Podcasts: good-for-your-brain snacks

If I was going to subscribe to a podcast it would probably be something from NPR: Sunday Puzzle with Will Shortz or Nancy Pearl's book reviews. I worry it would become yet another stack of something (though an electronic/virutal one) of Things I Intend to Get To Sometime Soon.

But I listen to the radio a lot and I do listen to a lot of junk on the radio. It's like junk food--it's easy to listen to because it's there. Subscribing to a podcast and downloading a podcast seems like as much work as cutting up celery and carrot sticks. But my brain would probably thank me.
