The Second Law of Thermodynamics is a Bitch
If you like SF and you like podcasts, you owe it to yourself to check out the excellent science-fiction podcast, Escape Pod.
Take a listen toExhalation, a Hugo Award nominee by Ted Chiang and a mind-blowing (ha!) story. It’s all kinds of awesome: absolutely fantastic and imaginative but rooted firmly in the laws of physics, surprising yet exquisitely logically consistent.
The episode clocks in around 50 minutes, which is long for Escape Pod, but it is worth the time.

I always find to fun to listen to the old X Minus 1 and Dimension X broadcasts, although I must say in general not so much with the scientific accuracy.
Another good one is Mindwebs. Very trippy, very 70s, much more social-commentary SF in contrast to the rocket ships and whatnot you see in X x x x MINUS minus minus minus ONE one one one. Though there is some crossover in stories, e.g. “The Saucer of Loneliness” and “The Veldt.”
