Today, before a road trip up to Minnesota, Nico asked:

Labs and I are driving lots in the next 2 weeks. Got any recommended cool podcasts for us?

Let me just dig into my bookmarks…

A 1 hour history of the Detroit riots:

Radiolab, various length shows about pseudo-scientific stuff… well done:

The CBS ones are popular:
Download the episodes: http://www.mysteryshows.com/CBS-Radio-Mystery-Theater/
Genre search within the above: http://web.otrdb.com/shows/cbs_rmt/pages/eps_search.php

There are 800+ free downloads at audible.com:
Hit their homepage, hit browse audio, then advanced search, and use the “Regular Price” dropdown to select free.

And, of course, I always enjoy This American Life, where you can download the latest episode free:

Enjoy!
