Recommend some podcasts to ease the pain of work...

[Plenum]

I used to be the biggest podcast junkie. I'm a bit better with it these days

all I can do is offer a smorgasbord, and let you pick and choose.

for buddhism (which I suspect isn't your thing) there is Audio Dharma and Zencast.

for films, there is Filmjunk

if you have access to youtube, you can just listen to the audio of Scott Mandelker (he does commentary on the Law of One) http://www.youtube.com/user/TWSMandelker

these are DEFINITELY not in your topic range, but I'll reference them just for myself:

gaming: Gamers with Jobs
pc tech: PC Perspective
baseball: ESPN Baseball Today

when I was doing music (which I am just about to get back into incidently) I used to like this site http://contrabassconversations.com/ even though I don't play the double base lol

comedy: WTF with Marc Maron (might or might not be down your alley; he swears a lot, is pretty profane).

and that's about it off the top of my head!
