Irving Poetry podcast, (review, site, feed).
The Irvings read their amateurish poetry like characters from (the real) John Irving's A prayer for Owen Meany. John Irving and Chris (Christine) Irving, are like the Rev. Dudley Wiggin and his wife Barb (Barbara) Wiggin, only they left the Episcopalian Church to become pagans. And they are no longer reinventing the Christmas Pageant, but instead engage in bland, free verse, they call poetry. Just as the Rev. Wiggin, Mr. Irving is a former pilot and has a warring influence in his language.

In Our Time, (review, site, feed).
BBC four's program about the history of thought. Show host Melvyn Bragg meets weekly with three outstanding academicians to discuss subjects varying from historic persons and occurrences to scientific and philosophical issues in their historical perspective, giving a deep insight in culture. As far as quality is concerned this podcast ranks among the very best. The only drawback comes from it being a radio program: it is not flexible to the length. It is also a pity the feed offers no more than the last show. But the on line archives disclose every show.
