Science Podcasts


Podcasts are time-shifted audio programs. Another way to think of it is to equate podcasting with Tivo®, as in Tivo® for radio. Most of the best are amateur productions. No need to have an iPod®, any mp3 player will work and you can even listen at your computer. To get the whole scoop on podcasting check this Wikipedia link. Here is the list of my current favorites science programs. Over the next few days I’ll post more of my favorites from other categories.
