I just started listening to podcasts, around springtime this year. For me it was my goal of walking more. Constantly listening to music while walking was sort of boring, but listening to podcasts while walking is amazing. I've always wanted to listen to podcasts, but now I have a reason to.

Anyone have any suggestions for good podcasts, while we're at it? Maybe there's an old thread around here with some good suggestions?

Hey syzo, I knew there was a post about podcasts last month, quite a few good suggestions worth checking out.

If it's not in bad taste, I'd like to recommend my own show. Check out Comatose when you have the time. It's a somewhat strange storytelling set to music kind of show.

Jumping on the self-promotion bandwagon, my boyfriend has a business podcast ( http://blog.extra-paycheck.com/extrapodcast/ ). I find that the quality of the show greatly depends on the guest tho, he's had some pretty interesting ones lately so I'd recommend starting from the end.

Also, check out hubski's own podcast started by thenewgreen #tngpodcast !

I'll check out the show! And hubski's podcast is great! I should've plugged it in my original reply.

Checking out more recent episodes is something you learn to do after having done a show yourself. Our first episode is pretty rough, but we were more or less experimenting with the idea. It's strange to think a lot of people listen to it first still.

Thanks for the shout-out and the podcast plug :)

I'll check out some of your BF's

I don't listen to podcasts myself, but every now and again my wife will listen to Radiolab without her headphones. They put on a good show.

Yup, I got into Radiolab recently and started listening from the start. Good stuff.
