Podcasts to Try

December 16, 2008 by Renee Claire

iPod nanoMy mother had a hand-me-down iPod nano she never used, and three weeks ago she gave it to me. It’s my first mp3 player, and I’m so happy!

I currently can’t put music on it (it’s a long story, & not a good one), so I’ve been experimenting with free podcasts. Some of my favorites so far:

  • Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!
  • NPR’s All Songs Considered
  • WNYC’s Radio Lab
  • This American Life
  • CoffeeBreak French
  • CoffeeBreak Spanish
  • The Sound of Young America

What podcasts do you listen to?

    Ah, I love This American Life!
    I also listen to Filmspotting and The Treatment. Both are film-related, and very, very good.

    Oooh, I’d heard about Filmspotting before, but not The Treatment. I loved Elvis Mitchell back when he reviewed movies for the NYTimes, too. Thanks, Hannah!

    Love Filmspotting as well as Car Talk, Splendid Table, The Moth, and NPR’s driveway moments.
