Favorite Podcasts...

I know we all Love Chris' SegCast, but apart from that... what are some of your favorite podcasts?

(I know I'm going to be shooting myself in the foot because I have a ton of them on my iPOD, but I am always on the lookout for more).

Here's a list of Podcasts I enjoy (genre)

TWiT: This Week in Tech (Technology Talk Show)
MacBreak Weekly (Apple Macintosh Talk Show)
Cranky Geeks (John C Dvorak's Technology Show)
This American Life (Ira Glass hosts an artist/writer variety show)
The Onion Radio News (Fake News)
NPR: Talk of the Nation Opinion (News Talk Editorial Review)
NPR: Science Friday with Ira Flatow (Science Discussion)
Michael Feldman's Whad'ya Know News that Isn't (Funny News)

I'll chip in. There are some great teaching podcasts (e.g., from Covenant Worldwide), but as far as periodic podcasts, here are the ones I sync:

60 Second Science from Scientific American (short science news)
ABC New This Week (mostly for the funnies at the end)
Bible in a Year (and other versions like Reading Bible Podcast, The Bible Podcast, Daily Bible Reading, etc.)
Dr Karls Great Moments in Science (from down under)
Great Speeches in History (hit and miss)
NPR: Intelligence Squared (really intelligent debates)
NPR: It's all Politics (short and clever)
NPR: Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me (really funny radio quiz about the news)
Shields and Brooks (a staple)
The Economist (insightful comments from Britian)
The Founding Documents Podcast (history)
The Onion Radio News (sooooo funny)
The President's Weekly Address (satire)
The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe (had to get used to the group format)
This American Life (the best)
This Week in Nuclear (hit and miss)

I never listen to music while gliding, but I am always listening to a podcast or an audio book.

the 1UP Yours podcast. Probably some of the best video game coverage out there (most gaming journalism totally sucks)
