Julie Shapiro, artistic director of the Third Coast International Audio Festival, which produces the great Re:sound show, singles out Strangers, from Lea Thau via KCRW. One of Studio360’s producers, Jenny Lawton, adds another pick: The Longest, Shortest Time, writer/producer Hillary Frank’s podcast about early parenthood. Kurt Andersen, Studio 360, seconds much of my original list and adds a cool one that was news to me: Getting On With James Urbaniak, a monthly radio drama featuring the actor whose career stretches from Richard Foreman plays to The Office. “But it ends up being very funny and a bit surreal on occasion.” Thus, even the existing episode archive is worth checking out (but definitely for “adults,” as the show’s site cautions). “He's a wonderful storyteller, and lately he's started inviting others,like Malcolm Gladwell, on stage to do the same.” Second: While it’s not clear how active You Look Nice Today is at the moment, this self-described “audio-based Journal of Emotional Hygiene” is a comedy podcast in which the “conceit is just three dudes bantering about nothing, really,” Abumrad says.

First, Tim Harford: Pop-Up Ideas: “Tim gets up in front of a live audience and tells these little short stories about big ideas in economics,” Abumrad explains. Jad Abumrad, Radiolab, adds two new picks.
