    The Podcast thread

    OK insomniacs what's your best picks for decent podcasts?

    Freakanomics is good despite the American voices.
    BBC radio 4 has some gems on it like Clive James point of view and History of the world in 100 objects (sounds boring but great once you get into it).

    So sugest-
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I'm not an insomniac, so I listen to Danny Baker (BBC Radio 5) on Sunday mornings with my fry-up.

    Ok. Invisabilia seems good but in listen mode it seems to stop at the crucial moment.

    OK sorted by using FM player

    What's 'listen mode" What device are you using? If you're on Android, I recommend Pocket Casts. Not free, but totally worth a few bucks.

    Do you guys get a tv show called Maron? It's a dry as fuck show about a guy that runs a podcast from his garage. Worth a look imo.

    Good history as I feel that there is always more to learn from the past.

    Three in my list are all related to one show on Triple J in Australia. Dr Karl Kruszelnicki has a one hour show on Thursdays where listeners phone in with science questions, he attempts to answer them or endeavours to find out the answer.
    The hour long show (no music in podcast so only 40-45 mins) podcast is "Dr Karl on triplej"
    He has a short snippet played on air on tuesdays i think, podcast is "Dr Karl's Great Moment in Science"
    and he has another new podcast with a bloke who has his doctorate in mathematics (and was/is a presenter on triple j) called "Sleek Geeks"
    There are two types of people in the world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data sets
