I have a really boring job but I can listen to the radio. I would much rather listen to talk radio, like Adam Carrolla, than music. Anyone know of anything good? Much appreciated.
Edit: I have to log off so I would just like to thank everyone for their input. This will allow me to while away countless hours of otherwise pure tedium at work.

I'm going to get downvoted for this, but diggnation is really an awesome podcast. Alex and Kevin er hilarious when drunk.
I will check that out. Thanks for risking the downvotes.
Diggnation is indeed an awesome podcast.
Don't worry about the downvotes. Even though reddit users love their one-sided rivalry with Digg, they must have something going for them that makes them worthy of our hatred for them.
Diggnation is one of those things. I wish Reddit had a podcast with a couple of dudes like qgyyh or whatever the fuck it is and S2S2S2 or whatever the fuck that is sitting around and bullshitting about all the cool stuff that goes on on Reddit.
I'd love to hear a couple of guys talking about the sweet job Reddit did of photoshopping the dudes mom in the pics section and hope that if I made a funny comment it might get mentioned.
Thanks for supporting me - I'm still new on reddit, coming from digg,, and I feel a strong hatred towards anything related to digg.
One thing I have to say, is that after I discovered reddit, I almost never visit digg anymore. I read the top stories, but the comments are just so, yeah lets say it, retarded. On reddit, I enjoy reading the comments, just as much as I enjoy reading the link/article.
Sorry for rambling, I'm druk - cheers.
Yeah, I'm fucking druk too. The sad thing is that I left Digg after the first round of people started gaming the system. Now, every time I submit something on Reddit, and I really only submit something if I think it's really cool, I get an instant downvote, so there are bots or something ruining this site.
The thing that keeps me here is the comment section as well.

twit.tv has more than just tech and you can find a shitload of talk on shoutcast.
Thank you. Have an upvote.
Actually, if you are an NFL fan, you can catch games here that NFL.com wants to charge you for.
Don't tell anyone.
Stuff You Should Know is great; it's a couple of nerds who are genuinely funny talking about obscure yet interesting things.
And if low-brow is more your speed, Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier always get laughs from me. Smodcast
The Moth, Car Talk, Talk of the Nation, Fresh Air, Big Red Wrap Up (Husker fans only)
NPR: Fresh Air
I learn so much interesting shit about stuff i didn't even know I was interested in.
(Edit: I highly recommend the interview on 11/24 (or 11/23??) about "The Family". If you haven't already read about it here, then you are in for some interesting information about the level of corruption in the US)
Democracy Now!. Political insightful.
Drunk Tank, RoosterTeeth Podcast, they talk about video games, movies, technology, and current events
Open Source Sex with Violet Blue, but you will need earphones. Trust me, this will make the time pass.
I enjoy Dan Carlin's podcasts on NPR
Hardcore History: a History podcast (duh)
Common Sense: Very interesting political podcast. Lots of great information, and very bipartisan. He prides himself on enraging both cons and libs with his middle ground
If you like Free Software topics, Linux Outlaws is awesome.
I really like the pod cast "tank riot", it's three nerdy guys just laughing and talking about fun stuff.
Skeptics Guide to the Universe comes very highly recommended from myself. It's a science podcast that is frequently hilarious.
As I posted in another thread similar to this, the early episodes of http://youlooknicetoday.com/ are very good, before it became obnoxiously dominated by the guy with the nasal voice.
cbc vinyl cafe. it's a short story type podcast by stuart mclean. you'll either love it or hate it.
This American Life podcast from NPR. That shit has gotten me through so many hours of waiting at bus stops...
I listen to this and Radio Lab religiously.
Absolutely. Every episode is available online, and there are tons of lists with people suggesting there favorite episodes. Starting at the beginning is not bad either if you have time.
To start I think episode 61 is a great funny episode and episode 37 is pretty powerful stuff.
