Hype Machine. There’s way too much music there to listen to it all, so I have iTunes set up to dip one track per hour out of the raging river, and delete each one after I’ve listened to it.

I also subscribe to podcasts for WFMU (for the 365 Days Project) and TMBG.

I listen to most of those too, although I wasn’t familiar with Quackcast, so I’ll have to check it out.

I was saddened to hear about Perry DeAngelis’ death today on Skeptic’s Guide. I liked Perry.

I first heard about Quackcast when Skeptic’s Guide interviewes the Dr. who does the Podcast (blanking on his name).

I liked Perry, too – I actually teared up a bit during this last Podcast, when they played some clips of listenr’s favorite Perry moments.

I don’t know if it’s on iTunes or not, but a friend of mine runs a regular podcast about gaming and game design… not computer gaming, but tabletop RPG and boardgames, as well as a bit about CCG games and the like.

If you’re a gaming geek, I highly recommend it. He’s had some pretty heavy hitters on the show, if you’re into independent gaming.

NPR’s [Sunday Puzzle with Will Shortz](http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=4819411). Seven or eight minutes a week of fun word games.

The MPR [Song of the Day](http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=7495783) has introduced me to some cool music that I would never have heard of otherwise.

I don’t generally spend enough time listening to podcasts to subscribe to more than that, though.
