Lately I have been listening podcasts. One that I recently discovered is The Moth. The Moth is a not-for-profit storytelling organization. The podcast features people telling true stories on stage without notes. Some of the stories have been featured on This American Life - another of my favorite podcasts. The other show that I podcast is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
The problem is that this only gives me about 2 1/2 hours of podcasts per week. Help! Can anyone recommend any others?

I listen to the Harry Potter books when I walk (since I don't commute much)... I think I have listened to them about 10 times now, but I like them better than NPR. Jethro really likes This American Life. He also listens to the New York Times movie reviews, PRI Shorts and The Onion. I was told by someone that you can down load classroom lectures in all different categories. It might be cool to listen to a few of those.
Have you considered books on tape or CD? Books on CD are the only reason my frequent trips to St. George and Boise are bearable and listening does wonders for helping me stay awake. Robyn practically lives at the library and burns through 3-4 books a week on CD, which she rips to her MP3 player and listens to while working around the house.
Hey! this is Jethro. I actually just discovered "Stuff you should know". It's a pretty good one. Interesting at least.
There are so many on the Itunes store. But yeah, I also really like the Moth.
Thanks again for coming to my show
I love reading the Modern Love essays in the NY Times and apparently they are on podcasts now, you should check those out. They aren't long, but there sure are a lot of them
