Creature Cast is a podcast from the similarly-named website, hosted by the Dunn lab at Brown University. They have two episodes so far, both really creative:

I want to be in a lab that makes videos with play-doh!

LabLit podcast

Eva — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:17:55 +0000

I interviewed Jim and Star about Subtle Technologies for the latest LabLit podcast. Give it a listen! (Pardon the cicadas – there was construction going on indoors, so this was the quieter option.)

Mr Science

Eva — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 23:44:18 +0000

By completely random internet-clicking coincidence I recently came upon the Mr Science podcast. Mr Science is 27-year old Marc West, from Sydney, and he describes the podcast as follows: “You don’t have to be boring to be into science – and you don’t need to be wacky and zany either. We look at science in [...]

60 second science

Eva — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 06:37:44 +0000

I have almost no patience for talk radio, but I can manage Scientific American’s 60 second science. It’s only a minute — that’s shorter than a song, so you definitely have time to listen to it. Every episode of this podcast is like those short little light science blurbs in the newspaper, and takes about [...]

Berkeley’s webcast/podcast schedule for the fall 2006 semester is up and full of information! The semester has only just started, so this is the time to catch up. There are webcasts and podcasts available for physics, biology, chemistry, engineering, and many other courses.

Mice on Drugs!

Mouse Party is a web feature from the University of Utah’s Genetic Science Learning Centre. (Previously featured on easternblot with their interactive agarose gel.) In Mouse Party you pick a mouse that’s using a certain drug and receive a quick explanation on how that drug works. It’s very basic and clear and it looks adorable:

One of the archives is “Science and Creativity“, which contains shows about the relation between science and art! I’m listening to episode #726 right now, about the biology [...]

This Week in Science, still my favourite science podcast, has released a compilation CD of science themed music! Some of the tracks (”Lost in Space”, “Robots are Great”, and “First Assumptions Were Correct”) are downloadable from their site, and for $5 you can order a hard copy of the mix CD.

Science Podcasts in iTunes

Eva — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 14:15:40 +0000

When I reviewed a few science podcasts last year, there only were a few available. Meanwhile Science & Medicine podcasts have their own category in iTunes, with four pages of podcasts listed. I didn’t even get a chance to look at the related Technology and Education categories.

I listened to two podcasts of “science/culture” publications: the [...]

Berkeley Podcast

The people in this Metafilter thread love the Berkeley Podcasts. You might, too!

I’ve added “podcasts” as a category, because I keep finding good ones.
