Surprisingly, there isn't a thread like this already here.(There is one about other audio dramas).
So here's my question to you: "What podcasts do you listen to?"
The dim grey ones are podcasts I no longer listen to since I first posted this.
I'll start off with mine (alpha sorted): (the dark gray ones are ones I no longer listen to since I created this list)
- All Songs Considered - Features a variety of independent songs. Generally speaking, most songs are in a "NPR safe" genre. Which means if you like rock or hardcore rap, you won't find it here.
- Answer Me This - A podcast from Britain where two hosts answer any questions that are sent in to them. Listen for the host's personalities
- Coffee Break Spanish - I decided to reestablish what I learned in high school by actually taking some time during my drive to learn Spanish. I know there are other languages as well. Easy to understand and goes an easy pace.
- Common Sense With Dan Carlin - A dialogue about (generally) the state that America is in, without getting into any partisanship. Generally a great listen, even if it does err on the side of dystopia.
- Doug Loves Movies - A podcast for movie enthusiasts. Plays a intriguing game with his guests every week. Often has well known guests. This week it was Rain Wilson (The Office) and Simon Pegg (Shawn of the Dead)
- Escape Pod - Short Sci-fi stories by a variety of authors in an audiobook-esque format
- The /Filmcast - A good consistent film review podcast that doesn't feel like two guys got together on their couch to record. (There are way too many of those in film review podcasts).
- Knockin' Boots - Sex & Relationship advice for gamers. The hosts get more drunk throughout the podcast which leads to some very humorous moments. (Greg Miller from WND is a regular member of the discussion)
- Game Scoop - This podcast features Greg Miller and is a take on everything current video games
- The GameSpy Debriefings - A very funny podcast regarding video games. It is everything Rooster Teeth's Drunk Tank wishes it could be.
- Grammar Girl - Awesome podcast regarding language for writing and its proper use. One of the only podcasts that I know that includes the transcript in the file description. (Which means you can read along on your iPod)
- Having Sex, with Katy Morgan - Actually, my only podcast from the SModcast network. It's another sex advice podcast, but the banter between Katy and Kevin is really what separates this from many of the other from the same vein. That, and Katy was a porn star.
- Judge John Hodgman - Presented in the same manner as your afternoon Judge show on TV, but addresses much more trivial conflicts. Judge John Hodgman has two guests on who cannot resolve an argument, and he mediates the decision for them. Some examples include whether it is ok to have a cab driver take you through a drive through on the way home, and the morality of potluck.
- Intelligence Squared - A NPR podcast where they have "Oxford style debates on US shores". Each episode they have two teams of debaters with two members on each. They tackle large topics such as "Should we consider terrorists criminals or enemies?" (thanks nikvoodoo for this recommendation)
- Machine of Death - A reading through the anthology that is the "Machine of Death" in an audiobook-esque format
- The Moth - Live standup from people who recount stories that have happened to them. Much more impressive than it sounds
- My Brother, My Brother And Me - 3 brothers that joke and crude their way through relationship advice
- The n00bketeers - Gaming podcast that feels more like a couch discussion. What separates this from the myriad of other podcasts that use the same style is the hosts personalities. (Britt from WND is one of the hosts on this podcast)
- Podcast Beyond - A podcast that is great for any Playstation / PSP enthusiast from IGN. One of the hosts happens to be Greg Miller, one of the hosts to We're Not Dead.
- Psuedopod - Escape Pod, but for horror
- RISK! - The Moth, but rather than 1 story a week, more like 4 or 5
- Savage Love Podcast - Sex/Relationship advice from a rather gay male, in a serious tone. (not somber)
- Search Engine - A small discussion about a given issue in the current tech world. They've done features on Anonymous, data caps in Canada, etc.
- Skeptoid - A short attempt to look at the facts or the most skeptical look at supernatural or weird events
- The Sporkful - to quote "It's for eaters, not for foodies". In a nutshell, two guys discuss the best ways to consume specific foods. Ranging from bagels to tea, and more
- Story of the Day - Small news featurettes about news items. Good for staying up on what's happening around the world.
- Stuff You Should Know - Awesome little factual information you should know. Put on by Howstuffworks.com, it discusses random things like Crime Scene Photography, Fainting Goats, Nuclear Reactor Meltdowns, Cults, etc.
- Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me - A podcast put on by NPR out of Chicago. A quiz show about what's happening around the world
- We're Alive - This is an audio drama about surviving during a zombie apocalyptic scenario. As in it's an actual story. Amazing production values, and already has ~20hours worth of content.
- We're Not Dead - Fan podcast about We're Alive. Goes over theories about the current episode, interviews with guests, and takes questions from the fans.
I had the list already prepared, so yes, I even described We're Alive/We're Not Dead
Mine changes constantly but these are in the standard rotation. I'll use alphabetical as well.
- IGN Beyond! - PS3 gaming podcast, Pete is a regular host playing his role as "Greg Miller"
- IGN GameScoop - general gaming podcast, Pete also shows up on most episodes acting as "Greg Miller"
- Joystiq - general gaming podcast
- PC Gamer (US) - self explanatory
- Sarcastic Gamer Brown - I listened because of the parody songs they performed in the past. Now, it's not as funny and devolves into immature jokes but the occasional songs are solid.
- We're Alive
- We're Not Dead
I think I'll check out two that you listed: Stuff You Should Know and Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me. They sound like right up my alley.
this might take a minute....and in no particular order
- Mike and Mike In the Morning- Sports
- Around the Horn- Sports
- PTI- Sports
- The B.S. Report- Sports
- The Moth- Storytelling
- Meet the Press- Politics
- Intelligence Squared- NPR Debate show
- Story of the Day- NPR News Story
- Pro Wrestling Report- Pro Wrestling
- Risk- Funny storytelling
- Stuff to Blow Your Mind- Science podcast
- Stuff you Missed in History Class- Exactly what it sounds like

And last but not least is of course We're Alive and We're Not Dead.

