Science Podcasts

If, as a parent, you're looking for an opportunity to pick up some additional science knowledge to share with your kids, here are a couple of podcasts that I'd highly recommend.  They are all intended for a general, non-science, argument, so you don't have to worry about any fancy science talk that might leave you confused.

1.  Star Talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson - Excellent podcasts that are about 45 min in length and produced 3-4 times per month.

2.  Scientific American 60 Second Podcasts - The cool thing about these is that they are only 60 - 90 seconds in length.  Plenty of time for even the busiest of people to listen to.  There are several podcasts subjects such as space, science, health, mind, earth, etc.  I listen to all of them.  They are produced once a week, except for the science subject which is produced daily during the week.

3.  BrainStuff - Produced every few days and about 3-5 min in length.  Covers a random science related topic.

4.  Radiolab - Produced once every week or two and about 45 min in length.  Covers random science related topics.

If you do a search for podcasts you'll find many many more covering science.  These are just a couple of my favorites.
