So I find myself listening to podcasts a lot recently.  Some are radio shows, and some are stand alone podcasts.  I listen to them when I'm driving for work, or in the office (not doing field service).  Even the ones that are more entertaining, I find make you think.  Sometimes they are just background noise, but I catch little bit's and pieces here and there.  Anyways, here are a few that I recommend.   Do you have any podcasts that you really enjoy?

Revisionist History by Malcom Gladwell -  Malcom is a great story teller.  I could probably listen to him talk about anything.  His podcasts has a number of interesting ideas.  I recently really enjoyed his podcast "12 Rules for Life"  http://revisionisthistory.com/

The way that I heard it by Mike Row - This is the dirty jobs guy.  Again, a perfect voice for narrating, and can make most anything interesting.  This is one of the top short podcasts where he will craft a story about some one in history, and normally in an unusual way, that you may not realize who he is talking about to the end.   Both entertaining and informative.  http://mikerowe.com/podcast/

Patterson in Pursuit by Steve Patterson -Steve is an academic who is pursuing philosophy outside of acedemia.  In fact, he doesn't think too much of the current nature of academia.  There are a lot of philosophical topics which he covers, and often interviews people and discusses topics of interest with them. I find this podcast informative and thought provoking.  There have been a few podcast which where just dry philosophy, and not as interesting, but overall; I like it.   I actually found this author while looking up things in discussion here.  http://steve-patterson.com/podcast/

Unbelievable by Justine Brierley - I listen to a number of Christian podcasts, but this is one, that I thought may be of interest to those on an atheist forum (if there's interest, I can recommend a few others).  The Unbelievable podcast is from a British radio show of the same name.  Justin often has two guests who debate various topics, which mostly center around Christian interests.   Because of this, there are often atheists who come on the show to debate with Christians.  Justin is a fair and balanced moderator, who has a talent for keeping things on topic.  A continuing praise is that listeners do not realize that he is a Christian, until they listen to a number of shows.  This is an excellent podcasts to here multiple views on Christian issues both from Christians and non-Christians. https://www.premierchristianradio.com/Sh...e/Episodes

So; does anyone here podcast?   Do you have something that you would recommend I add to the list? 

If you do podcast, and have an apple device, I also highly recommend  the "iCatcher" app.
