Dave Ramsey Show
This American Life
The BS Report With Bill Simmons
I really haven't looked for too much else as I don't have a ton of time for podcasts, and these three fill the time I do have pretty adequately. I really only listen to Simmons during football season or if he does something on pop culture that I care about.

Thanks for the tip on that one. I downloaded a concert with Ray Davies of the Kinks doing their songs with a chorale group. Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

Besides a couple of faith-based podcast, mostly by people I'm familiar with, including one of my old professors, I've just subscribed to Bob Edwards' podcast. A couple of good shows lately--one with Daniel Ellsberg, the other with a woman who wrote a book on a woman who died in the fifties, but whose cells multiply in ways that haven't yet been explained. Her cells have been used for research ever since, everything from testing the polio vaccine to (shades of Mengele) injecting her cancer cells into unsuspecting patients to see what happened.

Funny and informative

on a side note the guy who runs the cameras on the podcast, Andrew Koenig, who also played "Boner" on the Kirk Cameron/Alan Thicke sitcom "Growing Pains" is missing. He is also the son of actor Walter Koenig, who played Chekov on the original Star Trek series
