My favorite podcasts are The Moth and Hidden Brain. Anyone else fans of these?

Alas, I am terrible at anagrams, but I am an avid podcast listener. Some podcasts that I love are:

* Flash Forward - first they act out a possible future scenario, such as "What if all the bees were gone?" and then the podcaster takes a deep look at the science behind it.

* Gastropod - geeky food science and history, much fun!

* Stuff Mom Never Told You - various feminist topics

* Savor - more geeky food science and history

* Stuff You Should Know - these two nice guys pick a topic from an incredibly wide variety of areas, research it, and then talk about it

* Imaginary Worlds - neat discussions of science fiction

* 99% Invisible - incredibly wide variety of topics, all told interestingly

* On The Media - a Public Radio show that I adore

* Reply All - geeky topics by people who take things too far

* Planet Money and The Indicator - two more Public Radio shows I really like

* The Daily - the New York Times picks a topic and does a brief but deep look into it

I'm not a big podcast listener, but I got hooked on Tai Asks Why when I was listening to CBC Radio while in my car on my way to regular weekly appointments. Tai is an 11-year old who asks cool questions (What is love? How does deja vu work?) and gets answers from scientific experts in the field and also from his friends. My grandchildren aged 8 and 10 also love it, so it appeals to all ages and is great for families to listen to together.

I happened to catch 99% Invisible and I too follow it now.

A fun podcast is "Welcome to Night Vale". It takes the form of a small-town radio news broadcast, but everything in town is a little bit spooky and otherworldly.

Kristen, that sounds like something my kids would like. We'll have to give it a listen.
