davis_squareI belong to Planet Fitness in Porter Square. I can't get radio reception on my Ipod Nano in the gym, at least not WBUR. I guess this is because it is one floor down. Is this a universal experience? Just wondering if others with different devices have better luck. Can't beat the Planet Fitness price but having the radio really helps the workout go faster. I'm tired of all my music- I guess I could load podcasts onto my Nano.

New Yorker Fiction (http://www.newyorker.com/online/podcasts/fiction) -- Stories from the New Yorker chosen and read by writers who've had stories published in the New Yorker.
The Moth (http://feeds.themoth.org/themothpodcast) -- You've probably heard some of The Moth on WBUR, so you know the deal: "true stories told live without notes."
Hearing Voices (http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=89697159) -- a great variety of interesting and in-depth NPR stories.
and Selected Shorts (http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=9911210) -- More fiction, but you probably are already familiar with this too.

Stuff You Should Know and Stuff You Missed in History Class from How Stuff Works
NPR does Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me, This American Life, and Car Talk
Also? I just signed up for Audible.com so I could listen to a recommended book. (The Game, by Neil Strauss). They are doing discounted plans for it right now, so I got that book for free.
