So i figured I would start this thread as a way for everyone to share some favourite podcasts of theirs. I am always looking for new ways to fill up my commute on the train, so if anybody has anything interesting, please do share.

My favourite for the last few years has been Milton Rosenberg's Extension 720. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves history and politics. Milt has been doing this show from Chicago for decades, and has amazingly fascinating guests...always of the highest calibre in their respective fields....whether its scientists, historians, coin collectors or word-smiths. Everything is done in a distinguished and old-world tone that you don't often see these days...think of your grandfather telling war-stories.

I would recommend the history/literature shows more-so than the political ones, but they are nonetheless both great. He leans toward the right-wing side of the political spectrum, but in a very professional and respectful way (and i say that as someone who leans to the left).

Make sure to take a look at the audio archive....it has some of the best stuff.
