Which podcasts do you listen to?
Let’s use this post to collect our favorite ones –
Diet Strategy
If you find podcasts that you love – save the new episodes to listen to while you are exercising… it can provide great incentive to get moving!
Here are my current favorites:
American Public Media: Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippet, A very opened-minded exploration of religion, spirituality and ethics.
American Public Media: Garrison Keillor, The Writer’s Almanac – My favorite thing about this podcast is that after you’ve listened to him highlight the life of a famous author everyday for a while, you realize there is not one model for success. Some didn’t start writing until they were 60, some when they were practically babies, some got up every morning with discipline, some wrote whenever the mood struck them, and on and on. I also love Garrison’s voice as I go to sleep. Just love him.
Ted Talks I wish they relied less on video - But this is so inspiring and informational. TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. All talks are 18 minutes or less… basically tell us an idea that could change the world – in 18 minutes or less.
David Allen Company – David Allen is the organizational guru and author of Getting Things Done, a book that has changed (and is changing) my life. There are so many parallels between the GTD way of doing things and Reasonable Dieting. I’m planning on a teleconference talk on it later in the year. Get the book if you don’t already have it.
You can order the book here: Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
The Moth Podcast - True stories told in front of a live audience without notes. Highly entertaining.
The New Yorker Fiction Podcast – a short story writer picks another writer’s story from the archive and reads it and the editor and writer have a conversation about it. Like this very much.
and on a similar note:
PRI: Selected Shorts It’s story time for adults with PRI’s award-winning series of short fiction read by the stars of stage and screen. Recorded live at Peter Norton Symphony Space in NYC and on tour.
Susan Gregg’s Food for the Soul –Note this in not about food. She totally believes that everything on this earth is manifest by our own thoughts. She is a student of Don Miguel Ruiz, whom I treasure. He wrote The Four Agreements. You can check out that book at Amazon. I’m giving a talk on it as a part of this fall’s telecourse too. She can occasionally get on my nerves with her single minded way of seeing things that at times is less than loving. But I still get something out of it.
Tara Brach - A leading western teacher of Buddhist meditation, emotional healing and spiritual awakening. You have to love her. She is so smart, funny, spiritual, inspiring. Nothing but love here.
Theater of the Mind with Kelly Howell. This podcast might blow your mind. Kelly explores all kind of edgy spiritual/scientific topics from extraterrestrials to the Mayan calendar to brain syncing. I really like her.
This American Life. Although recently they had an episode on “Summer Camp” which was boring, that is not usually the case. Usually they can make any subject interesting. If you want to understand the banking/financial crisis, go back and listen to those episodes.
and
Reasonable Diet’s Six Minutes of Sanity (of course)
