Friday Fun: Podcast Picks -- A few things that live on my iPod and have contributed to the death of my live radio listening...
The Sly Crooner - Music (laid back lounge jazz) and stories from Swanktown, broadcast from "the intersection of style and substance."
Penn Jillette - The bigger, louder half of Penn and Teller with skeptical (atheist), libertarian, anarcho-capitalist social observations. The most uncommon sense to be found on talk radio, along with some laugh out loud interludes. Be sure to check out the show on "Monkey Tuesdays."
Engines of Our Ingenuity - Short (under 5-minute) bits on "how our culture is formed by human creativity." Not only available as mp3 and podcast, but there's also a complete set of keyworded transcripts. One of this week's episodes talks about the possible validity of the idea of the internet as a series of tubes, giving a historical perspective. If you are at all into the history of technology and science, this is a treasure.
These are all available through iTunes Music Store as well, in the Podcast section.
[Update: After posting this dark and early, one of my other podcast subscriptions showed up this morning with a good piece on how work has been treated in pop culture (the movies). Check out this mp3 from The Fishko Files if you're interested.]
