Are We Alone? with Seth Shostak. That's a SETI podcast, but it covers a lot of different science topics.
So it's not just a bunch of podcasts that say, "Nope. No aliens yet."
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I want a new place if only it'll get me the hell out of Jacksonville and somewhere a) I really want to be and b) potentially living near friends.
San Francisco!
And now I have a Lucero song stuck in my head:
I’m afraid that I might drown if I don’t move
From these waters that run so deep
From these Southern ways and lazy heat
Now I’m stuck, ain't got much to show
[...]
Well, San Francisco sure sounds nice
And Brooklyn might suit me just fine
'Cause life down here just moves so slow it seems
Like a river barge pushin' upstream

No, it's good, they cover lots of stuff. If you don't like bad puns you'll want to avoid it though. Phil Plait is a recurring guest on the Sunday shows.

I thought of that one too, but was on the fence because of the not exclusively science thing.
Seth Shostak was on Colbert Report yesterday--very funny guy!
Today, here in Leeds, we've had five types of weather in three hours. It currently thinks it's spring. It'll change its mind in a minute.
Welcome to Florida.
And Chicago.
And Chicago.
And Melbourne.
I miss rain. I don't miss humidity and high temperatures. Damn the popularity of the Pacific Northwest, that I can't afford to move up there.
Larry King has discovered he has a son he didn't know about. His son's name? Larry King Jr.
Larry King Jr.: Larry King Goes Public With 47-Year-Old Secret Son
"I knew there was a Larry King Jr. out there, I'd heard that, but I didn't know he was mine. The marriage was very short and she told me if it's a boy, I'm gonna name him Larry King Jr.," King, 75, told The Post yesterday. "Then I never heard again."
Larry Jr. was born in November 1961.
Awesome headline: Smokey Bear Could Be Replaced By Smokey Blade-Wielding Robot
Okay, wow. Here's an idea for you--a giant, saw blade-wielding robot that can be unleashed to fight forest fires. See, it can be deployed to rapidly clear cut a section of forest to contain a blaze with those massive buzz saws, sparing pristine acres and saving lives. Just goes to show what a generation of designers reared on a steady diet of Transformers, Voltron, and I guess, Captain Planet can do when they put their mind to it.
