Sources of Intelligent Audio for Commute?

confusus writes "Trapped in the daily routine of commuting for 1-2 hours every day, I started to ponder different ways of recycling commute-time waste. I tried listening to the radio, but 9.9/10, it ends up being just 'duh-whatever.' Then, I tried listening to audio books: it is really hard to find audio books that are tailored toward nerds. Thus I decided to find audio of interesting/geeky/nerdy/sciency interviews, talks, lectures. What would be the websites which provide such content?" I'd really like to find more informative downloadable audio content, too. Perhaps informed commentary and self-guided tours of historical and other sites, like national parks and significant buildings in the U.S. and elsewhere, basically self-guided audio walking (or driving) tours. Can anyone recommend a source?

Gas prices just hit an all-time high

Maybe you should consider:
1) Using mass transit, if available.
2) Moving closer to work
3) Buying an electric car and driving in the carpool lane, if that's an option

Easy. Corporate American media didn't pass along information to the morons, Puritans and greedheads that voted for him.

To my dear moderators

Fuck you very much. Redundant? Who else said that? Overrated? "Your posts sucks just because and I'm too chickenshit to use anything else because I'll get moderated down."

I don't usually comment on moderation because it's really not important at all, but goddamn! That's the stupidest moderation I've seen in a while and I metamoderate frequently.

Hey, mod this down too. Like I care. Karma to burn. Hint: the only decent mod is "Off-topic". Everything else is wrong or stupid.
