CollegeCrunch has put together a great list of 15 Podcasts That Will Make You Smarter:

One of the more underrated benefits of the internet era has been access to quality radio style programming at any time of the day or night. Just like DVRs have freed us from having to adhere to rigid television program schedules, podcasting has enabled us to carry excellent radio with us for listening at any time. I struggle with not having enough hours in the day to listen to it all, because there is truly so much quality out there.

Highlights of the list include The Naked Scientist, The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe, Ted Talks & This American Life.

It’s a great reminder that podcasts offer a great alternative to the often mind-numbing programming of corporate radio.
