If you can't Ask MetaFilter, try asking
What Would Rob Do? In his
podcast, "NPR's Rob Sachs talks about life's sticky situations and how turn them into an opportunity for adventure, growth, or at the very least, laughter." Like
how to propose, or if that doesn't work, what to do when you
run into your ex (Mp3) (turns out being calm and collected beats out feigning not to have made eye contact), how to
talk to strangers (Mp3),
sing a lullaby (by interviewing Rob Springfield), or how to,
you know, avoid, um, Verbal Ticks. Each podcast episode is an interview with one kind of expert or another. Some posts also go on the
Monkey See blog as well as a
facebook fan page.

Radio Lab! Already listened to everything This American Life offers or maybe looking for something a bit smarter and full of science? Maybe you'll like
Radio Lab. Maybe you'll like the mind-blowing and historically expanding episode on
music. Maybe
older history is your cup of tea -- how about
biblical times and how they sit in shoeboxes in Oxford. A stack of shows available via podcast, MP3 download
(and some .RAM, sorry).

Adam Gopnik on NPR (NB: Requires Real Player) Gopnik wrote about Paris for the
New Yorker for some years. Susan Stamberg interviewed him for
Morning Edition today, and he says many things I agree with about what makes for a good city (just to tie into the discussion we've been having about cities).
