Answer 1

I listen to a ton of podcasts - just depends on what you're looking for and what you're interested in.

For interesting stories, This American Life is almost always really good. Also, try Radiolab.

For comedy, try WFT with Marc Maron. It's not always funny, but he interviews some big time comedians. Sklarbro Country is pretty good too - sports and comedy.

Answer 3

Best Politics Podcast (not close) - No Agenda - John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry (former MTV VJ). They do an awesome job showing the bullshit that is the American media.

The Joe Rogan Experience is good. While I always thought the guy was a douchebag, his podcast is the realest out there. They sit there and get drunk and high with various celebrities while Rogan typically makes a fool of himself.

Free Talk Live is an anarchist podcast. I don't necessarily prescribe to their beliefs, but they pretty much challenge every common notion.

WTF with Marc Maron is good, especially if you like comedy.

If you are not the sensitive type I'd recommend Distorted View. It's probably one of the most offensive things I've ever listened to in my life, but that's why it's funny. Guy makes Howard Stern look like a light weight.

Adam Carolla's podcast is also good. If you ever listened to Loveline, it's essentially that with out the sex questions from callers.

Stocks and Jocks is one of my favorite business podcasts. They bring in sports talk with stocks talk in a way only greedy New Yorkers with thick accents can.

Would also recommend This Week in Tech if you like staying on the edge of new things technology related.

Answer 5

To add above.

Comedy - Mike and Tom Eat Snacks. How Did This Get Made. Any podcast that Paul F Tompkins is guesting on.

And a tip to Newbies of WTF. Just FF through the first ten minutes. The interviews with the guests are interesting. Marc Maron alone is not.

Pop Culture - Extra Hot Great

Educational - Things You Missed in History Class. They've done a lot of podcasts, so pick a subject that's interesting. And don't be operating any heavy equipment. Interesting podcast, but the women sound like the Schweaty Balls women from Saturday Night Live.
