Podcasts

Here are some links to podcasts I listen to.

Science

• Science in Action discusses science in an accessible way, but is still interesting to those with a science background.
• Material World is a semi-random collection of short discussions on scientific research and news.

Language

• Ask About Britain is designed to help Mandarin-speaking students of English, but is handy for practicing Mandarin too!

Books and leisure

• The Ferretbrain site puts out occasional book, game, film etc.-related podcasts, which are a bit of fun. See also Websites. Mature content.
• HP Podcraft is not only an excellent name, but a podcast discussing HP Lovecraft's writing in a conversational, accessible way.

Games

• Icosahedrophilia documents a fascinating ongoing D&D campaign with a Lovecraftian tone.
• Penny Arcade / PVP is a D&D podcast from Wizards of the Coast, played by the creators of Penny Arcade and PVP. It's a lot of fun, but mature content, okay?
