Radio is OK, but sometimes it's nice to turn off the chatter and listen to something truly informative and entertaining. I'm looking forward to loading up my iPod with your collective suggestions and passing along what I can to my faculty and students. Thanks Ann and Damian for the great suggestions!

I like Dan Savage's Savage Love (DEFINITELY not work safe/appropriate, but always insightful and funny), The Guardian's Football Weekly and Islamophonic podcasts, and HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher - love Maher, never seem to catch his show, but just discovered that HBO releases the audio from each show via podcast a few days after broadcast. Of the four, only Islamophonic has given me any fodder for classroom discussion, but what I really like about it is that it's presented by a young person who talks about Islam in terms of the issues that modern young Muslims face. I think it's very accessible to young people, and I've recommended it to my students. Like Ann, I listen to podcasts on my commute (mine’s just under an hour each way).

I hadn't looked at it before. I don't have a long commute, but when I'm on my own in the car I enjoy listening to various podcasts. Lately, I've been going through a lot of the <a href="http://bobsprankle.com/bitbybit_wordpress/" rel="nofollow">Bit by Bit </a> podcasts. Back in January, maybe even December, there were some nice podcasts of sessions at a conference. I've also been listening to <a href="http://virtualstaffroom.net/" rel="nofollow">The Virtual Staffroom</a>. There was a nice discussion recently with Susan Sendro, Kim Cofino, and Chris Betcher. I'm always on the lookout for new listening material. Ann I like the EPN site. I hadn’t looked at it before.
