I love listening to podcasts. They are free, can be as informative as books, and in my opinion, a much better "time-waster" (or maybe more of a "time-filler") than listening to music. (And I really love listening to music, so that is a bold statement.) Anyway, if you haven't checked out iTunes podcasts before, you should definitely download a few and see what sparks your interest.
Some podcasts that I currently subscribe to are Best of YouTube, Freakonomics Radio (especially interesting if you've read the book Freakonomics), NPR: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Stuff You Should Know (possibly my favorite), TED Talks, and This American Life.
Finally, this is less of an opinion and more of a question: Is anyone in AmCon an avid listener of podcasts?!? Which ones do you recommend? Why?... Happy listening! :)
You know what you should listen to!?

They explore really deep questions like the nature of time and the universe, the human mind, dreams, etc.
YOU'D LOVE IT!
