New podcast: 'Freakonomics' by the authors of the book by the same name.
Recent episode featured an interview with Terrence Newman if that's what you're into. The episode was about risk and fear.
I really like the book and enjoy the 'Freakonomics' blog. Some of their theories seem totally bogus to me and they pick and choose their data points, but they definitely ask some fun questions (from the book: "What do real estate agents and the KKK have in common?").

The still rather new Jonah Keri podcast is excellent. While it's a bit baseball-heavy, it probably appeals to the masses. The most recent episode lists @kentremendous (FJM) as a guest. Haven't listened to it yet, but my expectations are high.

If you haven't already, you should check out Radiolab.

If you haven't already, you should check out Radiolab. You probably saw this already. But absolutely beautiful video on symmetry.

Yes, and these two as well, which were inspired by Radiolab (older ones):
I think Radiolab is now my favorite podcast. I think it's better than This American Life (which is saying an awful lot).

I like the Parabola one. But then, I would.

I think Lebatard is my favorite Simmons guest.

WTF with Marc Maron.
I can't say I've heard it yet, but he's had some pretty funny guests on: Aubrey Plaza, Wyatt Cynac, Demitri Martin, Will Arnett, etc.

'The Basketball Jones', possibly my favorite podcast on earth, is now going to be on Grantland once a week for their Friday "overdose" episodes. I feel weird about this. I feel like the Jonah Keri podcast lost a lot of its interestingness when it moved over to Grantland.

I feel like the Jonah Keri podcast lost a lot of its interestingness when it moved over to Grantland. This is really sad as TBJ was probably my favorite podcast. --> blogs.thescore.com/tbj/2013/08/30/programming-note-thank-you-tbjers/ However, I wonder if this means they too will be joining Grantland. I'd prefer they stay with the Score, but if it means they get paid I'm all for it.
