If you like humorous hypothetical questions dosed with just a tinge of plausibility, you'll love Vaguely Scientific.
Fun, funny, clean, and occasionally thought provoking; they accept feedback and user submitted questions as well, giving it a good community feel and keeping them in touch with listeners.
This podcast gives you the best of both worlds - fun and science together! I really like that the hosts (and their rotating third/fourth) take questions that really have no basis in reality, let alone science, and try to answer them as though they were questions posited in good faith. The hosts are engaging, their banter is easy to follow, and their run time (usually at half an hour) makes for a quick, fun jaunt that adds fun to any day I listen. Definitely recommended!
