Monday's List: podcasts part 2

Some of these feed addresses were were incomplete, but all of these podcasts can be found, for free, on iTunes.  Happy listening!

16.  The New Yorker: Comment Podcast     Rated PG
     This weekly comment podcast is based on someones opinion of current events, not necessarily fact.  It does tend to fall on the liberal side of things.  I find it interesting and informative.  It's my way of learning about national political issues without having to watch the national news.  New Yorker comment
17.  The New Yorker: Fiction Podcast     Rated PG-13
     A monthly reading of past fiction published in the New Yorker magazine.  Fiction published in the New Yorker is among the best stuff being published today, and a treat to read or listen to.  New Yorker Fiction
18.  NPR: Fresh Air Podcast     Rated PG
     Recently someone said to me, "You listen to NPR??  You must be a democrat."  If that is all it takes to be considered of the left persuasion, than I am definitely guilty as charged.  Personally, I just think it's just good reporting.  I will admit that certain programs and features of NPR tend to be more on the liberal side of things, but you decide what you choose to listen to.  Fresh Air is a Peabody award winning, daily magazine featuring interviews covering contemporary arts and issues.  If you haven't picked up on it yet, I enjoy the arts.  Fresh Air
19.  NPR: Pop Culture Podcast     Rated PG
     Popular culture stories gathered from several NPR programs, compiled into one weekly podcast.  Pop Culture
20.  NPR: Radio Diaries Podcast    Rated PG
     Historical documentaries weaving together home recordings, archival news audio, and first person accounts to bring the past to live.  Also includes more current stories from extraordinary people and circumstances.  This is an awesome program!  Radio Diaries
21.  NPR: Story Of The Day Podcast     Rated PG
     Funny, moving, exceptional or just off beat, the one NPR story of the day everyone should hear.  Story of the Day
22.  The Nutrition Diva's Quick and Dirty Tips For Eating Well And Feeling Fabulous     Rated G
     The nutrition Diva (Monica Reinagle) serves up simple, painless ways to upgrade your diet, so that you will feel fabulous.  I have learned a lot from this podcast.  It goes far beyond basic nutrition.  The Nutrition Diva
21.  Onion Radio News      Rated PG-13
     A short news clip from the Onion's fake news network.  Very short, and very funny.  Onion Radio News
22.  Start Cooking Video     Rated G
     Quick and tasty meals plus basic cooking skills, wrapped fast paced, fun format.  Look for it on iTunes
23.  Stuff You Should Know     Rated PG 13 but mostly PG
     Fascinating trivia, obscure facts, and the unusual stuff you should know.  How Stuff Works
24.  They Might Be Giants Podcast     Rated G
     The official podcast of TMBG.  Specializing in original, live, and/or rare material from the band.  Great for TMGB freaks like me. They Might Be Giants 
25.  This American Life     Rated PG
      Just the best radio program out there in my humble opinion.  Hosted by Ira Glass.  This American Life
26.Vegan A Go-Go      Rated G
     A vegan cooking show in video format.  The website has the podcasts as well as the recipes.  I usually modify the recipes to be vegetarian but not always.  Vegan A Go-Go
27.  WNYC's  Radiolab     Rated PG
      Each episode of Radiolab is an investigation centered around one big idea.  It's really a good show- one of my favorites.  Radiolab
