Podcasts
My daily commute adds up to about ten hours a week. A good portion of it is in tunnels, so listening to the radio is not possible. I used to read a lot but podcasts have just about pushed this activity out. I always have a printout of an article handy in case I do feel like reading something. I'm currently making my way through this excellent set of recommendations at Ask MetaFilter. As I said though, listening to podcasts is what I do mostly. This is where I get my ten hours:
First, a range of ABC Radio National programmes – All In The Mind • Counterpoint • Late Night Live • Life Matters • National Interest • The Philosopher's Zone • The Science Show. MeFiPodcast duh! Open Source with Christopher Lydon, invariably has interesting and informative interviews. As their catchphrase says "An American conversation with global attitude". The often funny, always entertaining, with great science content - The Skeptics Guide to the Universe. Always funny and hugely entertaining with obscure facts, flying tangents and stories - Widely Ranging Interests.

I can understand why this was deleted rather than closed, but I wanted to preserve it, because Daphne's Blog rocks.

I wish to tell you about an amazing person.
Look, how he has restored his Subaru by himself! Photos show in what conditions he was doing that.
I think, that if this person appeared on a space station in a difficult situation, he would manage to repair everything!
But why he does this by himself? The same idea has occurred to me. There is only one answer – he just doesn’t have money for the repair workshop. For me the only fact is important - this person has not lost his heart and has not got rid of his car!
