On this site you can find podcasts I listened to and find worthy of sharing with you. You will find that I mostly listen to This American Life, Stuff You Should Know, Strangers, Freakonomics and Radiolab. I will add more podcasts as I listen to them, so this register will be updated (and thereby grow) regularly.
