Just recently found a podcast that was recommended by someone on another forum, and I have to say that I'm REALLY impressed.
This is the kind of podcats that I can see appealing to pretty much everyone. It is both artistically interesting audio-experience, and substantial in mind-intriguing stories and concepts and science. AND it manages to instill exitement and fascination to any subject without dumbing it down too much - they've got it down to an artform.
They usually take a topic, like "Memory and forgetting", "Sleep", "Emergence", etc, and ask, and investigate what it's all about, and present it in a... unique and fascinating way.
Here's a direct download link for their episode on: "Memory and forgetting". (If you want to listen to the episode online instead, the click here, and click on the "listen to the whole show" link.)
