Podcasts

You don't have to own an iPod to listen to 'pod'casts. This has somehow become a misnomer due to overwhelming popularity of iPod but honestly podcasts are just internet radio programmes in normal mp3 or avi formats. But, itune is so far the best podcast player as it automatically updates your podcast subscriptions and sort them in folders. Here're some selections I'd like to recommend. Yes a very long nerdy list. In practice I only listen to Naked Scientist and skip around the rest.
