Best Science News Podcasts?

scienceListener asks: "As an avid radio listener with an interest in science and technology communication, I'm really excited about podcasts. I've found many that I like, and many more that are just terrible. One of the areas I find very lacking is science news podcasting. Aside from some very good podcasts that are really repackaged radio shows (NPR's Science Friday and their aggregated Health and Science, Canada's Quirks and Quarks, Australia's The Science Show, and a few others), and a couple produced by science centers (the Current Science & Technology Podcast from Boston's Museum of Science and the Redshift Report from the Ontario Science Centre -- which is good but isn't really about science news), I haven't found any independently-produced science podcasts worth listening to. Is anyone doing science news without the help of a major organization and doing it well?"

DRM

[Anonymous Coward]

iPod usually means DRM audio player. Does "pod"casting imply DRMed content also? If so, should we clarify whether the content is free or paid for and whether or not the encoding is proprietary as with Apple products or open source/free as in Ogg.

Science is 4 Losers

[Lije Baley]

Forget science. Nobody likes science. It is the root of every evil from DRM to global warming, and it undermines our religion. Now why don't you quit dreaming at everyone else's expense and go to a third-world country where you can help them to live and multiply even farther beyond what their resources can support. Or maybe just stay home and perfect your society first, perhaps returning it to a 14th century state of bliss.

Shhhh! I hear the footsteps of Doc Ruby and his thralls approaching -- Let the karma whoreing begin!
