The Syndicate

I'm definitely a podcast person, especially with all of the driving I do during the summer (and sporadically throughout the year). Good for distance running, too! These are my favorites:

- Welcome to Night Vale (NPR meets community radio meets horror meets dark humor. Everyone should listen to this, and then sign up for my game when it happens )
- Ask Me Another (a silly trivia gameshow)
- Stuff You Missed in History Class (pretty much exactly what it sounds like - 15-30 minutes of detailed histories of very specific subjects ranging from The Crimean War to the most recent one I listened to, Butter vs. Margarine)
- Snap Judgment (storytelling, mostly nonfiction with a little fiction thrown in, centered around a theme for each episode)
- Freakonomics (the economics of everything. Seriously, everything.)
- The Allusionist (15 minutes of word-nerd heaven in every episode!)

I have others I go back to occasionally, but those are the ones I listen to most consistently and frequently, and I recommend all of them!
