OrangeClouds115 Diary: Air America Premium Can Kiss My Ass reminded me that I have been meaning to do this Diary for a while.  

I got an Ipod for myself this winter, and I am totally addicted to it.  I have already put most of my CD's on there, bought a few more album's, and even an Audio Book. I have probably spent as much on accessories as the original IPod, including a port for my Car Stereo, which totally rocks.

Like Orange, I used to podcast some of AAR shows, but have a problem with their very high (imho) subscription fee.  I do, however, love my podcasts, and will share my favorites below the flip.

Of course, politics and current affairs is my main staple, so to that end -

Democracy Now!- Just in case I miss it in the morning

Radio Nation- Weekly AAR show hosted by Laura Flanders - Currently still free

Mother Jones Radio- Weekly as well - On Air America but the podcast is free still

KCRW's Left, Right and Center- Really good weekly roundup show with actual balance - Matthew Miller (center/moderator) is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, Robert Scheer (left) is a syndicated columnist based at the San Francisco Chronicle, Tony Blankley (right) is editorial page editor of The Washington Times, Arianna Huffington (progressive independent, formerly on the right)

Fired Up Missouri - All politics is local you know.

Barack Obama Podcast - As a bonus, when I play this at work, it pisses off my boss.

And for fun:

NPR: Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!- If you haven't heard this weekly "quiz" show, you don't know what you are missing.

TMBG (They Might Be Giant's) - Music and stories as original as the band

Ministry of Unknown Science- Video - Outrageous Skit Comedy.  My favorite so far is Kung Fu Fuck You

Tiki Bar TV- Video - No idea what is going on with these guys (and a gal)

So that is my current list.  What are your favorite podcasts.  What am I missing?
