Alright, since my last thread went over like a fart in church, lets try this one:

What podcasts do you listen to on a regular basis?

Some of my favs are:

Nerdist
Girl on Guy (with Aisha Tyler from Archer)
We're Still Alive (zombie radio drama)
Monday Morning Podcast (with Bill Burr)
Comedy Film Nerds
Doug Loves Movies
Mohr Stories (with Jay Mohr)
Sex Nerd Sandra (brand new sex talk blog and podcast)
PC Gamer US

 

Above & Beyond
Dilbert
Real Time with Bill Maher
The Onion

 

CBC Radio 3 Podcast

I don't have time to listen to much else.

 

I listen to alot of Podcasts.
Favorites are:
Analog Hole Gaming
The Brian Howard Podcast
Cagcast
Hollywood Babble-On
Jay and Silent Bob Get Jobs
Jay and Silent Bob Get Old
Hypothetical Help
Plus One Per Diem
Smodcast
The Incredible Podcast
The D6 Generation(tabletop wargame and boardgame podcast)

 

Security Now (haven't followed them after I started to drive to work )

 

The FuMP (funny music project; two new songs a week)
Coverville (cover versions of songs, very long running show)
Escape Pod (science fiction short stories)
Pseudopod (horror fiction short stories)
Judge John Hodgman (the "I'm a PC guy" combined with Judge Judyish court cases. Bizarre.)

And some others, but those are my main ones

 

How is the Pseudopod? Pretty professional? I've been listening to We're Alive: The zombie podcast, and have been enjoying the radio play vibe. When I was a kid, I would listen to the Empire Strikes Back radio play and loved it, so I think some of my enjoyment is nostalgia.

 

WoW Insider

 

WoW Insider (Fuck you Mat McCurley you stupid asshole. Please stop ruining that website and this podcast.)
The Instance
Any Smodcast Podcast, but particularly Smodcast and Hollywood Babble On
Tolkien Professor
Filmsack
The Movielicious

 

NPR's Sound Opinion
WYNC Radiolab

I am trying to find a decent tech podcast that doesn't include Leo Leporte. Any recommendations?

 

Podcasts, I just realized, are now my primary form of media consumption. Here's a list of favourites I made a while ago... some are kind of defunct but worth listening to the back issues/episodes (I had to delete the links I provided because I'm not allowed to post them yet!):

Nerdery
Penny Arcade podcast - the penny arcade guys while they write the comic - hardly ever updates:

ExtraLifeRadio - three dudes talking about nerd stuff - I really like it! They also do "The Instance" a WOW podcast - yucch!

A Life Well Wasted - Robert Ashley's radio program style show, kind of about gaming - really well done:

Comedy
You Look Nice Today - a few guys riffin' - I've really laughed at this sometimes, other times a bit bland, but try it!

Economics
NPR Planet Money - don't let the topic intimidate you - economics for the layperson - I wish I had discovered this earlier in my life... I'd have felt more prepared for dealing with my money and "getting" the economy (secret answer: it is all kind of crazy and senseless):

Science
Radiolab - This will blow your mind - this is the radio show that most aspire to be like (2nd most) - be sure to listen to the full length episodes:

Finally...
This American Life - the king of all radio/podcasts - a must hear:

 

They win podcasting awards, so I guess it is pretty professional. Also, they recently changed to "pro paying" level, which means they pay authors at a higher scale. (There's also PodCastle, for fantasy, but I don't listen to that one.)

 

I haven't been listening to as many podcasts lately, as audiobooks have been my primary consumption. That said, I'm still listening to these:

- Filmspotting
-This American Life

 

This American Life
RadioLab
The Moth
Planet Money

And I often find myself listening to Stuff You Should Know - they talk about a different issue in every (half hour or so) episode, which makes it good for listening on a commute.

 

Free Domain Radio is a favorite. I disagree with Stefan quite regularly, but I appreciate his razor wit and commitment to seeking the truth through philosophical dialogue.

 

Hardcore History w/ Dan Carlin
The Kurtenblog (during the NHL /Canucks season)

 

Oh, and Wiretap.

 

Wait Wait Don't tell me... especially after getting a chance to sit in on several tapings. The amount of material that is cut out for the condensed podcast is amazing!

 

I had no idea. It seems so seamless when they broadcast. How long does a live show go?
