The following list of podcasts are my favourite. I listen to these programs regularly.
The Brain Science Podcast with Virginia Campbell
The Brain Science Podcast with Virginia Campbell
"The Brain Science Podcast was launched in 2006 by Dr. Ginger Campbell, an experienced emergency physician with a passion for exploring how recent discoveries in neuroscience are revealing how our brains make us who we are. This podcast is for non-scientists, scientists, and everyone in between. We interview scientists and discuss the latest books about the brain.Ideas on CBC with Paul Kennedy
Ideas is all about ideas and programs that explore everything from culture and the arts to science and technology to social issues.Spark on CBC with Nora Young
"Spark reflects life in 21st Century Canada. With one eye on the future, host Nora Young guides you through this dynamic era of technology-led change, and connects your life to the big ideas changing our world right now."Savage Love with Dan Savage
Advice columnist Dan Savage answers your sex questions on the Internets.Best of the Left with Jay Tomlinson
"This podcast is a beautifully executed compilation combining the absolute best in left-leaning political news, commentary and occasional comedy with great music to pull it all together. For each edition I choose a political theme and deliver a variety of stories and perspectives from an array of sources on that theme."This American Life from WBEZ Chicago with Ira Glass
"Each episode has a theme... We view the show as an experiment... as journalism... What we like are stories that are both funny and sad. Personal and sort of epic at the same time... We sometimes think of our program as a documentary show for people who normally hate documentaries. A public radio show for people who don't necessarily care for public radio."Radiolab on WNYC
"Radiolab is a show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience."
"Laurie Taylor explores the latest research into how society works and discusses current ideas on how we live today."Freakonomics: The Hidden Side of Everything with Steve Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
