Just curious, what podcasts do you enjoy ? I'm looking for some new ones to listen to while working out. Here's some of my favorites:

Pop Culture Happy Hour
Here's the Thing with Alec Baldwin
Fresh Air
The Moth

I'd love another good pop culture one to listen to.

My favorite is Dear Prudence, an advice podcast by Slate. If you like pop culture, Slate also has Culture Gabfest.

I like these political podcasts:
- FiveThirtyEight
- Decode DC
- Pod Save America

I listen to a variety of others at random, not regularly:
- NPR On the Media
- NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour
- Love Your Brain - short meditations designed for people with brain injuries but I find them helpful too.

I listen to Gilmore Guys, two guys talking about Gilmore Girls. There's a lot of pop culture in it, and you don't have to watch the show to enjoy the podcast. The guys are funny and intelligent and they have interesting guests.

My favorite podcasts are

What Should I Read Next (a recent discovery!)
Fat Burning Man (about health and fitness)
Here's the Thing with Alec Baldwin
The Urban Monk (also a lot of health related topics)
Just the Right Book (another new discovery)
Tara Brach (buddhist teacher and psychotherapist)

I am trying out Call Your Girlfriend but the jury is out on this one.

I listened to a couple of new good ones this week:

- Dear Sugar - another advice podcast
- Grammar Girl
- First Day Back, season 2. This is the story of a woman who murdered her husband. They were both alcoholics and she shot him but has no memory of it because she blacked out. It's about what happens after, i.e. her First Day Back.

Just heard about a new app on Sorta Awesome called RadioPublic. They curate podcast recommendations and have suggested playlists from other notable podcasters, like Roman Mars, The Baby Sitters Club Club (another one I've enjoyed, btw), etc. I haven't tried it yet, but sounds fun.

You know, in the earlier days when Stitcher finished with the podcast you picked to listen to it would say "listeners also like....." and start another one. This was a great way to find new podcasts! At some point I upgraded and lost that feature. Sounds like RadioPublic would be good for that. I may check it out, but I feel like I have so many podcasts I love at this point. It's a little nuts. I listen to a lot of these that have been mentioned, and a lot of nutrition-related ones.
