This is a shameless promotion and thanks to the producers of my two favorite podcasts, The World's Technology Podcast and Common Sense with Dan Carlin.
The first is the only tech podcast I've heard that really focuses on technology as a human endeavor, not a bunch of gadgets. Clark Boyd hosts and produces the show, which includes stories of interest from the BBC, PRI and longer versions of interviews than could run on the radio. It very intentionally doesn't cover things like new versions of fake-fruit company products, but if you want to know what people are doing to influence their world, and those actions affect others, this is the show for you. Also, it has bagpipes.
The second is a political commentary show hosted by the "moderately radical" Dan Carlin. As a former TV newsman at LA's ABC affiliate, he knows all about the absurdity that is big media today. As a student of history, with an excellent history podcast as well, his perspectives take the long view. Some of his policy prescriptions are a bit outlandish, but they are well argued and supported.
I generally listen while baking, but I'd be happy to replay them for anyone who comes over for a slice.
