Will probably finish the Anand Syed saga on tomorrow's long run. What's my next move?

I'm a big fan of radiolab, definitely check it out if you have not already.

This American Life also would be a good choice if you liked serial since it's kind of related.

Second season of Serial was about Bowe Bergdahl. It was pretty interesting. I like This American Life and Fresh Air. The Frontline podcast is good but new episodes are somewhat infrequent. The Freakonomics podcast is another that has some interesting subject matter from time to time.

Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell. Can't recommend this one enough......

Freakonomics should be on everyone's list of podcasts, if it isn't already.

Just subscribed to Embedded but haven't listened to any episodes yet.

Second season of Serial was good, but nowhere near as good as the first. I think this was mostly because 1) Bergdahl is a bit of an unsympathetic protagonist (although I would never question his grit) and 2) the case is still largely unresolved.

+1 on all of these plus radiolab. The Malcolm Gladwell podcast is excellent.

Babbittville Radio is the only Triathlon podcast that stuck for me. Aside from that I listen to Reply All and Men In Blazers. Also never been an audiobook guy but I tried one recently and managed to stick with it.

Can I plug my own podcast here ... will that be annoying? If you're interested It's called Mile after Mile and I interview regular everyday age group athletes who do cool and inspiring things or interesting races.

I also like the Kona Edge. Which is not my podcast but is all folks who have raced in Kona.

And I'm a big fan of the Trainer Road podcast for when I'm on the bike trainer ... using Trainer Road.

You might not have been looking for tri related podcasts in which case these are terrible suggestions.

The Moth - Great storytelling.

AMP: The Story - More great stories. Part 2 of the 09-21-09 Health Care South of the Boarder episode is probably my favorite story of all time (Robert Johnson's Fighting through tough times).

Radiolab Presents: More Perfect - New, but promising.

+1 on all of these plus radiolab. The Malcolm Gladwell podcast is excellent.

Even though I stopped listening to anything while riding or running- I love any of the below for longer low intensity workouts.

+1 on all of these (especially Gladwell's which is my current favorite). Also if you like the narrative storytelling you should also check out the grand daddy This American Life. Also everything from Gimlet Media especially Start-Up & Reply All (all come from the same school), Criminal,

I also like Revel which is from the Center for Investigative Reporting & ProPublica.

I have both of these on the rotation.

Also enjoying "More Perfect" which is produced by Radio Lab.

Stuff You Should Know is another I enjoy.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying more perfect also.

If you are into design, check out "99% invisible". They are short but I really enjoy them. Also freakonomics is a solid recommendation.
