Which I also have no interest in..
I don't want to hear some idiot yak about his political views or listen to some disgusting indie music...
Woah there Mr. Generalizing McSimpleton..
Podcasts are in video and have some really cool discovery channel podcasts. 60 Second Psych Podcasts are interesting, as well as most of the science discussion podcasts.
Oh, and if you missed PTI, you can get the full version on audio!
And If you like 60 minutes on TV, you can get the full audio on there.
And my favorite podcasts are the video podcasts of TEDtalks. If you don't know what they are, they are the most influential, interesting, and mind gaging talks in science I have heard. Also political talks, but there are so many to pick from that you don't have to be stuck on "political jargon".
And...indie music is not so prevalent in podcasts, as they are more news and discussion oriented.
I think it is amazing that these things are free.
