Here's a hearty second on This American Life. And if you listen to the  
podcast, throw 'em a few bucks, will you?  Their annual b/w costs are  
in excess of $100k.

Speaking of money, if you are trying to make sense of the current  
financial crisis in the US, try the Planet Money show on NPR http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/
It tried to break things down simple enough that you don't need an  
economics degree to figure out what's happening.  The downside is if  
you are like me, the more you listen the more angry you will become.  :(
