These are all light(ish) podcasts - they explain some things and they're very entertaining, but they don't get into the really hard-core aspects of their particular fields. You will not hear the actual math equations, for example.
*Planet Money - economics - http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=94411890
*Radio Lab - general science - http://www.radiolab.org/series/podcasts/
*The Skeptics Guide To The Universe - skepticism + misc science/atheism/rationality - http://www.theskepticsguide.org/
And obviously I can't not mention my own podcast, translating Eliezer's Methods of Rationality fic into audio format:
*Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality - pure awesomeness - http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/harry-potter-methods-rationality/id431784580?ign-mpt=uo%3D4
Hi everyone,
currently temping at a job that's very autonomous and boring. good thing is i can listen to stuff on my phone while I do it.
Just wondering what people's favorite podcasts are? particularly education ones to do with neuroscience, psych and social studies.
However as long as it's interesting I'm keen give it a go.
Thanks in advance.
