If anyone hasn't heard the Ricky Gervais show, go and download it right now. Ricky Gervais isn't the star of it, the comedy all comes from the bizarre mind of the producer Karl Pilkington.

I recently started listening to them all again but now I've exhausted them and have moved onto the XFM radio show they used to do.


I also tried out a couple of Russell Brand podcasts last night. I dunno what I think yet. He can be funny but he's a bit too manic.

For that krautrock / drone / space rock thing - my and my marrow is great.

If you enjoy the comic stylings of John Oliver then I recommend The Bugle

Can be found on iTunes as well

- radiolab (entertaining shows, often on science themes like emergence, placebo, memory)

I LOVE radiolab. It took me a little while to start listening but it's a really engaging program. I enjoy it and I did terribly in my high school science courses.

I listen to Rachel Maddow (the first 2 hours, not the call-in portion) for politics and news delivered in a really funny, snark-y way. That Rachel Maddow, she's wicked smart.

Dan Savage's Love Cast is always entertaining. I find his off-the-cuff sex advice really funny, sexy and smart.

It looks like a video podcast though, right? For some reason I don't mind listening to podcasts all day but I don't like sitting in front of my computer for video podcasts. I guess I prefer listening low quality audio to low quality video.
