I realised today that I spend about 6 hours a week on a train doing nothing, so I was just wondering if anyone listened to any good podcasts that I could download and listen to on my travels.

 

I think it would be best if everyone could categorise them into what subject they are normally on (biology, physics, pop science etc.) as well as how detailed or advanced you would rate them and of course how good they are and why they like them.

The Naked Scientists Podcast - light-hearted and aimed at a general lay audience

 

Material World (BBC) similar format and level

Skeptic's Guide to the Universe - http://www.theskepticsguide.org/

 

Brilliant 1-hour podcast about science, rationality, science education, pseudoscience, etc. The team works well together and they're very funny. It's one of my top Podcasts that I listen to.
