Anyone have any recommendations?

I’m _not_ looking for “learn French” type podcasts, and unfortunately when I search, 99% of the hits are exactly that, for people seeking to learn the language, both in the iTunes store and on the internet. I’ve even tried searching _en français_ but I get similar results.

I’m looking for podcasts in French that native speakers would listen to. I like science and tech (physics, astronomy, comp science etc.), math, linguistics, humor, good fiction, good non-fiction. Not so keen on the humanities side of things.

My favorite English language podcasts tend to revolve around science and skepticism - Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe, Skeptoid etc. Standard Doper fare 🙂

I’m going to have a long bus commute to and from work soon so this would really help out. Thanks!

You’d probably be better off asking a French messageboard. In French.
