Podcasts Worth Listening To

You've got a limited amount of time in your life, so don't waste it with a podcast that doesn't give you everything you are looking for.  Check these podcasts out:
  1. Too Beautiful to Live with Luke Burbank: I gave this podcast a try on a bit of a whim, after hearing Burbank on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me: The NPR News Quiz.  TBTL is hilarious, contemporary, and updates every weekday. 
  2. Giant Bombcast is a whomping 2.5 hour (!!) weekly podcast where four hapless gamers discuss their past week.  While this might sound as boring as it could, the show works because the guys have real personality and good, soulful voices. 
  3. The Six Pack: again, a podcast I was turned on to from my undying love of Wait, Wait and one of its frequent panelists, Mo Racca.  Mo was featured on The Six Pack which is two (cute) guys talking news, celebrities, life, and being gay dudes.  Great fun for a weekly podcast subscription.
  4. And of course Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me - how can you not love Peter Sagal's hosting us through this dynamic (and often hilarious) exploration of the weeks news through limericks, lightning rounds and bluffs?
