This has nothing to do with cycling, but you can sign up for a podcast of This American Life (produced by Chicago Public Radio and Public Radio International - quirky stories based on a pretty broad theme that changes each week.) at www.thislife.org . It is a really interesting show, generally quite funny.

+1 on This American Life. Also, if you like British Humor, Stephen Fry has a good podcast. Lots of the NPR shows have them. I also like audiobooks, but that's an entire other category.

Deb, where's your favorite place to get audiobooks?

My personal fave for a good laugh is the BBC Friday Night Comedy show.

I agree. This is laugh out loud funny - so much so that I am cautious about listening to it in public. The report on the Copenhagen conference in the style of Dr Suess in the episode of the 18th was particularly funny

I've really liked audible.com. I think about canceling my subscription to save money but then I see another book I want to listen to... I love them when I am driving long distances or knitting. Originally Posted by salsabike

I also like audible. I've quit and restarted it when I was ready several times. When you start, you can usually get $100 off the price of an ipod through Amazon. Not sure if the promotion is running right now, but if not now, it will be sometime.
A really good place for audiobooks is also your local library. I listen to audiobooks and podcasts while cleaning house and working at school.Claudia

Mine is CarTalk - Click & Clack as well as Wait, Wait, Don't Tell both from NPR
Since I drive long distances, I simply plug in the iPod and can listen for hours through the car stereo

I get CarTalk, et al, on xm radio (I love XM). I don't listen to podcasts in the car. They are for knitting or cleaning. Originally Posted by Mr. Silver
