Do you have a favorite podcast? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I got an iPod a couple weeks ago and have been exploring the wonderful world of podcasts.

My favorites are mostly business/finance related (the Bloomberg ones in particular, the Economist, etc). There is a video podcast called Wallstrip that is pretty cool, the girl who does it is cute, and it is a cool blend of pop culture and wallstreet buzz.

Any recommendations or comments your favorite podcasts?

I haven't listened to it lately, but as of several months ago it was consistently excellent and featured an absolutely all-star lineup.

NPR has half a dozen podcasts that are good. My favorites are "This American Life", "Radiolab", "This I Believe", "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me" and "Fresh Air".

We also get the "60 minutes" weekly audio show, as I never get to watch it live.

Amazon Wire has some good interviews and reviews.

Oh, and don't forget the BYU Speeches podcasts. A definite must-have.

Do you have trouble sleeping at night? If so, I highly recommend the Book of Mormon or Old Testamant CES Rountable Discussion podcasts. But when in doubt, always go with "Insights into Isaiah". You can't miss.

I used to listen the Sports Junkies in DC every day. So I usually listen to the podcasts of their shows.

CW, if you're interested in keeping up with your Chinese, ChinesePod has some good lessons. They do a good job.

Radiolab is my favorite by far.

I've seen those on the BYU channel a couple of times. An absolute snoozefest.
