What's your favorite nerdy podcasts?


Recommended Posts

So I thought I'd start collecting cool podcasts that our nerds can listen to while at work, working out, or just something to nerd out to. I'm a wargaming nerd, so mine are history and war related. 

 

We're Alive - A "Zombie" Story of Survival

The History of Rome

RadioLab

Hex Encounter

Guns, Dice, Butter

This American Life

The 2 Half-Squads

Ancient Warfare Magazine

Meeples and Miniatures

Radio Free Battlefront

WWPD - What Would Patton Do

History of WWII

 

Enjoy!

"I must not fear. / Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing......Only I will remain."

I listen mostly to psychology podcasts, because that is my area and I don't have time for more than these.

WNYC's Radiolab

Radio National's All in the mind

Psychology in Everyday Life

Shrink Rap Radio

Wise Counsel Podcasts

I also listen to a Swedish radio program where a psychologist have a ~30 min talk with someone with a problem. Very educational for general understanding about the variety of people and problems, but also how alike most of us are. SR's Radiopsykologen if someone is interested.

I'm partial to Colt Cabana's 'Art of Wrestling' podcast.

 

Also, pretty much all of the podcasts that the Guardian newspaper produces but especially the tech one. 

 

Question to other podcast listeners, since I'm got rid of iTunes the only thing I miss is the autodownload function for podcasts I was subscribed to. Is there a piece of software out there that isn't horrible that can do this for me, or do I need to finally learn how to use RSS feeds?

I'm a big fan of the How Stuff Works podcasts, especially Stuff You Should Know and Stuff You Missed in History Class.

 

For space, I've been listening to Naked Astronomy for a while.
