Not sure how many people listen to Podcasts but I love 'em. I am not really one for listening to the Radio on the way to work so I usually have a raft of podcasts for the journey from and to home as well as in the gym. I find them a convenient way to learn new things or stay upto date with the things I am interested in. One kind of podcast I have never been able to really enjoy is comedy ones :confused:
Some of these you may find a bit boring but each to their own I guess. So in no particualr order
A Buddhist Podcast (http://abuddhistpodcast.com/)This is a good one for an introduction to Buddhism and it has a story serialised in it called The Buddha Geoff and Me. Take it as either a nice break into Buddhism or a way to get a different perspective on your life.
My Thought Coach (http://www.mythoughtcoach.com/blog.asp)Some great 10 minute meditations for all aspects of life
Gamer Cast Network Podcast (http://www.gamercastnetwork.com/)A very cynical and quite funny podcast by some American guys who talk about all platforms. Although it is American, they have a lot of UK listeners so it's pretty easy to pick up and listen
GFW(Games for Windows) Radio (http://www.1up.com/do/minisite?cId=3148397) Until recently this was one of the two exclusive PC gaming podcasts along with PC Zone. Not sure if I am going to continue listening to this. Been a long time listener for about 18 months but the team has been completely been decimated with 3 out of the 4 presenters pursuing careers at EA, Blizzard and Relic Studios. The lead presenter was Jeff Green who is someone I have a great ammount of respect for as a games journalist. thought provoking and very very witty
Brain Ready (http://www.brainready.com/) Some great little brain workouts to keep you occupied. Imagine Dr Kawashima for the DS on your Ipod and your on the right track
This Week at NASA (http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/) News about Shuttle Launches and whats going on at NASA.
Science Weekly (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/series/science) This is the weekly podcast from the Guardian covering all the latest science news from around the globe
So what can you recommend and what floats your boat podcast wise ?
