My commute is so short I hardly have time to listen to anything. One podcast lasts me the whole week
I'm only 2.5 miles from the office and it takes me 5 minutes.My commute is a bit shorter. About four feet. If done lazily and correctly, I can actually make it to my office chair with only one step and a pivot!

Doug Loves Movies is a good podcast if you like movie trivia and things film-related.
I used to enjoy the language learning podcasts when I was commuting into NYC. I solved the commute issue, so these days I'm listening to music mostly. -

Yeah, I'll probably do that once the weather warms up a bit.

I work from home if not going to a client site, so my only walking is on a treadmill. I could listen to podcasts I guess, but I usually, relax in a community while I walk.

Normally works for me from the iPhone.

@scottalanmiller there, post edited. must have been due to poor LTE signal at the time or something.
-
Yup, looks good now. Now to work on the lighting, lol.
-
It's a gym and I did not stop walking to take the picture. That would defeat the purpose of being on the treadmill in the first place. Though even for a unstable picture, that one is kinda crappy.
-
Hmm hahaha pretending your walking lols

Not a podcast, but using—
Basically, these are re-packages university lectures from inspired professors and enthusiastic about their subject.
-
Those are pretty cool. iTunes university has good stuff too.
-
@scottalanmiller iTunes U is strangely positioned. Hard to find it if not already aware of it. For instance, it is deselected from being visible on default iTunes software install. As they are more straight classroom recordings, content is less polished and takes more time to find the gems.
Overlooked mentioning the Great Courses are pricy, however have seen them at various libraries. A rather good one, getting away from I.T. and relevant at the same time—
- Art of Teaching: Best Practices from a Master Educator
- http://www.thegreatcourses.com/tgc/Courses/course_detail.aspx?cid=2044
- These often do have full text transcript books and an accompanying guidebook
Amazon's Audible can be a way to get them more affordably—
-
iTunesU is now a separate install completely which is nice but confusing.

Other ones I love are This American Life and RadioLab.
These are my favorites too. Also, if I miss CarTalk from NPR, I'll listen to the Podcast. I'm not the biggest car enthusiast, but the episodes are funny, and they don't always talk about cars
-
@KatieUnitrends oh yeah, forgot about CarTalk. I'm sad that it has ended, but there is so much of the back catalog to listen to.

I'm currently addicted to this:
