Podcast suggestions?

I have a 2 and ½ hour commute (each way)! I love podcasts…if I didn’t have them to listen to my ride would be horrible. As of now I listen to Real Time, This American Life, Wait…Wait, Stuff You Should Know, Stuff You Missed in History Class, Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know, Countdown, Moth, and Rachel Maddow.
But, even after all of these, I still need hours more of audio entertainment! Music is good, but I like to listen to podcasts on my commute more. Any good suggestions? Specifically, I would like an audio (not video) that lasts a half an hour or more. I would be very thankful for any suggestions!

Thank you- I forgot about Car Talk! I had it for a while but then got rid of it (space on IPOD). I will bring it back!

I listen to most of those, too. :D I second @jaytkay‘s suggestion of Selected Shorts. You might also try New Yorker: Fiction, Escape Pod, Pseudopod, PodCastle, the Drabblecast, and/or Well-Told Tales, depending on your tastes. The stories aren’t always things that I love, but they’re very rarely bad, in my opinion.

Onion News or Collegehumor.

How Stuff Works is funny and informative.

Anything on the TWiT network if you’re interested in anything tech related.
