This was time consuming for me. I had saved some names that I wanted to look up for this lesson, but it looks like they all want money to listen to their podcasts, or I couldn't find them. Julian Darley had a great speech the other day, Post Carbon World, on NPR, but I couldn't find it again. Todd Strasser, who'll be at MLA, has a song that was on Car Talk on NPR, but I couldn't listen to it either from his website or from NPR. I guess I learned I better write down the date, time, and program when I want to hear something again. The names alone don't seem to work.
I finally signed up "6o second science" on my bloglines account.

There's a podcast on the Yellowstone Public radio site of a Home Ground episode that featured Donna Worth and Alice Meister. It's only a 1/2 hour if you're looking for something else to try

Unfortunately, podcast directories are not the place to look if you're looking for individual program content. Keep in mind that a podcast is a subscription to a program. Podcast directories are meant to help you find programs that you might want to subscribe to and listen to on an on-going basis.
If I were looking for content from a program on NPR, I'd go to the npr.org website and do a search there. You might well find a link to that program but it wouldn't be a podcast it would just be a link to an audio file.
If you're looking for a speech, you would probably use a regular search engine but limit the results to audio files. You can do that with Yahoo or Alta Vista and there are probably ways to do it on other search engines as well. I just haven't bothered to figure it out.
Songs are going to be difficult to find free legally because performers don't want to give away their livelihood. But you can often find single songs at online music stores like Amazon's or iTunes for only $.99.
