Free Podcasts I Like

I like podcasts, and these are the podcasts I like

Often when I'm relaxing on the beach, or taking a walk alone, or doing yard work, I use my iPod.  I have found that, while I enjoy some music, I tend to enjoy talk and good discussion even more.  So I have loaded my iPod with podcasts, and refresh them regularly.

Here are some podcast sources that I particularly like:

APM: Marketplace Tech Report

By American Public Media

Marketplace Tech with David Brancaccio is a daily radio segment and Podcast produced by Marketplace from American Public Media exploring the world of technology and the Internet.

Freakonomics Radio

By Stephen J. Dubner

In their books "Freakonomics" and "SuperFreakonomics," Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner explore "the hidden side of everything," with stories about cheating schoolteachers, self-dealing real-estate agents, and crack-selling mama’s boys. The Freakonomics Radio podcast, hosted by Dubner, carries on that tradition with weekly episodes. Prepare to be enlightened, engaged, perhaps enraged, and definitely surprised.
