I was doing the dishes.  It was good because Russ Roberts was talking to me.  I’m not ashamed to say that podcasts have changed my life.  More specifically:

• Planet Money: an entertaining look at serious economic issues.
• Fresh Air: I used to be annoyed by Terry Gross.  Now I have no idea how that could have been possible and I wish she were my friend.
• EconTalk: Russ Roberts from George Mason university (libertarian bastion) discusses economic issues of various kinds. I think I got into this one through Yaw.  It’s one of the best at giving me food for thought.
• The Moth: hilarious stories every week.  I sometimes cry they’re so funny.  While doing the dishes.
• This American Life: each week, of course, they choose a theme.  And they bring you three or four stories on that theme.
• Radiolab: blend of science and culture with Robert Krulwich, NPR science correspondent.

No wonder I have forgotten what boredom even is… there’s just too much syndicated content for it.
