Every morning I walk out with the dogs to get the paper. (See: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oic0c-6Y1ec" rel="nofollow">Claire's YouTube</a>.) I then go retrieve the morning's podcasts to my Nano for the trip into work. I get far more information from the podcasts. If it weren't for Clyde and Stout, I'd cancel the paper.

Kind of amazed that to this day only LiveJournal takes threading seriously, none of the other major blog players do.

I wind up listening through much of the workday as I write [code|documents|email]. I tired of TWiT after a few months, but TAL and ASC are always outstanding. (And the All Songs Considered Live Concerts podcast is a motherlode of amazing stuff.) I also strongly second Dylan's recommendation of Coverville. (Hi Dylan!) My other faves? WNYC's On the Media. Harry Shearer's Le Show -- a bit dry sometimes, and the parody sketches / songs can be grating, but hearing Principal Skinner discourse on the day's news never fails to amuse me. PRI / BBC's The World's Technology Podcast -- a refreshingly non-US-centric set of quirky tech stories. The New Yorker's Fiction podcast, which features a current contributor to the magazine choosing, reading and discussing a story from deep in the archives. KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic -- not frequent enough, and sometimes unimpressive, but often a source of great musical discoveries. And Wait Wait Don't Tell Me is almost as de rigeur as TAL. There are others, but I've taken up more than my fair share of comment space already...
