I'm not a huge fan of RealAudio, but their radio page offers quite a few gems.
Depending on your state of flushness, there are premium subscription channels.

The same January 2003 issue of Scienfic American has an excellent introductory article on IBM's Nanodrive technology which is based on microelectromechanical systems that make, read and erase tiny pits on the order of a few nanometers in size. The article is exceptionally well written (Peter Vettiger and Gerd Binning) and worth the price of the magazine.

Also in SciAm is a note on rethinking the Food Pyramid. Perhaps some fats are really good for us. This is probably required reading if you are a human. SciAm shows the appropriate good taste by publishing the article on their free site.

Most of you probably know about the Earth Science Photo of the Day.
Recently my home state of Montana was featured - a bit of hunted turned up Montana's Earth Science Photo of the Week.
One extremely clever series is Roadside Geology. These are commentary on the geology visible from roads in many states aimed at the curious layperson. The Montana book is excellent and makes for wonderful rides through the state. One of these days I'll get the Pennsylvannia and New York titles. Note that a single book has been written to cover Yellowstone National Park - one of the most interesting geological regions of the planet.
