I have a 30 minute commute one way to work each day that leaves me with an hour of windshield time. I could use that time to listen to the same songs day after day, gossip, politics, news, or something to learn and make myself better. I started checking out audio books from the library and listening in the car, I also listened to the entire Pimsleur Spanish course, but lately I have gotten into podcasts. Below is a list of the ones I'm subscribed to with a brief description in no particular order.
