    i currently subscribe to a number of podcasts and find them interesting. Thought I'd share my list and ask for any other recommendations. I live in Toronto, so podcasts are the best way I've found to keep up to date on news and affairs back home. They download to my phone overnight and I can just listen to them on the go.

    My current list is:
    • RTE Liveline (mostly so I can follow the liveline megathread on boards.ie. Some very funny commentary to the features)
    • Today with Pat Kenny (although Pat is pretty cringeful and alan partridge like, he does have interesting pieces)
    • Newstalk - The Sunday Show
    • The Right Hook - Technology & Travel segments only
    • Newstalk FutureProof - basically the same guy who does the tech slot on the Right Hook
    • Newstalk The Movie Show - although I seldom listen to it

    Like I said, any recommendations would be great to add to the list.

    Cant believe you dont have The Marian Finucane Show on that list.. Saturday and Sunday mornings, though Sunday is the more interesting show as she has a live panel reviewing the Sunday papers..

    It might be worth looking through itunes podcast charts. It gives Ireland's top ten in 15 different categories.
