I’ll look into that stuff, but All Songs Considered has always been a bit of a letdown.

KQED is intriguing…

Could be an ESPN/ABC thing. Check out Rocketboom, a video Podcast to give you a little taste of life back in NYC/East Coast. Also, The Eocnomist can put out some great International perspectives. And Bill Maher, but he hasn't put out anything in awhile. I listen also to KQED's Forum which lets you download at leats 10 hour long episodes a week about different topics. Some you just don't download, like local news in San Francisco... but others are quite interesting, especially when the host talk to authors. And one more thing (I am addicted to podcasts) NPR: All Songs Considered and their partner podcast, Live Concert Series. Introducse you to a whole new bunch of artists and full live concerts from the 9:30 club in Washington D.C. -Rick Shenzhen, China Yeah PTI and The BS Report have gone downhill for me too.

I'm Canadian so I use this as a way to keep up with what's going on at home and there are number of non-Canadian centric shows that will appeal to non-Canadians examples include: Ideas (Philosophy/history/social ideas) Spark (Technology) Search Engine (Internet culture) The Sunday Edition (current events) All of them are available at www.cbc.ca/podcasting I suggest you go a little north of the border and check out stuff from CBC Radio.

Besides, it irritated me that All Things Considered is a paid podcast while HBO gives stuff out for free. A little counter-intuitive, no?

I'm a American, but I have lived the life of an ex-pat in Shanghai and Tokyo. I want to invite you to view my site at the URL below. I'm trying to get more acquainted with the Asia Blog community, so if you like it let me know and we can exchange links. My blog is pretty new and focused on East Asia and Sub-Sahara Africa, but I hit a variety of topics that interest me. http://pmsol3.wordpress.com/ Best, Dragon Horse Josh:
