"Cell Monthly" LOL. Shortest podcast ever.

"This monthly on Cell Monthly... Still really tiny? Yup."

Actually, that's one of the longer ones. It's typically over an hour and features at least one extended interview with a researcher of a big story.

For you podcasting pleasure, feel free to add Jayson's wacky, wonderful, midcentury, space-age pop extravaganza:

The difference between my Tivo and yours is hysterical(ly embarrassing). I really actually veg out when I watch TV. L might put it differently, maybe something about "trash?" Think Project Runway, What not to wear and all the CSIs and Law and Order I can get my hands on. And of course, the Daily Show. We have House and The Office in common.

As for my iPod (which is non-functioning, stupid apple battery), I'm on Book 4 of Harry Potter. That's scientific, right?

I'm a great academic, aren't I?

sweet. Radiolab is my favorite favorite pod cast. I think around 75% of my contribution to the conversation is based on something I heard on Radiolab.

I just listened to the "War of the Worlds" one. Fascinating.

I was going to do a post on our blog inspired by yours but we were too embarrassed by our TiVo recordings we nixed the idea. Corner Gas (Canadian show), People's Court (distraction show while cleaning, baking, etc.)... Seriously? It's embarrassing.
