I have to agree with a lot on here. Downton Abbey, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and This American Life are all things I enjoy too. I also like the UK's "Peep Show" series and I recently went back and watched the original UK "The Office" which is amazing. The Walking Dead is a good show and so is Ripper Street.
I listen to podcasts almost every night to fall asleep, listen to BBC radio, low volume, and I'm asleep in no time. Zzzzz....
