    Podcasts are the greatest thing since the invention of Left/Right shoe pairs.
    I don't have one piece of music on my ipod...

    My set:
    Mormon Stories
    Mormon Matters
    Mormon Expressions
    Adam Carolla --This guy is an absolute genius.
    Ace on the house
    KCRW Left Right and Center
    NPR Planet Money
    NPR It's all politics
    Mac Power Users
    APM On Being
    The U Fancast

    iTunesU is also great.
    Historical Jesus from Stanford is fabulous

    thanks to others for your lists. I'm always interested in what other people like.
    Sometimes I wish I had a longer commute so I could keep up with more shows....

          I just listened to the break up episode on this american life. Fantastic episode and the part about the 8 year old was heart wrenching.

            Another great intelligence squared debate, this one on immigration:
            http://intelligencesquaredus.org/ind...d-immigration/

            For those of you getting sick of the completely unsubstantial presidential debates, this is a nice reprieve. They're much more entertaining than you'd think.

              Great list--looks very much like mine (we have the bolded in common). I agree with you on Radiolab--underrated, but consistently really well-done.
              I'm going to add History of the World in 100 Objects. I might get rid of Stuff You Missed in History Class--too long and too much obscurity. although the recent gangster stuff was pretty cool.

                anyone have recomendations on new testament commentary?
                There seems to be a lot of stuff there, but it seems daunting to go through it all looking for the good stuff. Something along the lines of what Jared Anderson would produce, if he were doing a NT podcast....

                  With Jay Mohr taking over for Jim Rome I wonder if the podcast is over? I'm probably 8-10 episodes behind as I don't have much road time during the Winter.

                  That'll be too bad if so.

                    Rome gone for good? He said his schedule would be back to normal in January.

                      Over Christmas I got hooked onto "the History of English Podcast." Its a great podcast. Its run by Kevin Stroud, a lawyer in the real world. His podcasts are much more in-depth than anything we covered in my History of English courses as an undergrad.

                          If you are really into history, then I strongly recommend Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. I'm really enjoying the series on the Khan dynasty. This is not your Reader's Digest version of history.

                              Currently my favorite is Caustic Soda Podcast. It's hosted by 3 Canadians who have gaming and screenwriting backgrounds. They're hilarious as hell. They have a very eclectic episode list. This week I learned about wasps, the week before was patricide in history. Self surgery, zombies, ninjas, feral children are other past ones. Basically anything they find interesting. They even have one on mormonism.

                              Give it a whirl:

                              http://www.causticsodapodcast.com/
                              "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                                Don't regularly listen to Simmons, but I will depending on the guest
                                Listen to Talking TV with Ryan and Ryan every now and again
                                Tried listen to the Fire and Ice TV podcast, but Feinberg is just unbearable.
                                Been listening to Planet Money and The Disciplined Investor a bit lately
                                Feinberg is such a tool. Sepinwall and Mo Ryan need to do a podcast together.
