As a Gemini with Virgo-rising, I'm obsessed with rituals—especially those involving talking—so I'm delighted to let you in on this little gem: Slate's Gabfest. It's the deliciously insider-y, uber-conversational, podcast coffee-klatch starring the political analysis of Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz. Recorded every Friday, (and free!) it's my Saturday run iPod treat.
Tackling three topics and a bonus Cocktail Chatter round, the three hosts are beyond well-informed without being the slightest bit inaccessible. They keep the info moving at a brisk pace, only pausing for the weirdly grumpy David Plotz to jab semi-good-naturedly at one of them. I'm telling you—listen to just one and you'll be adding the subscription to your iTunes.

2Oh, Arthur! Don't knock it 'till you've tried it! It's like running with three super-smart run buddies. Just don't try to talk back, people will think you're nuts.
3like i can keep from talking back...
