Money / Economics - Keeps me up to date on how the money things are going.  Planet Money's stories are often very interesting and give an insight as to what is going on in the world.  When I was feeling very out of sorts because of all the financial nonsense that was going on, Planet Money really broke down a lot of the things that were going on.

Tech - Clearly...I'm interested in technology.

Culture - While I don't much care about the lives of the people in culture, this gives me a nice overview of everything.
