So i have a bit of a conundrum. I work a lot of VERY early morning shifts at the store where i am employed, and i often like to take my MP3 player with me to work and listen to it for the hours that i am there before the store opens. It really makes getting my work done a lot more enjoyable, AND i am not subjected to listening to the crappy music that they play over the speakers 24/7. All summer long, i have been downloading podcasts put out by one of my favorite directors and comedians, kevin smith. When i found out he was putting out these free to download, one hour talk shows every week, i had about 90 of them in the archives to go through, but i have since exhausted the supply, and now have to wait on a weekly basis for the new one to be released, but this has put a hamper on soemthing to listen to on my MP3 player at work. I know, i know, i could fill it up with music, but i get bored with that after a while. I like the brain stimulation i get from listening to people talk about all different subjects, and as a plus, his broadcasts were extremely funny. So my question is this, does anyone out there know of any reputable sites from which to download other podcasts or audio files of comedy shows, or funny, amusing shows that i could listen to while i am at work? I would rather not have to download a program in order to download files. Thanks in advance!

I'm a huge podcast fan and I listen to all kinds of podcasts whenever I have time! My favourite is Stuff You Should Know, which is hosted by two of the funniest people in the world, Josh and Chuk. They talk about almost anything, and each episode is an individual topic. You should really check it out! There are some really neat things that you can learn about. Also, I'm a Harry Potter fan, so I listen to Pottercast, which is a podcast that talks about Harry Potter news, theories and discussions.

I promised i would get back to you, and here i am! I listed to a bunch of them this morning while i was working away, and i really, rally enjoyed them!! Thanks so much for the info! I liked how they were over a variety of topics, and very informative. I am the kind of person who likes to keep my brain filled with "useless" trivia so these are perfect for me! Stuff your mom never told you....i will have to look into that one next! thanks so much!
