The Schrug

My brother got me an iPod nano for my birthday. (I think it’s the first Apple-manufactured device I’ve owned in 10 years.) Now I have to decide what to put on it besides music.

So far I’ve subscribed to four NPR podcasts:

1. Car Talk
2. Wait, Wait … Don’t Tell Me
3. Fresh Air
4. Krulwich on Science

I need to broaden my horizons. I’m looking for podcasts that are educational but not soporific, humorous but not banal, meaningful but not pedantic, intelligent but not impenetrable. Any suggestions? Please comment and include URL if possible. Thanks.
