Public radio in US is a great source of information and discussion forum for arts, literature, politics and everything else. There is nothing that can start a day well like listening to an interview with Kenneth Branagh on Forum on KQED in San Francisco or Sasha Barron Cohen on NPR's Fresh Air while driving to work. Public radio has a reputation for high quality programs from unbiased and reputed journalists and commentators. So I respect what I see there. You can go to their website http://www.kqed.org or http://www.npr.org and listen to live or previous programs on their archives. Most of the radio programs are available for downloading. So it is a podcast and not like watching youtube. I personally cannot sit through an entire video or even a song on Youtube. I like to listen than to watch. I guess it is hard for me to sit passively. But if it is audio I can download the mp3s to my cell phone and listen to them on head phones while doing other work. Listening to interviews with accomplished personalities or to highly entertaining news quiz program 'Wait Wait Don't Tell Me' with Peter Sagal, is a great motivator to do the dishes or laundry or treadmill.
Also I come to know about movies and books which do not get popularized in the main stream media but still deserve to be recognized. Here is one such list titled
