Perhaps my favorite podcast over at Quick and Dirty Tips is Legal Lad. The Legal Lad podcast is a weekly feature where the Legal Lad addresses some area of law and explains it in easy terms. It's accessible and interesting and takes about five minutes. He'll address legal issues that you very may well encounter, as well as stuff from the news and listener questions.
The most recent episode is a response to a question I submitted about entrapment. I was curious about a case in Minnesota where a court victim and witness advocate was charged for selling private witness information, but was able to argue entrapment. The ensuing podcast episode is here, along with a transcript:
My only complaint about the series is that the advertising within the podcast is a little heavy handed. But you can easily skip it if you read or wait out the 30 seconds or so in the podcast.

NPR talks about white people
NPR is something white people like. This week on Talk of the Nation, Neal Conan interviews the creator of the What White People Like blog. The blog, less than a couple months old, has become a big hit.
The blog was also the subject of an LA Times commentary.

Great story
One of my favorite episodes of This American Life replayed recently. Called, "The Super," it has three acts involving building superintendents. My favorite is the funny, yet creepy, Act I.

Blog (and podcast) of the moment
Check out Grammar Girl on why it's okay to start a sentence with "hopefully."
This is part of a weekly podcast, but each episode is transcribed to a blog entry. In this issue, one learns that the attacks on "hopefully" are ill-informed.

Podcast of the moment
This is story of interest to parents and others. The public radio program "The Story" did a bit about a male nanny who cared for a toddler during his dad's losing battle with brain cancer. Despite the unfortunate use of the word "manny," it is a touching story.
