Podcast Suggestions?

On my last trip overseas, I found that having a few podcasts really helped make the hours go by (when I wasn't trying to sleep on the plane). Can anyone recommend some good podcasts appropraite for an East African safari? Travel, nature, etc. I know some of them, but I'd like to hear what the folks on these boards think. Thanks.

You may enjoy the Amateur Traveler (www.amateurtraveler.com) -- I know there are several episodes about Africa travel, plus a lot of other destinations as well. The format is that the show's host will interview someone who has been to a particular destination, and they talk about their trip. I have been interviewed on this podcast three times. It also includes a slide show of pictures from the destination that go along with the dialogue of the interview, which is a nice touch.

Also, Lonely Planet has podcasts available for download at its site which cover a wide variety of destinations, and typically the participants are professional travel writers.

Someone in this forum suggested "In-Flight Swahili" when I said I wanted to hear some simple phrases spoken. It is a 12- lesson book that comes with a disc for about $12 on Amazon. I put the disc on my I-Pod and now I have a "podcast" I can listen to (with or w/o the book) on the plane.

rick steves (either you like him or you don't) has one on meeting the Maasai in East Africa, that I downloaded on iTunes.
googling africa travel podcasts brought this up: http://goafrica.about.com/b/a/257597.htm and there were a lot more.

Kim Wohluter has video podcasts on wildcast.com that are 3 min. or so daily. Very well done.
