Feb 7th, 2011

To retain your sanity you have to constantly axercise your brain; and the best way to do so is casual learning.  I listen to amazing educational podcasts to flex some brain cells while I do menial tasks, or when I'm in transit.  At first I thought that it was just me being an information junkie, but over a bit of time I've realized that my learning ability has immensely improved.  I would like to share some of these podcasts with you, and hope that they will have the same effect on you as they did on me.

Stuff you should know Podcast: (Very well done, and quite accessible)

Stuff you missed in history class Podcast:  (this is another podcast that is a part of the "How stuff works" family, and even though it has frequent host changes, its still one of my favorites)

In Our time Podcast: (this is a little high brow podcast from the BBC, but trust me on this one as the topics are just amazing; and the panel of discussants is creme de la creme)

This is enough for now.  Next time I will focus on music podcasts, and pleasure do find some sweet ass podcasts and let me know about them.
