STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

My husband likes The Moth and the New Yorker's "The New York Minute Show."  I love Splendid Table
We listen to Fresh Air interviews a lot too.

I'm so glad you brought this up because I am a podcast addict and I am always looking for new ones.  My favorites are as follows:

-Lipgloss and Laptops-The two women on this are so odd to me (listen and you'll see what I mean) but they review different cosmetic products and have some interesting conversations amongst themselves.  They are a bit uptight about things but whatever I still like this podcast.

-Betty in the Sky with a Suitcase-A Delta flight attendants brings you stories from the sky. Very cute and entertaining.

-Five Hundy by Midnight-This one can be annoying but they talk about Las Vegas news and happenings.

-Manic Mommies-If you are a mommy this one is a must.  I can totally relate to these two mommies from Boston.  Love them.

-Savvies (video podcast)-I used to really like this one too but the girl who does this podcast hasn't produced a new one in over a year.  I liked it because the podcast girl would go to stores like Jcrew or Ann Taylor and review what was in the stores.  I wish they would bring this one back to life as it was a great concept-maybe someone here could do a podcast like this???

-Clark Howard-Consumer and financial advice.

-All the NPR shows-love them ALL!  Especially This American Life.

I listen to:

Grammer Girl
Modern Manners Guy
Legal Lad
Nutrition Diva (although sometimes I'm skeptical of what she says - she doesn't back a lot of stuff up with facts or research as far as I can tell)
--the above podcasts are all part of the Quick and Dirty Tips network--

The Ethicist (he takes listener questions about ethical problems)
Grammar Grater
Podictionary (he explains the etymology of words)
60-second psych
60-second science

and my FAVORITE is Radio Lab by WNYC. I started a thread like this a while back and Squishy mentioned it. They're usually an hour long, but SO fascinating. I don't usually have an hour block of time when I can just sit and pay attention to a podcast, so I save them up for road trips or listen to them if I have two days in a row when I don't have anything else to do for my lunch break.

I just subscribed to Stuff your Mom Never Told You and Stuff You Should Know - they look really interesting, can't wait to try them out! Thanks, guzman!

Oh this is a neat thread. I always hear about podcasts but never really try them out. Last time I was planning my Disney trip I listened to the WDW Radio Show which was pretty neat and informative. I'll have to give a few of these a try.

Aurora-if you are planning a Disney trip you must listen to the Dis Unplugged.  The guy who owns disboards.com runs it and it is great.  These guys are a hoot and they are always giving away free stuff including cruises and trips to Disney.  They do reviews of Disney restaurants and talk about Disney news and stuff like that-another favorite podcast of mine!

 

OK, I just have to say that on two 1.5 hour trips yesterday, I listened to Stuff your Mom Never Told You and Stuff You Should Know and I loved them!! Thanks so much!
