I've started getting more and more into podcasts lately. I spend about 90 minutes at a minimum behind the wheel every day and listening to the same old music over and over gets old.
I'm curious what podcasts people out there listen to. I've found that once I start listening to one that I like to go back and get as many of the old episodes as I can get my hands on in most cases (which may amount to just two or three or may amount to 50+).
Currently on my list:
NPR: Car Talk
NPR: Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
Focus on the Family
The Popsci Podcast (Popular Science)
The Popular Mechanics Show
Obama's Weekly Radio Address
TCGCPC
Stuff You Should Know (howstuffworks.com)
TechStuff (howstuffworks.com)
I've found that I still have room in my list to add additional titles, so I'm curious what podcasts others listen to?

Don't forget the Senate Republicans podcast. The address slips me but you can look it up. |

I podcast several shows from Swedish Radio (similar to NPR/BBC) to keep up with news from the motherland. Mainly news/talk shows.

I produced a series of podcasts for my students about solving differential equations. Let me know if you'd like the link. 
Oh, I love podcasts. It's like radio that's perfectly catered to our interests. Since my interests change on a daily basis, so does my list of podcasts. For a while I listened to a well-produced podcast called Basic Brewing Radio. Podcacher is well-produced, but I got tired of it. I've listened to podcasts about bass guitar, soccer, politics, baseball, rotisserie baseball, producing podcasts, Vikings football, etc. etc. etc.
Right now, I'm listening to a podcast that you shouldn't... it might get into an argument with your FotF podcast and make your mp3 player explode.  But that's the beauty of the medium, and, incidentally, the beauty of these forums: we're all here with our different viewpoints and interests, talking about geocaching. |

I checked out his podcasts, and they were really well done, some of the math went over my head, but it was clean audio that to someone in a class, would have been easy to follow and clear. |
