If you’re always on the hunt for fascinating new podcasts, NPR is one of the best resources out there. The National Public Radio website features podcasts on a variety of different topics, with interviews, experiments, and true stories that will excite your mind and make you think. Here are two of NPR’s best podcasts.
Science Friday
Created for everyone from amateur science enthusiasts to real life scientists, Science Friday is a fun podcast that’s full of educational resources. The podcast itself is a news source for the latest science stories and inventions, and the website contains award-winning digital videos, amazing photography, and interviews with scientists and other interesting people. Science Friday’s website describes the show as “brain fun, for curious people”.
Car Talk
If you’re interested in cars, Car Talk is like listening in on a conversation between your closest buddies. The hosts, Tom and Ray, discuss just about everything there is to know about cars, including types of oil filters, cars that are used to drive in avalanches, garage tours of some crazy car collectors, and reviews of the best cars on the market today. The website also offers useful information about basic (and not-so-basic) car problems, just like your own online mechanic.
