My Drive To Work:
Friday, February 26, 2010 at 4:09AM
I live pretty far from work. Without traffic its a 45 minute drive. And seeing as I live in LA, there is no "without traffic". There is traffic at 3AM somewhere. I guarantee it. I listen to NPR sometimes but it gets repetive so I like to fill the time with podcasts. My three favorite podcasts to listen on the way to work:
1. How Stuff Works with Josh and Chuck - This podcast is part of http://www.howstuffworks.com. They have a few others but this one is my favorite. Josh and Chuck are hilarious and well informed on whatever it is they talk about. And they talk about whatever. Picking the most obscure topics, you get a history, current events and random facts about random things. I also like their Stuff You Missed In History Class. I might have a tiny crush on Miss Katie Lambert. Don't tell the missus.
2. This American Life - The juggernaut of podcasts is hosted by Ira Glass and features stories on a particular topic with a wide variety of angles on that story. Its often deep and poignant and sad and funny. Its a well written painting (yes, that works) on the many facets of the American life and I think anyone would benefit from listening to it.
3. WTF with Marc Meron - I actually just started listening to this this morning but it was mentioned in the newest issue of Wired so I grabbed an episode and loved every minute of it. Hilarious stuff. I can't wait to listen to other ones.
