Radio Lab

Sounds a bit like a cross between Stereolab and Radiohead, but it's actually an hour long NPR program. I just finished listening to season 3 while pulling weeds and now I'm on to seasons 1 and 2. They are incredible. I guess it can be compared to This American Life because they take a theme and do stories based on that theme (so yeah, it's a LOT like TAL), but it focuses on scientific answers/questions about very interesting topics like morality, memory, etc... I have to say each episode makes me want to write. Check it out -- Radio Lab
