I just downloaded Listen so I could listen to some podcasts. The only problem is... I don't know which ones to listen to. I want some world news, some tech news, and a lot of talk radio type podcasts.

So far the only podcast I've listened to is called In The Loop. I found it by searching NPR I think.. I'd like more NPR type programs.

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

+2 for Buzz Out Loud, it is one of my favs.

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me from NPR is also great, it is a news game show, very funny!

Here is my updated subscription list. Its good enough for at least one 1 hour workout every day. I enjoy the CNET podcast the most, but wouldn't mind if Tom (?) stops interrupting and deflating the other hosts' comments. Yes, he has some good points, but he tends to discount their thoughts.

All CNET audio podcasts
Geek tech live
NPR: technology podcast
PCMag after hours
Wall Street Journal tech news briefing

There are quite a few on the first page I need to add to my subscriptions. Looks like some good ones.

Currently listening to these whenever I have time, which isn't much lately:

Prairie Home Companion's News from Lake Wobegon
Car Talk (always my favorite to listen to on the way to work. Never fails to get me laughing)
NPR: Technology
PRI: Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya' Know?
This American Life

My favorite is Security Now. It makes my 45 minute commute enjoyable.
