It doesn’t provide a lot of material, but I enjoy the Onion Radio News Podcast. ---

It does air on some public radio stations, but isn’t on the NPR list. Planetary Radio: [Planetary Radio | The Planetary Society](http://www.planetary.org/radio) Brian thanks for that list \*\*Archergal[/p] ---

Inspired by a recent GQ thread, here is a pocast (inFrench) on the mysteries of the Rosary. feed://feeds.feedburner.com/RosaireBiblique\_Podcast\_Chapelet\_Mystere\_Sainte\_Vierge ---

[KCRW has a bunch of podcasts.](http://www.kcrw.com/podcast/) I _highly_ recommend Harry Shearer’s (voice of Mr. Burns and Smithers on _The Simpsons_) _Le Show_. It’s a newsier version of _The Daily Show_ and he covers a lot of material which I’ve not heard mentioned elsewhere. ---

Wow, is it just me, or is the first time that a podcast thread has gotten so much love? Usually it’s just like three Dopers going, “Woooo! Podcasts RULE! WOOOOOO!” and a few of other people going, “Huh? What is this ‘Pod Cast’ you speak of?” ---

[QUOTE=Podkayne] Wow, is it just me, or is the first time that a podcast thread has gotten so much love? Usually it’s just like three Dopers going, “Woooo! Podcasts RULE! WOOOOOO!” and a few of other people going, “Huh? What is this ‘Pod Cast’ you speak of?” [/QUOTE] Of course, with all these new recommendations, I’m never going to have time to watch tv anymore. 🆒 I like listening to talk more than listening to music, so podcasts are right up my alley. ---

If you dig _Firefly_ and/or _Serenity_ you should check out _Fireflytalk_ and \*the Signal \* and a new podcast coming out soon \*Tales from the 'Verse \* featuring Firefly fan fiction. I happen to be a host/reader for this one (so you KNOW it’s good) 😃 ---

NASA has a couple of podcasts, but I can’t really recommend them. Only one of them seems to be posted regularly, and it’s hosted by a guy who sounds like Corky St. Clair from _Waiting for Guffman_. It’s kind of hard to take someone talking about the total destruction of all life on Earth, when you keep waiting for him to say, “But nothing’s terrible when you have a _Remains of the Day_ lunchbox!” 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/argh-need-podcasts-recommendations/365264.md?page=1)
