Addicted to Podcasts

I used to fill quiet moments with random radio stations blaring in the background, but the advent of podcasts has changed that for the better. Why listen to talkbackers complaining about neighbourhood drains, or top 20 music endlessly looping, when you can select niche programming, catered to your unusual tastes? Let me present my current favourite poddies in alphabetical order:

• The Dice Tower - humorous chatting about board games, 
• Dr Karl and the Naked Scientist - science Q&A
• Dr Karl on triplej - more science Q&A
• Freakonomics Radio - economics
• Friday Night Comedy (BBC Radio 4) - alternates between The News Quiz and the Now Show
• Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo (BBC Radio 5 Live) - film reviews
• The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe - as the name suggests
• The State of Games - board games, card games
• The Sword and Laser - fantasy and science fiction
• Tennis Connected - chatting about the tennis circuit
• TENNIS.com - more tennis is not enough
• Two Blokes Talking Tech - Aussie perspective on IT
