Does anyone listen to one or more science podcasts? What are they, and what's your favorite?
My favorite would be
The Titanium Physicists. They're funny, and do a pretty good job of explaining some complicated stuff. They are a member of the
Brachiolope Media Network, a group of science podcasts.
I've been going through the archives for
Science... sort of, a pretty entertaining one that jumps subjects every week. Parasitology, planetary science, lots of paleontology, etc... Each episode starts with a discussion of "What are you drinking?" It's worth it for the beer discussion alone. They are the founding member of Brachiolope Media.
Technically Speaking focuses on engineering, and one of the hosts designs jet engines. Cooooooool. Also on Brachiolope.
Being a chemistry geek, of course I listen to
The Collapsed Wavefunction, a chemistry podcast. Once again, on Brachiolope.
A while back, the BBC did a great short series called
A Brief History Of Mathematics. Math is hard to do in a purely audio format, so they don't even try. It's a series of ten episodes, fifteen minutes each, about some of the key players in mathematics over the past few hundred years, and what they did. It's very good for casual listening, and a good starting point if you don't know much about this sort of thing.
