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.
