I have a long day ahead of me of correcting drawings and getting yelled at for the fact that said drawings need correcting in the first place.
Suffice it to say, I need something entertaining to listen too, but I can't be spending much time surfing the internet for it, so if any of you could help me out here I'd appreciate it.

You could always listen to Manufacturing Consent, a documentary featuring Noam Chomsky. That will give you almost 3 hours worth of material.
I don't know if I can handle that much Chomsky.
I never looked around, never second-guessed
Then I read some Howard Zinn now I'm always depressed
And now I can't sleep from years of apathy
All because I read a little Noam Chomsky
How about listening to Flogging Molly? They have their recently released album, Float, streaming on their MySpace page.
Sundown Lounge Episode 129. Funky music. Host with an attitude. A smattering of poetry. ...And the fact that a drizzling of my own music was applied helps out a bit, too.
You can see more of his sets here.
Or tooling around TED. They have some cool "lectures" and most of them don't really need the visual element.
It's the tooling around bit I can't do right now.
Well, this is probably not going to suit your immediate needs, but I was just made aware of a new entertainment from an old friend:
My (Emily Graves) new book, Ballad of the Breathless, a Spout Press release, is an anthology of poems spanning several years of work and includes revisions of poems from four of the collaborations between Jessica Dickinson and myself, twenty never-before-published poems, and drawings from the Artist Queen herself, Jessica Dickinson!
And, best of all, the book is now available on-line! The easiest way to get your hands on a copy is to paste this:

Oh, and I'm a fan of the Scientific American podcast... or Skepticality. The hosts are really annoying, but the interviews are typically great.
