I was wondering if anyone else listened to podcast during running. I just downloaded mediafly and I am trying to figure it out on my iPhone. It seems really cool and I am going to try and listen to some triathlon stuff while running tonight. The one thing I don't have figured out yet is how if a podcast finishes how to have it automatically go to the next podcast.

Anyone else listen to podcast while running? If so what are your favorite podcast?

I don't listen on runs, but some of my favorite podcasts are:

Skeptic's Guide to the Universe (science news and skeptical review)

Stuff You Should Know (from howstuffworks.com)

Savage Lovecast (sometimes graphic, adult oriented advice... may be offensive to some)

NPR offers almost all their programming as free podcasts at www.npr.org, they just download as mp3s. Some of my favorites are Talk of the Nation (especially Fridays which are 'science friday', Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, Fresh Air, and Car Talk. Each story downloads as a separate mp3. I just DL all I want, make them into a play list in windows media player and sync that to my sansa clip.

Another great option is audio books. Many local libraries offer free audio downloads of them. My local library system (Berks county) has hundreds of audio books you can download and transfer to a mp3 player.

Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.

i love podcasts on my longruns ...kinda like listening to a book on tape during long drives by yourself and I find that music gets annoying after 30 minutes....my favourites:

Radiolab: show blows my mind: Science + great sound engineering + humor
This American Life: Terrific stories that make me lol (and sometimes cry)
On the Media- 1 hour about how media shapes our lives & visa versa
Planet Money: 20-30 min. financial interludes & explanations made by the people who produce this american life--interesting, fun, funny.

Ditto on the NPR podcasts, Talk of the Nation, Diane Riehm, Marketplace, Think (from KERA), Fresh Air, running times, Jog Tunes Indie Podcasts.I love Science Friday. Good stuff

I also bring my MP3 to cubicle world at work and listen in order to block the noise.

I've been enjoying these. Don't know if they count as podcasts.