Gamespy Debriefings - IGN's Scott Bromley and Brian Altano are very funny on this.
Knocking Boots - The IGN love advice podcast. Listen to Pete playing Greg Miller as he tells people to just burn their bridges.
Nintendo Voice Chat podcast - My video game systems at the moment are the Wii and 3DS and these guys cover them quite well.
Hamish and Andy - Two australian comedians who have taken their now once a week radio show and they upload it as a podcast. They also do the occasional board room podcast which is just them answering fan mail. They used to do a weekly podcast and if you can catch some of them, they are very good. In particular any of their caravaning or tall ship episodes are worth checking out.
We're Alive - I used to hate zombies. The excellent story hooked me and keeps me interested. That damn Pete as Greg Miller suggested this one.
We're not Dead - That damn Pete as Greg Miller suggested this one as well.

Hmm. Now that I look at it, not much music at all on there, just a couple of Weezer albums. I'd rather listen to a good story while commuting.
I'm going to have to try some of these others you all have named, haven't heard of most of them.
I went to subscribe to Knockin' Boots only, and it doesn't exist. It's only an episodic release from Game Scoop. Not a problem, though. I created my own feed to subscribe to just Knockin' Boots.Quote:

And countless Audible Books. I like this thread and will have to give some of those mentioned a try.

IGN Games Podcasts - the one that grabs all of them but I listen to Beyond and Knocking Boots
We're Alive
We're Not Dead (Most recent addiction, needs more cast interviews)
The Instance (Big WoW podcast)
Right After Wrestling (a wrasslin' podcast)
Just We're Alive
IGNs "Gamescoop", "Beyond", "Three red lights" (We miss you Nate, Eric, and the other lights that went out), "Podcast Unlocked", "Command prompt" (before Charles Onyett became an xbot) and "Knocking boots".
Other than the well known IGN podcasts I also listen to "Rebel FM" an independent podcast generally about games but they get off topic onto politics, baldness, cat facts and how Scott bromley is podcast cancer).
"The Leviathan Chronicles" Mentioned in a thread about Audio dramas so I won't go into details.
And last but not least "We're not dead" because Greg miller and We're alive are my favourite things.
Oh and a very small indie podcast "we're alive".
We're Alive
We're Not Dead
We Might Still Be Breathing (The upcoming fan-podcast about We're Not Dead)
Ask A Ninja
Dragonlance Canticle
Those are the ongoing (or upcoming). There've been some others in the past, but they've finished and can't really say I'm listening to them anymore. I do have Librivox's Art of War however. Always good to carry around
Wait really? This shit's gettin' crazy yo. Where does it end???? ;)Quote:

I will be hosting the fan podcast of "We might still be breathing", "We're Viruses?" (For those of you who don't know there is a huge debate over whether Viruses can be classified as living). anyone want to work out where it goes from there?
I wanted to update and say I now listen to n00bketeers (thanks britt), intelligence squared (thanks nikvoodoo)
I'm going to start listening to Beyond and Game Scoop. Should I listen to the earlier episodes? Or just start at the most recent?
You can go back, because they are entertaining, and then you catch up on the "in" jokes, but really they are just going over video game news, so as long as you don't care to hear them talking about old content, have at.Quote:

If your interested in comedy, you should also check out GameSpy's Gamespy Debriefings. Just go download episode 120 onwards its about 5 minutes of video game talk, 20 minutes of letters and (combined with everything else) an hour of comedy. If you enjoy a more video game focused comedy, go check out the IGNAU Pubcast
I listened to the latest Intelligence Squared about illegal immigration. Found it very interested, but it I have my own opinions on immigration, and the podcast didn't touch on that part until about after the beginning of the second half of the show. Subscribed after listening to that one, though.Quote:

I'll have to check out those other podcasts, I keep catching up with other podcasts and needs my fix on the stuff. Honestly I'm just getting tired of listening to the same old music!
- We're Alive (obviously!)
- WND
- Answer me This! (totally with you there j0be)
- The Bugle - Topical news satire (One of the guys is Helen from Answer me this' brother)
- The Infinite Monkey Cage - Science type stuff
- Carpool - Robert Lewellyn (Kryten from Red Dwarf if any of yous guys saw that) Gives people a lift in his Prius and kind of chats to them - more interesting than it sounds! (sometimes)
- Scott Sigler Audiobooks
- Fried Green Zombies another podiobook, finished now, kinda funny though.
And a bunch of mainly UK radio stuff.....
