I've gotten into listening to a lot of podcasts on my Zune lately and thought that I'd share a few of the better science podcasts with the rest of you:

The Naked Scientists:  http://www.thenakedscientists.com/   Sadly, not as much nudity as advertised.  It's a pretty good podcast from a bunch of scientists from Cambridge University.  Good at covering science news and Kitchen Science is always fun for O:MF ideas. 

The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe:  http://www.theskepticsguide.org/  Run by the New England Skeptical Society. Interesting topics but not always about science.  Interviews are very well done.  Plus Rebecca Watson is hawt!

Point of Inquiry:  http://www.pointofinquiry.org/  Podcast of The Center of Inquiry.  Typically about atheism/humanism but they have had a few good science shows (especially loved the one with Neil deGrasse Tyson).  They lean heavily toward militant atheism, which can get annoying after awhile.

This Week in Science:  http://www.twis.org/  Haven't actually been able to listen to any episodes yet, but heard an interview with host Kirsten Sanford on The Skeptic's Guide.  I'll let you know my opinion when I get a chance to hear it.

Anyone else here like podcasts and got any good recommendations?
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.
