Our PC Pro podcast is worth a listen if you're in to PCs, smartphones, tablets and so on: http://podcast.pcpro.co.uk/

You'll be glad to hear I'm not on it though!

• WNYC's RadioLab
• BBC Outlook
• CBC Ideas

I get through at least one episode of at least one those on my commute to and from Struer each day. . . None of them terribly technical. At least one of them could be classified as geeky. All of them worth my time, at least...

Cheers

It's interesting that the media as a whole produces very little about electronics/hifi etc. We get Click on the BBC which is at best a bit feeble. When you consider how much money is spent on it as a consumer it's strange isn't it.

Not a single mainstream programme on computers, consoles and gaming. Even though the revenues for this media is bigger than Hollywood/Bollywood/MP3 and BluRay sales combined!

Maybe it's considered a very masculine subject. Hence why Top Gear was so negatively looked upon by some lovies in the establishment, and thus it's subsequent massive success. Ie a program about blokes enjoying technology blokes are interested in.

Thanks all for your recommendations and have subscribed to them.

Chris you are right and I am surprised to, the Gadget Show is just not what it should be and I know Jason is a clever guy and although I listen to Click I find it not in-depth enough.

Moxxey I would like to hear your comments on air as I always enjoy reading them in print.

Thanks. Sadly though the journalists don't like us near their magazine(s), so in the background only, I'm afraid. They do take their jobs seriously. Geeky dedication, perhaps?

BBC Radio 4 Friday night comedy is one of my favorites
