{     Twelve Podcasts that I listen to at work.     }    

1. This American Life Podcast - No more having to sit though Michael Feldman's 'Whad'Ya Know?' to hear the 2nd best show on public radio.

2. Sound of Young America Podcast - Interviews with Devin The Dude and Terry Gilliam could only come together in host Jessie Thorn's perfect world where the only discerning factor for guests is that they are "awesome". The Sound of Young America is the 1st best show on public radio (if you're lucky enough to have it) and by far the best podcast going today.

3. 43 Folders Podcast - The sister podcast to Merlin Mann's productivity blog 43 Folders. Merlin is not so much a productivity guru but more of an AA sponsor for the disorganised.

4. - Boing Boing Boing Podcast - Boing Boing the blog only less browser refreshing.

5. Ebert & Roeper Podcast - Basically the Ebert & Roper show clocking in at about 17 minuets without most of the ads.

6. Jarvcast - The butterscotch voice of Jarvis Cocker reading you Icelandic Folk tales and short stories by J. D. Salinger.

7. Mystery Theatre Podcast - Good old timey mystery radio drama with over actors talking about drunks, shrunken heads, dead spouses, and other oddities.

8. The Economist Podcast Too short but it's a nice little one off about smart stuff.

9. Savage Love Podcast - Podcast from sex advice columnists and "Where's the beef" lady of the new definition of Santorum Dan Savage. Smut to make you blush during your bus ride to work.

10. Science Friday Podcast - The resounding nerd alert of NPR shows.

11. Slate Daily Podcast - I wish they would commit to full length podcast but it's a good daily musing about some random subject.

12. Word Nerds Podcast The funness of teachers the you liked in college talking bout' the origins and uses of words with the unfunness of their taste in music.

13. Pandora.com (Bonus non-podcast Baker's dozen entry) - A desk jobers best friend.
