Podcast recommendations...?
Apparently, I left my Walkman and favorite mixed tape in direct sunlight for too long and it melted into something resembling Dali's Persistence of Time. I'm about to go on a business trip and want to download some podcasts to listen to, but I don't know what's good - any recommendations out there?
I'd be more into nerdy-yet-entertaining genre or business-related topics. I know several B-schools offer podcasts of their lectures, also. But I'll give something a try if it sounds decent and I'm hoping UteStar comes through with some good "How-to" series from his closet, er, iPod.

WNYC's radio lab are my favorites. NPR's This American Life is also a good listen.

I don't have very many good 'how to' ones though I have heard that 'Being the best metrosexual you can be' is very informative.

I agree on the Ricky Gervais podcasts but they will set you back about $6.95 for each season. However, it is three hours of pure entertainment with Karl Pilkington.

The best is Tony Kornheiser's show on Washington Post Radio. Sports and talking about life and current events. The show is very funny, and it's free.

I agree, Kornheisers show is fabulous. I don't think you get a podcast of it, but the Sports Reporters (Steve Zcaban and a couple of others) show out of Washington DC is terrific. They usually have a 5 minute segment with Tony every day as well.

The sad thing about Kornheiser's show is that he'll be leaving pretty soon for MNF and won't return until after the season is over.
