The CBC (equivalent of the NPR in the US) had a podcast dedicated to clothing/style last summer. It was put on by JJ Lee and called Head to Toe. I wasn't a huge fan of the show, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case others were interested.

Freakonomics is great if you're new to the genre, but Dubner rehashes a lot of his own content. Maybe that's because I've been following them for 10 years.
Planet Money, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Star Talk Radio are my current favorites.
Edit: Intelligence Squared, you get a temporary 10 IQ point lift after listening.Last edited by bernanke; May 22, 2015, 09:19 AM.

Originally posted by Sideswipe View PostLove these two, wish MD&E came out more frequently but I assume Cooke's book-related stuff is eating into their podcasting time lately. I recently started listening to "GLoP" which is along the same lines if you're interested. Definitely going to be checking out Philosophize This.
Others:
Sporadically listen to AoM, Welcome to Night Vale, HBR Ideacast, and Nerdist.
Recently started to listening to Catholic Stuff You Should Know and Econtalk.
Econtalk is my all-time favorite. I find Planet Money interesting and quirky for sure, but frustratingly shallow (due in part to the shorter format and in part because the hosts are journalists and not economists).
I also really enjoy How to do Everything, the various Fangraphs podcasts (baseball and sabermetrics), and the Razzball podcast (fantasy baseball).
What I would really love to find would be a finance podcast that is neither about personal finance nor cheerleading the stock market. The closest I've found though have been specific Planet Money and Econtalk episodes.Last edited by chetsteadman; May 28, 2015, 08:07 AM.

I am a total podcast junkie. I just had to trim back my rotation since there were more episodes than I had time to listen to each week. Besides the niche Wisconsin sports podcasts these are what are still around...
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
Dan Carlin's Common Sense
Fw:Thinking
Stuff You Should Know
Tech Stuff
The Bugle (John Oliver's podcast)
Podcast History of our world
Startalk Radio
Guys we F*cked
How did this get made
Always looking for a new good one and I've enjoyed Radiolab, TED, and the other how stuff works podcasts in the past, but had to cut those.

Lots of great recommendations here. Too many almost as I'm running out of time to listen to them all. Heck when do you guys find the time to listen to them all? For me it's generally in the car, but I'm not driving a lot these days so finding the free time is getting harder and harder.
[MENTION=11793]jrue[/MENTION] You've inspired me to check out some live broadcasts. The Welcome to Nightvale live podcast sounded awesome. Trouble is many of them don't make north of the border.
