Podcastons à fond!

Hey everyone!
My first post here... so much pressure! :$

While trying to get in touch with as many english speakers as I can, I'd like to improve my overall comprehension of English even when I'm not in front of my keyboard! I wanted something fun, dynamic and at the same time interesting or inspiring... I tried to read books but I can't do it when I'm driving or when I take the over-crowded subway/bus (very tough reading when you're stuck under someone else's armpit!!).
That's why I decided to try listening to audio podcasts and it appears/seems that I love it! I started a year ago and try have tried/have been trying out many of them. Some even become regular appointments I'm that I looking forward (to listen) to! 

I'd like to share two of them with you!

#1 Planet Money
MY favorite show and the podcast i'm I have been following for the longest time. I checked this morning: nearly two years!
It's a show from the National Public Radio of the US. Twice a week, it explains with in (everyday/)simple/basic words what is going on with the economy. The subjects are very diverse: from the industrial revolution in Pakistan to the laws of economy in motion in the Mormon society. Special mention to their coverage of the 2008 crisis: they bought a real toxic asset (and give it the sweet name of "Toxie") and followed it's "life" until the end. It was really interesting!

#2 Welcome to night vale
Imagine a small quiet town deep in the middle of the USA. Quiet? It only seems very calm and the people living there seems very nice but each character is weirder than the other one. "Welcome to night vale" is the fictious radio show of this town. In each episode, you have a main story and other anecdotes, false commercials and other surprises! It really annoys me a lot that I don't understand everything! It's a bit hard to follow because the humour of the show relies mostly on non-sensical sentences and you really have to pay attention. Anyway I like this kind of storytelling which always surprises me, as well as the very dry-humour of this show.

I have other shows in my pocket but they're boring, being the newshour of the BBC radio for example, so there's no need to mention them! :)

I hope this first entry was pleasant to read. I'd like to hear from you if you have other audio shows you'd like to share! My podcastaholism needs new stuff to listen to!

Have a great evening/morning/day,
Matt

Excellent English skills! I stuggled to correct this. Some of the corrections I made were to help it sound more natural rather than for gammatical reasons. I don't listen to any podcasts but I have heard of "Welcome to Night Vale" and think I will check it out! Thank for the suggestion :)
