Now that I'm That Guy, walking around the city listening to my iPod, does anyone have any podcasts they'd like to recommend? My attention span is bad with lots of talking if it's narrative, so sadly This American Life is out, as is anything similar. Got anything else?

i enjoy all of these, and think you would too

At least you're not That Guy wandering around everywhere with his micro-mini invisible bluetooth headset talking loudly to thin air. I always want to punch That Guy in the nose.

I'm not That Guy yet, at least...

Well, if that day ever comes... just make sure to get the iPunch for our convenience, eh? ;)

www.thestranger.com/savage the Savage Lovecast. I think it's pretty great, and very informative, and I'm bummed I never have time to listen anymore.

Pussy! But pussy in a good way!

I heard he says that a lot...

That was me, btw.

Ditto. I have difficulty listening to talk audio myself, but Savage Love podcast has short and sweet Q&A and is almost always entertaining or educational.

This Week in Tech - twit.tv
There are bunch of other podcacts on that site also depending on what you're interested in.

NPR Science Friday

ESPN radio has a bunch of podcasts

Filmspotting for quality movie reviews and discussions.

Coverville if you like covers.

Paul & Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average)

--Jeff

Woohoo!

i just found that by chance two days ago, actually...

i freaked out... "PAUL AND STORM?!?!? LIKE FROM DAVINCI'S NOTEBOOK?!?!?"

All of the podcasts that I listen to (or used to, as I am stalwartly refusing to be That Guy anymore) are news related. Here goes, from best to not-as-best:

NPR - On the Media (weekly) (although maybe it's too much narrative, it's still one of the goddamned best and most informative newscasts ever. Very good for you)
NPR - Wait wait dont tell me (weekly)
NPR - News and Notes (daily)
BBC - world service (all kinds of wacky frequencies and formats)

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is my personal fav. I got more weird looks on the 125 into Philly as that show caused me to snort my breakfast. :)

This is now happening to me every week on my walk to work. People are starting to give me looks. Best podcast ever.

my suggestions for you (all of which can be found in the itunes music store for free):

get-it-done guy's quick and dirty tips to work less and do more
modern manners guy's quick and dirty tips for a more polite life (he kind of reminds me of you, actually...)
60-second psych (it's interesting new scientific info about the brain and behaviors, but it's not long or drawn out. they mean the 60 second thing...)

Not a podcast, strictly, but have you been to Daytrotter.com? Dozens of indie artists stop by their studios to re-cut a handful of their best tunes, and the site maintains a downloadable archive of them all. Great new takes on old favorites, and a fun way to shop for new artists.
