Want to check out the coolest news from outer space? Pick a topic from the pods available over at [NASA](https://www.nasa.gov/podcasts/?ref=podcastvideos.com). What exactly goes on at the Central Intelligence Agency? (No spoilers, obviously.) There's The Langley Files (*EDIT: As of April 2025, this appears to have been pulled down from public viewing on the CIA website, so we removed the link.*) Ever wondered what, exactly, is included in the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard? There's an episode of[ USDA-Now You Know](https://www.usda.gov/oce/podcasts?ref=podcastvideos.com) devoted to that very subject. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/2f/3b2f9836-49f4-4a7c-9051-a31318bcf9e4/content/images/2024/05/pea-pod.jpg) Pea pod The Internal Revenue Service, attempting to prove that it does indeed possess a sense of humor, labels their series on tax issues [Stay Exempt](https://www.stayexempt.irs.gov/home/resource-library/issue-podcasts?ref=podcastvideos.com). Ever strait-laced, the G-men of the Federal Bureau of Investigation stick to a simple [Inside the FBI](https://www.fbi.gov/feeds/inside-the-fbi-itunes?ref=podcastvideos.com) label. Not to be outdone, the [Department of Justice](https://www.justice.gov/news/podcasts?ref=podcastvideos.com) section simply reads 'podcasts'. (They're not alone; [Voices From DARPA](https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/podcast?ref=podcastvideos.com) is all the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency could muster, while the [Department of Housing and Urban Development](https://www.hud.gov/podcasts?ref=podcastvideos.com), the [Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/contact-fda/subscribe-podcasts-and-news-feeds?ref=podcastvideos.com) and the [Centers for Disease Control](https://tools.cdc.gov/medialibrary/index.aspx?ref=podcastvideos.com#/landing/mediatype/Podcast/language/english/page/1/sort/desc/group/0) all skipped the naming process.) [The Air Up There](https://www.faa.gov/podcasts?ref=podcastvideos.com) ties in nicely to the Federal Aviation Administration, while the Federal Communications Commission's podcast directory points out that they're [More than Seven Dirty Words](https://www.fcc.gov/news-events/podcast?ref=podcastvideos.com). [Direct Current](https://www.energy.gov/podcasts/direct-current-energygov-podcast?ref=podcastvideos.com) is clever for the Department of Energy. Several branches of the Federal Reserve host podcasts, among them [Bank Notes](https://www.newyorkfed.org/podcast?ref=podcastvideos.com) from the New York Fed and [Economic Lowdown](https://www.stlouisfed.org/education/economic-lowdown-podcast-series/episode-20-monetary-policy?ref=podcastvideos.com) from the St. Louis branch. The [National Parks Service](https://www.nps.gov/media/multimedia-search.htm?ref=podcastvideos.com#fq%5B%5D=Type%3A%22Podcast%22&sort=Date%5FLast%5FModified%20desc&) lists 49 different podcasts on all things parks. The [Library of Congress](https://www.loc.gov/podcasts/?ref=podcastvideos.com), somewhat surprisingly, lists only a dozen shows. The Navy alone lists 15 different podcasts in [their directory](https://www.navy.mil/Resources/Podcasts/?ref=podcastvideos.com), while the Army leans into [Soldier For Life](https://soldierforlife.army.mil/Podcasts?ref=podcastvideos.com). The Air Force even put out one from the [Air Force Academy](https://www.usafa.edu/podcasts/?ref=podcastvideos.com), while the [Marines](https://www.smmc.marines.mil/Speeches-Interviews-Podcasts/?ref=podcastvideos.com) publish their podcasts alongside speeches and interviews. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3b/2f/3b2f9836-49f4-4a7c-9051-a31318bcf9e4/content/images/2024/05/rocket-pod.jpg) Rocket pod Even some of the more obscure branches of the federal government are in on the podcasting game. The vaguely-named General Services Administration pokes a bit of fun at itself with the [GSA Does That](https://www.gsa.gov/about-us/newsroom/listen-to-the-gsa-does-that-podcast?ref=podcastvideos.com) series. The Government Accountability Office covers a variety of topics but hasn't established a fun name for [their podcast series](https://www.gao.gov/podcast?ref=podcastvideos.com). The podcast for the National Coordinator for Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience is cut down to a more managable [Daily Scoop](https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/resources/daily-scoop-podcast?ref=podcastvideos.com) title. Plenty of podcasts also originate from state or local governments, or international bodies and non-government organizations. Want to know what the [United Nations](https://news.un.org/en/un-podcasts?ref=podcastvideos.com), [NATO](https://www.act.nato.int/newsroom/multimedia/podcasts/?ref=podcastvideos.com) or the [World Health Organization](https://www.who.int/podcasts?ref=podcastvideos.com) are up to? Just pick a podcast: they've all got them.
