Favorite Media Podcasts
0
Yes, I’m back with more podcast recommendations. Since I seem to have evolved into the local podcasting expert (which I think is kind of funny since I’m not a podcaster myself, only an obsessive listener and serious researcher), people frequently ask me for recommendations, and one category I haven’t listed favorites in yet is podcasts produced by print media, radio, etc. So here they are.
Slate Magazine Podcasts
Witty, wacky, and provocative, with selections from Ad Report Card, The Human Guinea Pig, and others, as well as the weekly political gabfest.
NPR Business Story of the Day
The closest thing I do to keeping current. NPR has tons of other podcasts, for a variety of shows.
The Daily Telegraph Podcast
I wasn’t a Telegraph reader when I lived in Britain (I favored the Guardian and the Times), but the podcasts provide a non-American and more conservative perspective to balance that of the People’s Republic of Berkeley.
BusinessWeek
I get the Cover Story, Tech and You, and Cutting Edge (formerly “The Blog Elite”. I like them all, but have one complaint: there are no ID3 tags on the MP3 files, which means they all come up as “unknown” on my player.
Wired News
I just started listening to these. They’re short, opinionated pieces about new developments in technology, from games to cell phones and wilder things.
