TV on the radio
So, it's once again to check in with what I'm listening to these days! I know you all care so much, but with 1 hour commute plus an hour or two of downtime at work each day, I listen to my radio a lot. And by radio, I mean my MP3s on my PDA. Sure, I'd get an iPod (heck, I won an iPod Nano at a company presentation last month), but I need something that will keep me from being totally clueless when it comes to my schedule, so the calendar on the PDA is a must-have.
ANYWAYS, onto what music I listen to. Actually, it's kind of lame, I don't listen to a lot of it. My one constant source of music is the CBC Radio 3 podcast, which is a weekly hour-long show that highlights the best independent Canadian music. Because you probably aren't going to hear enough new/good Canadian music on your local Top 40 station.
Besides CBC Radio 3, my player is full of other podcasts, namely: The Penn Jillette Radio Show, The Sound of Young America, Wiretap with Johnathan Goldstein (podcasted by yours truly), This Week in Tech, Quirks and Quarks, Grammar Girl, NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me!, Security Now and The Onion Radio News.
If I'm calculating it right, that adds up to about 11 hours of audio per week, and my free radio-listening time is right around the same, so I'm always just getting up to speed before the next week starts.
So, as a sciencetitian wanting to hear cool new music, and all around nerd, what other radio/music should I be listening to?

Why am I not surprised by your list of podcasts. I guess you are part of the 12% of net users that listen to podcasts. Though I'm with you on Quirks and Quarks and NPR. But, thank god for another kindred spirit of anti-top 40 music.
