I love listening to podcasts. They have replaced TV shows. Here's a list I would recommend:
If you're into knitting:
::
Cast On::
Stash & BurnOthers:
::
NPR: Planet Money (really good at explaining what the heck is going in the global economy)
::
Savage Love Podcast (audio version of Dan Savage,
the sex columnist)
::
Stuff You Should Know (geeky-cool science show)
::
This American Life (interesting stories about people from every walk of life)
These podcasts are both informative and entertaining. All can be found on iTunes.
