Podcast Power Ranks

I listen to a ton of Podcasts, something like three hours a day. It's a lot. I have a 45 minute commute each way. I work out for another 1 to 1.5 hours most days. Add in doing chores around the house (cooking, dishes, etc), and the moments before I fall asleep. Why not use every moment of that to suck in more information?

Here is a completely subjective ranking of my top 35 podcasts, based on no explicit criteria at all:

  1. Radiolab (NPR)
