John Sowash wrote a post mentioning his favorite podcasts, so I thought I’d post my top-list.
- 4 Guys Talking – Scott Mcleod et. al discuss the big questions in education, and the try to sort them out.
- CBC Radio: Spark – This Canadian radio show seems to cover geeky tech, biotech, and tech and culture really well.
- EdTechTalk – There’s something for every educator with shows covering leadership, classroom practice, and, of course, educational technology.
- Learning Matters with John Merrow – He’s been covering American education for years. Recently, he and his colleagues have conducted excellent interviews with leaders in both New Orleans and D.C.
- Harvard Business IdeaCast – The best in leadership talk.
- MacBreak Weekly – Leo Laporte recently had Levar Burton as guest. He’s the Reading Rainbow guy and he’s a Mac-head!
- Mars Hill Bible Church – Rob Bell teaches a little more than half the weekend sermons. All the teaching at this church is thought provoking and Christ-centered.
- Neue Ministry – Church leadership interviews from the Relevant Magazine crew.
- NPR: Live Concerts from All Songs Considered – I highly recommend Radiohead, Belle and Sebastian, and Jose Gonzalez.
- NPR: Planet Money – Coverage of the financial crisis and simple explanations of how it happened and how it may get better.
- Steve Brown, Etc. – I just started listening to this interview show hosted by a Rerformed Theological Seminary Prof. Really deep discussions, but really funny at the same time.
- This American Life – The best storytelling in any media, bar none.
- 60 Minutes Podcast – I work on Sunday nights, so I don’t get to watch 60 Minutes on CBS. Fortunately, they post the full audio from the show on iTunes weekly.
