I've been spending a lot of time listening to various podcasts lately. None are music-related: instead, I've been delighted to listen to public lectures, classroom seminars, various symposia and the like.

Recent favourites:

• 12 Byzantine Rulers: The History of the Byzantine Empire
  
• TVO's Big Ideas
  
• British History 101
  
• BusinessWeek - Cover Stories
  
• Mother Jones Radio
  
• NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
  
• Ockham's Razor
  
• Swarthmore College Faculty Lectures
  
• TEDTalks (video)
  
• University of Bath Public Lecture Podcast
  
• University of Virginia
  

Anyone have advice of others I should be listening to?

Thanks for pointing out the Byzantine podcast. I'm totally fascinated by the Byzantine empire. I subscribed to it and am going to check it out :)

Absolutely check out the downloads at BBC radio: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/help/podcasting.shtml
There's always something worth listening to. I also record many of their radio plays using th Hi-Q Recorder, then take them with me on my Dell Jukebox (a strictly non-Apple home here :-)
