Podcast goodness

I am constantly amazed at how much free, quality media is available by podcasts. I thought I would list some of my favorite podcasts just in case any of you aren't taking advantage:

The Classic Tales Podcast: short stories by Thomas Hardy, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathanial Hawthorne, etc.

Escape Pod and Escape Pod Classic: short sci-fi stories. Generally, these are stories written in the last 20 years, although one anniversary show featured Asimov. They also broadcast the Hugo short story nominees

The New Yorker Fiction: contemporary short stories

NPR Selected Shorts: contemporary short stories and poems read by famous actors

NPR Wait Wait Don't Tell Me: a hilarious, vaguely left-leaning (except for the occasional addition of P.J. O'Rourke) current events game show

NPR Most Emailed Stories: exactly what the name says

This American Life: Ira Glass' well-known show for Chicago Public Radio

The Sounds In My Head: a bi-weekly music show done by some random guy in New York. Amazingly, it sounds professionally produced even though it isn't, and the guy's quirky tastes have introduced me to lots of great new music.

All of these can be downloaded through iTunes or from the individual websites.
