Microwave Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 So at work I'm allowed to listen to podcasts, and I've pretty much grinded through every episode of everything I'm subscribed to. I'll post below my subscriptions so you can get an idea of what I'm interested in, but basically anything that's somewhat entertaining and that'll make me think. I'd really appreciate other suggestions. Thanks!

Clay Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm a big fan of the Joe Rogan experience and penn's sunday school. Both have some educational value, but are more geared toward entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fractional slacker Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 A few of my favorites: Already mentioned, School Sucks. Great show. Guy has a nice voice.The Jason Lewis Show - IMO the best terrestrial talk show around. Lewis is for practical purposes a volunteerist, but to maintain credibility with his core audience -libertarian conservative religious types- he plays the role of minarchist. A good show to stay up to date on current events. This American Life - high production value with interesting human experience stories. Unfortunately they only list the last few shows for free now. It used to be you could get shows from years ago in the archives, but they now make you pay for that service. Radio Lab - another high quality NPR production. The show mixes science with the humam experience. honorable mention Modern Manners Guy - silly and fun show about the rituals of navigating thru the maze of culture exectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panacea27 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I've enjoyed listening to the Dr. Drew podcast. He is very skeptical of the psychiatric industry and the reliance on medication. I remember him explicitly saying that all serious addicts have a history of childhood trauma and it is fascinating to listen to him go into depth with people's personal lives very intelligently from a medical perspective. Doug Stanhope's podcast is very funny even if he does tend to glamourize alcoholism. He has been open in his criticism of Dr. Drew for strongly advocating for a fundamentally religious program in AA. What do you do that allows you to listen to podcasts at work? I would be so much more caught up if I had that luxury! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Green Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Weird Medicine with Doctor Steve. It's essentially a medical show where people call in/ write in questions about medical issues. Often issues they'd rather not ask their personal physician. Original, entertaining, and informative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microwave Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks for all the great suggestions; I've subscribed to each one, and will give each a test run to see how I like it. Btw, I do restoration work on houses after fires, floods, mold, etc. Most of the time though I'm in a warehouse cleaning everything from the damaged house and preparing it to go back to the house after reconstruction. Listening to podcasts at work is great because the time goes by quicker and I'm basically getting paid to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
