1. SG,
   You actually got me listening to All Songs Considered. Thanks for that. A couple more that I like:
   - This American Life
   - The Roadhouse (an hour of blues)
   - NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me
   - KCRW’s Good Food (a food show out of LA)
   - Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child (kid’s music, done by a law professor in Mass.)
   - NPR: Food

   And, even though you said secular only:

   - NPR: Religion (it’s a summary of their religious stories from the last week.) I don’t think this technically violates your request, because it’s not advocating a religion or preaching from within one. It’s generally interesting, too. (Like last week I learned that the United Methodist Convention of DC/Baltimore had hired a Rabbi.)

10. I miss Penn Julliet’s radio show which was available as a podcast. Fantastic show I listened to on my iPod all the time.

    Beyond that it’s Twit, the Lost Podcast, sometimes The Glenn and Helen show (of Instapundit fame), the New Scientist Podcast, Science Friday from NPR, occasionally Engadget, the Nature Podcast, and the Scientific American podcast.

    I have to admit that since Christmas I’ve not listened to as much as I used to.

11. In terms of TV show insights, I have to say that the BSG podcast is really very good.

    Comment by Supergenius — April 13, 2007 @ 4:13 pm

12. The funniest BSG one is the one where he’s drinking way too much rum and is completely sloshed by the end. I forget what episode that was.

16. jjohnsen — Filmspotting, good call. I’m surprised that doesn’t make more people’s lists.

17. I’m a huge film buff, so when I got into podcasts I downloaded every movie podcast I could find. Very few made it past me listening to one or two episodes, but Filmspotting (previously Cinacast) is one I listen too as soon as it’s available. Smart commentary, different segments that are actually making a point, good music. It’s really one of the most professional podcasts I’ve heard.
