On the whole I like the idea of podcasts but the TFP lives in the text medium. I would not expect our content to easily translate. Better: I wold not expect our user base, who are more text-based, to translate to verbal.

Agreed. I like podcasts and it might be worth looking into, but I can't think of a good way to translate TFP itself into a podcast format.

I really enjoy NPR as well.  Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me always has me laughing the whole way through, and I also like how they relate it to current events. Did you catch the recent episode with Elmo (and his puppeteer) which poked fun at Bill O'Reilly? It was awesome.
