I cannot bear listening to audiobooks (it's oftenly annoys me) and reading really takes a lot of time and cannot be combined with anything. But when I discovered podcasts, my world had changed!
I usually listen to Full Disclosure with James O'Brien but Ive already looked at a couple podcasts from your list. Cheers!
