Happy Friday The 13th, All!

First point of order: I'm doing a lot of gardening right now, and besides rocking tunes, it's really helpful to have some entertaining talk-radio for a change of pace. I'm usually quite pleased with This American Life and I just discovered The Moth's Podcast (live stories told without notes) and NPR's pop culture hour, which I'm really enjoying. What other audio entertainment would you suggest? I tend to like things that are either narrative or talking about narrative, although I wouldn't be opposed to a good news segment that I could put on my iPod easily.

*sigh*

I'm also about to bake a blackberry cake for a friend's birthday and want to chat with people, so... talk to me, flist?

(I know, my Friday nights are so wild, right?)
