Your favourite podcasts

I love downloading podcasts for listening to in the car or on the plane, especially news-related stuff. I often also use Textaloud to have my emails and documents read out to me and then listen to them while travelling.

What are your favourite podcasts for use while travelling? I really like the daily newsdigest the BBC puts out and their special programmes.

Any gems you'd like to share?

1. Leo Laporte's stuff (his KFI radio feed, twit.tv)

2. www.travelcommons.com

3. The unemployment line (www.unemploymentshow.com)

4. www.mobiletechroundup.com

5. www.radioeconomics.com

6. The tablet PC show with James Kendrick and Marc Orchant.

7. The BBC documentary channel (not always) (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programme...entary_archive)

8. Betty in the sky with a suitcase (http://betty.libsyn.com/rss)

9. Come fly with me (the fellow is a pilot with, I think, Delta?) (http://joepodcaster.libsyn.com/rss/)

These are the ones I'll admit to listening to...

These are my two favorite non-business, non-tech podcasts. Joe and Betty are great storytellers and listening to them is always fun. They provide pretty good insight into the work environment of pilots and cabin crew.

Note: Fly with Me has changed urls. The new homepage is http://flywithme.podshow.com/.

Yes, I signed up for Roper and Ebert and downloaded the first 5 episodes of Tiki Bar. I also had previously signed up for the BBC and a couple other news ones.

Another great one is the Onion Radio Broadcast.
