Some things to listen to...

Some podcast recommendations - in case there weren't enough on the web already!

It's -5° outside... so while my fingers thawI thought I 'd jot down a list of podcasts I'm currently listening to on my way into work....

Web & Tech

  • Boagworld - slightly off the wall but fun an interesting...  David recommended these guys to me. It's an hour long show from Paul Boag & Marcus Lillington.  Full of useful insights & some interesting interviews..  the first show I listed to, for example, had an interview with Joe Stump from Digg about web scalability.

BBC, History & Comedy

Most of the rest of what I'm listening to comes from the BBC at the moment.  Quick list for now because I must get on...

  • FOOC - From our own correspondent is a weekly collection of short reports from the BBCs foreign correspondents.  Always interesting, insightful and simply different to the normal homogonised and sanitised drivel that you get on the news.  A definate must.
     
  • In our Time - A slightly random Radio 4 (Wed 10am?) show hosted by Melvyn Bragg and discussing odd bits of history, science, politics and philosophy with a few experts.  Always pretty interesting; previous topics in the past few weeks include 'The Great Fire of London', 'Heat (the history of the concept of thermal energy - seriously, for an hour)', 'The Great Reform Act' etc..
     
  • A Point of View
     
  • Start the week
     
  • Friday Night Comedy

... any recommendations are extremely welcome!
