My boy, Cody did me a solid the other day and sent up a link to a very cool National Geographic podcast directory. The shows are of walking tours through major world cities.
On the way to work yesterday, I listened to the Minneapolis one (which, as Cody points out, includes a nice discussion of the distinction between quaint Saint Paul and its hipper, Prince-town sister city) and it was really cool. They employ the NPR-like technique of nice surround sound of the goings on in the city while explaning the history behind a lot of the bridges and buildings along the river.
There's a good 20 or so other cities currently out there and I think you may enjoy them, too.
