My favorite Podcasts

Since I bought an ipod I have subscribed to numerous podcasts, and many have become an integral part of my daily routine. I have learned a lot from podcasts and has greatly improved the utilization of my spare time.

1. Enterpreneur Thought Leaders Series

I found this from iTunes U, and its a podcast published by Stanford University and contains talks from renowned business leaders. Every talk contains extremely valuable information about the technology industry and for aspiring entrepreneurs.

2. GeekBrief.TV

This is a podcast which always keeps me up-to-date with the latest gadetry and technology

3. Crave PodCast

This is similar to GeekBrief.TV, however it sometimes also contain provocative discussions on the latest technologies, which not only keeps you up-to-date with your latest technology but also with issues which are not discussed in other podcasts

4. IT idiots Podcast

This podcast is less about keeping you informed about the latest technology, rather is a podcast about reviewing technologies for businesses or home users. For example in GeekBrief.TV you may actually hear about a new small Mac (Mac mini) from Apple, in Crave you might here about its advantages and disadvantages in IT idiots you actually see it in action!

5. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Podcast

I've been interested in astronomy since school. In A levels I was the only one from my city (Islamabad), to appear on the A levels Astrophysics supplementary exam. NASA's JPL Podcasts keeps you updated with the latest discoveries in Space. JPL manages more than 8 crafts in the solar system and the podcast is very informative.

6., UC Berkeley's Science and Technology Events

This podcasts published talks on science and technoloy issues. A large breath of topics are covered in the talks (which last around 1 hour), from 3G CDMA to Global Competitivenes.

7. Science Talk

This is the official podcast of the Scientific American. It's like a GeekBrief.TV for Science and technology.

8. Unwired

This is another podcast which deals with the latest technologies and gadgets.
