Recommend me a podcast
Postby ngalbrai » Sun May 27, 2012 8:41 pm
The biggest disincentive for me is boredom. I usually listen to music but bored of my meagre collection that's suitable for riding to, so have been having a look at podcasts for the first time ever. Anyone got any recommendations, might as well try and soak up something useful/interesting/funny for an hour and a half a day whilst cycling.

The Science Show
The Moth
This American Life
All Songs Considered
SALT - Seminars About Long Term Thinking
I find the spoken word ones fine on the bike. I use a mono earbud, one that takes both channels into one, and unplug if things are busy on the street.

And for a different perspective on world events : www.aljazeera.com podcasts here
The original "Aunty" www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts
I don't really use podcasts myself, but I have various feeds of the above sites in my RSS Feed Reader for an ever reliable means of distraction If I ever was forced to commute by car or public transport with regularity i think I'd take refuge in podcasts however.

This American Life
How Stuff Works
Ricky Gervais Show
TED talks are also a good alternative, although prob not long enough for a decent ride.

For me, podcasts and audiobooks don't seem to interfere with hearing traffic quite the way music does.
My faves are:
Hamish and Andy
The Economist
How Stuff Works
Dr Karl's JJJ Science segment
Zero G (community radio station 3RRR science fiction show)
