If any of you are doing something mindless (coding, transcribing, etc.) and can listen to audio files (work at home, have your own office, etc.), I highly suggest the following sites:
BBC WORLD SERVICE programs archives. Lots of 20-40 minute specials about a wide array of topics.
NPR. No elaboration needed, but I like their search feature for audio archives, you can find obscure interviews with interesting people.
And PRI, which has a ghetto site, but the shows are sometimes interesting.
