One public radio podcast that’s fantastic, but too little-known, is “To The Best of Our Knowledge.” It’s an interview show about ideas of all kinds, and always fascinating. You can find shows at http://www.wpr.org/book/podcasts.html.

If you like to cook, one of my favorite public-radio cooking shows of all time is now finally podcasting – The Splendid Table! Lynn Rosetto Kasper has such a great voice! And her interviews are great fun. http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/about/podcast/.

And then, if you’re any kind of a movie-geek, you might like “The Treatment,” which is a Los Angeles-based interview show with directors, writers, actors, etc. Host Elvis Mitchell is one of the best interviewers out there, in my opinion. This show goes waaaaaaaaay deeper than your typical “Entertainment Tonight” format, to delve into the creative process behind film-making. http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510121.

npr weekends has always been synonymous with quilting for me. it never occurred to me, though, to move my sewing machine downstairs to the computer and listen to archives! there are so many TAL that i can hear over and over and over again.

I love “This American Life” I was worried about it being on TV but when I got a dvd of a story of it I was so pleased.

i love to listen to spoken word programs on my ipod while i knit or sew –
my faves are “this american life” the grand-daddy of them all…none better! also on my list…”fresh air” a daily arts, culture, and politics show, “watching the directors” a bi-weekly show about major film directors, and “all songs considered” a show about cool music and musicians. i get all these free from i-tunes.
makes the time really fly
