What's everyone's Podcast list look like? I'm asking here rather than in General as I mostly listen to the video game ones. So I've got the expected EGM, PC Gamer, 1up stuff (*sod* over CGW/GFW), and am just now trying Game Theory. Always looking for others though.

Don't have any gamer specific podcasts I listen to, but here's my list:

From the Leo Laporte realm:
  This Week in Tech (TWiT)
  MacBreak Weekly
  This Week in Law (law as it relates to tech)
  This Week in Media (.mp3, Photoshop, Adobe, video, etc.…)
  FLOSS Weekly (Randal Schwarz is a turd, but good show devoted to F/OSS, past interviews with Ward Cunningham (wiki inventor), SQLite creator, etc.…
  net@nite (Amber McArthur and Leo do web 2.0)
 
Internet stuff:
  AudioBerkman (Harvard internet egghead talks on where the internet is going)
 
Science:
  Brain Science Podcast w/Dr. Ginger Campbell
  WNYC Radio Lab (very eclectic and entertaining show)

News/Politics:
  Democracy Now
  Thom Hartmann 
  Bill Moyers Journal (simulcast of PBS TV program, but still good listen)
  CounterSpin (folks at FAIR)
  KunstlerCast (the rantings of James Howard Kunstler)
  MSNBC Keith Olbermann (not the whole program, but typically a 10 minute cut from the show)
  Media Matters w/Bob McChesney
  Declare Your Independence w/Ernest Hancock (local libertarian wingnut)
  CSPAN Q&A (for some reason, this one really tilts to the right, surprising since I would figure that it would be balanced (at least between 'D' and 'R') as it is CSPAN but I'd say 75-80% of guests come from the right…)

Economics:
  Behind the News with Doug Henwood (from the left)
  EconTalk (from the right, Russ Roberts of Hoover Institute)
 
NPR:
  This American Life (the "bottom up" version of Fresh Air)
  Fresh Air w/Terry Gross (lots of interesting interviews)

Comedy:
  Real Time w/Bill Maher (though recently, they stopped putting video up, though audio is mostly OK for this program)
  Le Show w/Harry Shearer (voice of many Simpsons characters has NPR show that can be hit and miss)

Religious (y, I know most of you are anti-Christian…):
  Woodland Hills Church (Greg Boyd)

"Should the batman kill Joker because it would save more lives?" is a fundamentally different question from "should the batman have a bunch of machineguns that go BATBATBATBATBAT because its totally cool?". ~Goumindong

Football Weekly from the Guardian (British newspaper) is a pretty awesome European soccer roundup show, if you're into that sort of thing.

Forgot about Cranky Geeks (Dvorak-bot) and NPR Talk of the Nation.

Just can't handle Diane Rehm voice though…

Or her annoying tendency to constantly betray her leftism.  Personally I listen to the show because she has interesting guests sometimes, and she frequently has guest hosts.  In other words, I like her show in spite of her.

Sorta like I used to like Talk of the Nation with Ray Suarez. I liked it despite his 'rightism', so to speak. Well, he wasn't exactly 'right', but cravenly establishment.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

I LIKE being bounced around by Tonkors. - Lantyssa

Smodcast - Kevin Smith's podcast, my number one.  It's required listening.
Diggnation - Good for the lulz

Less important:
Car Talk
Filmspotting
Soccergirl - Not about soccer
Boingboingtv
