I don’t understand. What is this “not NPR”? Is it like Bizarro Earth?

I will give Science Talk another try.

I listened to The Treatment + the Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe. I liked them both. Elvis Costello is a good interviewer–he asks good q’s and stays out of the way.

I listened to 2 episodes of Skeptics, one I liked a lot, the other was so-so. Interesting enough to listen to a few more episodes at least.

Does it need to be said that I agree with your two podcasts? Nah, probably not. But I’ll add three additional:

NPR’s StoryCorps (sappy, but hey - I like that kind of thing)
and…are you ready for this - the next two are actually NOT NPR…

National Geographic Worldtalk and Science Talk - from Scientific American podcast.

Actual Kate agrees with Jason’s top two, and adds The Skeptics Guide to the Universe. Also, the SCIAM podcast is pretty great. I think Steve Mirsky is a trip.

Thank you, pale imitation of Kate.

This American Life podcast rules. The Penn Jillette podcast is good too. The radio show doesn’t play anymore but I find the old ones entertaining.

I like ASC a lot. I will check out The Treatment–haven’t heard of it.
