Recommend me some Podcasts

[PeteXXX]

ISIHAC is not on all the time but there are three episodes on iPlayer atm http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08578tr

Thanks, I'll dig them out

Try Margaret Throsby http://www.abc.net.au/classic/program/midday/podcast.htm. We used to listen regularly when we were touring Australia back in 1999/2000.

In view of the level of technology in our lives and the level of ignorance of the threat to it, I'd try Security Now

Right...So far I have about 50 hours of Podcasts to listen to!
Thanks for such a varied list of new topics

The moth - https://themoth.org/podcast Interesting true stories

Seriously, no mention of Radiolab yet? ... This American Life. OMG, just brilliant.

+1 to all of the above.

Another I have discovered recently that I would highly recommend is The Guilty Feminist - it's two comedians, Sofie Hagen and Deborah Francis White, talking about practical feminism (ie how feminism relates to everyday life) with a different guest and a different theme for each episode. It's often very funny but it's also thought-provoking and eye-opening - especially for a heterosexual white middle-class male such as me. But it never comes across as hectoring, and is always entertaining and/or interesting.

Thanks. I just spent an enjoyable cycle ride listening to the last two episodes of this.

Not that I need anymore podcasts ....

It's a slippery slope. I currently have 14gb of unlistened-to podcasts, almost filling the 16gb memory card. I won't listen to most of them, but .... maybe I will

This is probably going to get me lynched but that serial cheater Lance Armstrong now has a podcast called the Forward. Some of his guests are actually very interesting.

I get plenty of time to listen whilst clocking up the miles in the truck. There are many hours to kill when the radio is boring.

Athletico Mince - https://audioboom.com/channel/athletico-mince

Yes to this - hilarious and random! You will enjoy if you like hearing about charity work for Daft Kids, Liaison's with the Alderman, Gangs of the EPL, Jeremy Corbyn, Steve McLaren (Incl. Casper the snake, and the Fat Lass!)

Also a shout out to My Dad Wrote a P0rno - obviously has adult theme, but its not a sexual podcast, more 3 people ripping the p1ss out of it.

a lot of podcast I listen to are pretty niche and probably not much interest but I enjoy Science Friday http://www.sciencefriday.com/ and Star Talk https://www.startalkradio.net/ when I want to learn something.

Oh and www.thenakedscientists.com is also good and a little less heavy

50 hours is fine. But I am pretty sure there is way more than 24 hours of excellent podcasts produced each day, so it's easy for it to get on top of you, even if you listen alot.

I'll do a digital detox if necessary
