Back to the future: Podcasts

Since the start of the new year I’ve become hooked on podcasts (again).  It all started when a colleague suggested I listen to the podcast series, Serial.  I hadn’t listened to a podcast in a few years but the series got me hooked and since then I’ve downloaded several others.

Two of my favorite podcasts are Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! and TED Radio Hour. Other podcasts I currently have on my iPhone include Stuff You Missed in History Class, Real Time with Bill Maher (although I never seem to end up listening to this one) and PBS News Hour.  I had forgotten how much I enjoy listening to good stories and or just funny commentary.

If you happen to see me at the gym spontaneously burst out in laughter – now you know why.  Do you listen to podcasts?  Which are your favorites?
