I admit to being a Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me podcast junkie. I will listen to the show 2-3x in a row. And (sadly enough) it is how I know most of my current news.
I branched out in my repertoire during August. Some of the new podcasts I am checking out are:
The Kindlings Muse
Speaking of Faith
Friday Night Comedy
Coffee Break Spanish
Of the many hours of podcasts that I listened to this summer, Being Autistic, Being Human hit closest to home for me. Although this was presented on Speaking of Faith, it was not a conversation about faith at all, but rather about life and family.
During this hour long conversation, the presenter speaks with Paul Collins and Jennifer Elder about their son, Morgan, who has high-functioning Autism. It is a very real talk about joys and challenges for this family as well as the role that Autism has played in society.
I am considering recommending it to other parents and professionals to help them learn more about Autism. If you have listened to this podcast, please let me know what you think.

My hubby and I are huge fans of 'Wait, Wait...'!! I'll have to check out the additional ones you listed. I've also listened to one called 'How Stuff Works' (I think that's the title!) ... it's interesting, but doesn't even come close to 'Wait, Wait...'!
I love Wait Wait, so I will definitely check out the ones you mention!
I listened to that podcast earlier this summer. It was long enough ago that I'm not remembering a lot of specifics, but it drew me into the program. I would certainly recommend it.
