What’s your favourite podcast?

Ready to plug in, listen, and pedal to nowhere


I need good things to listen to while I ride away the stress of life on my exercise bike.

Today I listened to This American Life, recommended by one of my Facebook friends. This week was Scenes from a Recession – and I quote the prologue from the website:

“Host Ira Glass notes the sub-industry in journalism right now of reporting anything that looks like a sign of the recession. He then goes on to list a handful of his own favorites, including a dentist who’s seen an increase in broken teeth from grinding, and a decrease in shark attacks.”

Suffice it to say, I was so engaged in the stories that I rode the bike for just over an hour. This is a big deal for me, since I’ve been meaning to exercise more often – *and* I’ve been wanting to listen to some good podcasts. For some reason, I’ve just never gotten into the whole podcast thing, so I’m not sure what to listen to.

Have any suggestions?
