Rec Request.

[pinksonia]

Now that we are working on phase III's I get to listen to my iPod all day at work.  I could do so on phase I's, but I find it rather important that I be able to hear my crew, and from the number of times they've been un-able to hear me because of their music, I think it's a rather bad idea.  Anyway, I really like listening to the spoken word while I work, but I find myself rapidly going through the back-log of podcasts and audiobooks that I have.  So, give me your recs.  Anybody have a favorite podcast?  A great audiobook?  An audio drama they think everyone should listen to?  I'd be willing to give them a try. 

Right now I'm listening to Alice I Have Been and greatly enjoying it.  It's historical fiction based on the life of Alice Liddell  the "real" Alice in Wonderland.  It's moody and dark and there are Victorians.  I love me some Victorians.  I've always felt a certain kinship with the Alice stories, possibly because I've had the following conversation many times in my life.

Me: Hi, I'm Allison
Then: Like like the book? Allison Wonderland.
Me: No. That's Alice in Wonderland.  A girl called Alice in a place called Wonderland not a girl who's first name is Alice and last name is Wonderland. 
Them: Oh
Me: But I was named for someone called Alice. 

Or, you know, I may have just liked the headband.  Also the pinafore (see above re: Victorians).

I listened to A Little Bit Wicked back in January, and absolutely loved it. I'll definitely be checking out your other recs if they're even somewhat similar.
