Podcast Love

I am going to try to type this up and not be "poor me" about being laid up from surgery. Life can be much worse than what I have it these days, but as it is not the normal life I lead, I am bored with it and ready for normalcy to reappear.
Anyways what I was saying about podcasts to begin with is I do love listening to them. To me it fills the afternoons with something so much more worthwhile than afternoon soaps that I cannot bare to sit and watch. I know other like them, but not me. Heck, I live a Soap opera, no need to watch one. I have an ongoing love to listen to thing with almost 40 podcasts. Here is a list of what is on my iTunes other than The High Fiber Diet:

Adventures of a funny Hairpin
Betty Crocker Red Spoon Diaries
Cast on
Craft Mentality
Crispy on the outside
Crochetlocket: running with needles

I have updated all of the podcasts I listen to, not many updated this week. Yes, I know you have to schedule into your time the time it takes to sit and talk about life and what have you, but really, if you haven't podcast in a month, please update your show note page to say if you are going to continue or not, so I can take the feed off if you are not. I podcast, I know it is not that hard and does not take oodles of time to make up a three line blog entry to let listeners know if you will be around. Okay, rant over.

Yes, you see I am addicted to podcasts. Really only about 10 update weekly. Some I know are gone, but I keep around listening to occasionally when I need a chuckle.
This week, I have not been able to get my head around knitting much, too much painkiller for anything that take motor skills. So I have lazed around with my book and fallen asleep or been on the laptop or listening to podcasts.
In the past, I have tried other non-craft podcasts such as:
Betty in the sky with a suitcase
This American Life
Fresh Air
Wait Wait don't tell me
And I got bored rather quickly.

I love Sci-fi and history, but have not tried any podcasts in those genera.

So I ask you, are there any other good podcasts that I am not listening to that you think I would enjoy?
