Science blogs and podcasts recommendations

[steuben]

I'm looking for recommendations for science podcasts (english or french) and blogs (english).

They do have to be audio podcasts. It's really hard and just a little bit discouraged to try and watch videos and drive at the same time. Just about any level of accessibility... though early grade school might be out. But if you know of some i know some people who might be interested.

I've currently got in my active podcast list the following:
- Quirks and Quarks, http://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks
- 60-Second Science, https://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/60-second-science/

Blog list:
- In the Pipeline http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/

Podcats:

- Omega Tau (English and German, fairly technical. Also one of the few cases where multi-hour episodes are worth it.) http://omegataupodcast.net/

- Science Friday https://www.sciencefriday.com/

- Planetary Radio http://www.planetary.org/multimedia/planetary-radio/

- Astronomy Cast http://www.astronomycast.com/

 

Blogs (sort of):

- Astrobites https://astrobites.org/

- The Space Review http://thespacereview.com/

I'm tempted to suggest something like the Galaxy Zoo or Sloan Digital Sky Survey Blogs, or AAS Nova, but those might not be quite what you want?

Radiolab is a good podcast when they actually stick to science.

I can recommend Spacepod if you're looking for an astronomy and planetary science themed 'cast. Earth counts as a planet in this context, so there's bits of geology, glaciology and stuff mixed in with stuff about asteroids and assorted interplanetary missions. The level is pitched at 'interested listener' and doesn't assume much of a scientific background at all, so might be a little light for what you're looking for but I like it.

Also, the Orbital Mechanics are apparently pretty good although I haven't (yet) listened to any of it. In the words of my dear wife upon reading the podcast description 'oh god - you'll want to start this once we're done with Spacepod.'

The BBC has excellent ones.

With comedy too --

Infinite Monkey Cage

The curious cases of Rutherford and Fry

More serious and topical -- 

Inside Science
