A new podcast over in the UK has recently been launched by Westminster Presbyterian Theological Seminary, the UK branch of GPTS, addressing initially some of their commitments to the Westminster standards & Presbyterian distinctives:

With all the links this is hopefully not going to end up in the spam folder.

I’ve been outed as a tech geek! Love TWIT, just about all of the Radiotopia podcasts (the first Allusionist was great), some sci-fi (Escape Pod and others). BBC4’s Beyond Belief as well as the British Intelligence Squared for an across the pond perspective. America’s Test Kitchen for the foodie in me (check out the Smoked Puffin episode). MotorWeek, The Federalist Radio Hour and then Mortification of Spin from our friends at the Alliance. Beats sports radio in the car. I’m amazed at how many times what I learn in podcasts comes up in discussion.

Speaking of episodes, hearing Alex Trebek talk about doing his own home maintenance on the Nerdist is amazing: http://nerdist.com/nerdist-podcast-alex-trebek/

The Pete Holmes interview with Rob Bell is very enlightening: http://nerdist.com/you-made-it-weird-152-rob-bell/

Here are a few I listen to on a regular basis:

NYT Book review
Trinities Podcast
The Unbelievable Podcast
I’ll Drink to That
And just about any technology podcast

Btw Camden, I also listen to fountain pen podcasts, and my friends berate me for it too (kidding).

In reply to Camden Bucey. Gastropod is the only other podcast I support financially!

In reply to Tim H.. Nice. I've listened to a bunch of Planet Money episodes. I'll have to check out Gastropod.

Jared — I also think church sermon podcasts are a very valuable thing. I’ve spent a lot of time working on the quality of ours (http://www.shilohopc.org/sermons/). I have thought about doing a post somewhere about my workflow for it. I find that the audio from many churches is unnecessarily bad.

Two recent favorites are Gastropod on history and science of food (http://gastropod.com/) and Slate Working (http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/working.html) which has interviews with people about the ins and outs of their work.. NPR’s Planet Money is typically quite good.

I really enjoy Econtalk. I’ve listened to almost every episode. There are very interesting overlaps of Roberts’ Hayekian worldview and Van Til’s though. (“The critique of scientism that I learned when I read F. A.
Hayek and Michael Polanyi seemed to be similar to the defense of Christian
presuppositionalism that I was taught in my religion and philosophy
courses” http://www.gordon.edu/ace/pdf/SymposiumF05F&E46.pdf)

I never miss the Reformed Pubcast (http://reformedpubcast.com/), The Dividing Line (http://www.aomin.org/aoblog/index.php/webcast/), and Apologia Radio (http://www.apologiaradio.com/).

I tried Radiolab but can’t do it because of the way they keep interrupting each other. Can’t do it!

I enjoyed this episode! I also added a few new podcasts to my list.

I listen to EconTalk. Not every topic seems interesting when I see it, but usually by the end I’m glad I listened.

I also listen to Penn’s Sunday School (I like Penn Jillette). Haven’t listened in a while, but he has a perspective I enjoy. Not for everyone, and the standard explicit content warning.

The Phil Hendrie podcast is another favorite. I grew up listening to the Phil Hendrie show, so I’m partial to his comedy. (Also an explicit content warning). He also stated a podcast that interviews comedians on their influences, techniques, and personal lives called “The Science of the Funny”.

Some history podcasts I’ve enjoyed, or have in my quite waiting to jump into are “The History of Rome” by Mike Duncan and “The History of Byzantium” by Robin Pearson.
