podcast competition

Last week's Guardian Science podcast mentioned a competition. Prize: you get to go to the Guardian offices and sit in on the podcast recording.

They want people to suggest an idea for a "package" for the podcast (I think they mean a feature, i.e. a topic for investigation and debate) and also a short paragraph about what they would add to the show if they sat in on it. You can email (science@guardian.co.uk) or Skype (gu_studio) them to enter.

Plus, if you get the chance do listen to their "special extra" interview with Steve Jones - it'll be useful for next week.

Does anyone listen to science podcasts? Myself, I find the Guardian one a bit laddish and the New Scientist "scipod" very cheesy. Both have interesting content and TERRIBLE jingles. Any other recommendations? I keep meaning to listen to the Naked Scientists who've been around radio for years and seem to have found a great way of increasing their audience with the podcast.
