Hardcore History

this

BBC - Desert Island Discs -- A celebrity is interviewed and plays their favorite records. A lot more interesting and entertaining than it sounds. On the air since 1942 -- it's the second oldest radio series in the world (after the Grand Ole Opry). 500+ episodes online -- I've listened to about 40-50, including Paul McCartney, Randy Newman, Mel Brooks, and even Field Marshall Montgomery (from 1969).

In Our Time -- BBC History roundtable discussion. Probably the best show of its type.

BBC Podcasts

How Stuff Works

NPR Fresh Air

Old Time Radio Drama -- Sort of like very short audio books

Adam Carolla

WTF w/ Marc Maron

I'm willing to say that "Serial" is just as good as some TV Drama's. I discovered it because one of the host from "The Solid Verbal" tweeted about it. That night I binged-listened to all five episodes.
