Recommended by an Apostle, the SYSK podcast is put on by HowStuffWorks.com. The weekly format has two guys choose a topic (on anything), research it, and give you the scoop of the ins-and-outs, general thoughts and misconceptions about whatever it is. The two guys bring you a layman’s perspective, and seem to be intellectually honest about what they’re telling you, without much of an agenda. It feels like two of your buddies going back and forth.

Highly recommended by one of the Apostles, This American Life is an hour-long, weekly podcast that tells a collection of thematically-related human interest stories. It’s usually in 2 or 3 in-depth segments that include interviews from people who are living their unique version of the American Dream.

I wouldn't normally make a blog post when a has-been musician dies, but Michael Jackson is a special case. The guy ignited my love for music. Not only did I (re)discover music with Thriller, but the Jackson Five has some of my favorite songs of all time. "I Want You Back" is one of the all time jams. He got into some trouble along the way with some underage weenie-touching, but hey -- it's nothing a few of my priest friends haven't done.

I ran across this song on YouTube. It's really cute.

I've just recently started listening to this audio podcast, and I'm digging it, but it's most certainly not for everyone. This is a hardcore movie/TV podcast for serious movie geeks. It's a panel format, with about 4 guys that talk at a super in-depth level about new releases and film, in general. The format is pretty standard: what have you been watching, news, new trailers, and reviews.
