That’s a pretty damn good list. I listen to a lot of the same ones and immediately thought of TRS when I saw you had this note. I would suggest testing out the following:

Planet Money – short, and simple about the economy and a bit of politics. Very well produced and quite interesting.

Stuff You Should Know – how stuff works podcast about random things. Coming from the offices of a certain Mrs. Keener, and the hosts Josh and Chuck are incredibly funny, but also do well to inform…. See More

This American Life – this is a top 3 for me. Coming from Chicago public radio, they feature an hours worth of stories around a certain theme. I undoubtedly get sucked in each episode.

Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show – coming straight from the mind of KP himself, it’s a play on Charlie Rose but oh so very funny and tailored for the internet. Each week some sort of celebrity is interviewed delving into how they started out and their journey to where they are today. If you want a quick teaser clip, just search for “kevin pollak larry king game.”

I have a commedy podcast I listen to called uhh yeah dude that I love. Its 2 guys talking about the events of the week. One of the guys is john larroquette’s son. You can check out a couple of their clips on youtube first to see if you think they are funny. I’d recommend the clips ” uhh yeah dude – denny’s”, “uhh yeah dude – parenting” and “uhh yeah dude fergoli”.

You introduced me to a few new podcasts and reminded me of a few others. I listen to a lot of gaming podcasts, but this week, they won’t last me through my commutes. I will be giving some of these a try.

Oh, and don’t forget the app called Listen on the Eris. I don’t even use my iPod for podcasts anymore.
