The History of Rome by Mike Duncan is pretty awesome. Can't wait for his Revolutions podcast to start in September.

I guess a caveat that once you get to about episode 15 when he upgrades his audio those early ones sound very meh sound quality wise. He really hits a stride by the Second Punic War (in the mid 20's of episodes) everything after that is pretty great. Immensely enjoyed it. Takes while to get through it all, there's over 170 'sodes.

i like those too.  i'm at about 75 now.  great fallback podcast for when current events podcasts aren't coming fast enough.


oh, for sports (sorta), the tony kornheiser show is podcast crack.

i thought podcasts were just tapings of regular everyday radio shows, had no idea they were the internet radio's equivalent to It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. 

kinda disappointed here, folks

The Evening Jones with Bomani Jones
Slate.com Hang Up and Listen
The Dan LeBatard Show
cbs.com Eye on College Basketball
cbs really needs to just copy how ESPN makes everything available on one app. Finding Gottlieb's whole show to download is ridiculously difficult compared to when he was at ESPN

Reccomendo: The Bugle

It's my favorite new (to me) podcast so far. Really funny.
