I've got an... odd list of go to's.

Ari Shaffir's Skeptic Tank
Church of What's Happening Now (Joey Diaz)
Hardcore History
Joe Rogan Experience
Car Talk (yes, from NPR)
The Smartest Man in the World (Greg Proops)

I like following MMA, so a lot of stuff from Sherdog Radio Network is on there. Look up Jordan Breen (Cheap Seats). That guy is on another level from the rest of us. And talks hockey when prompted.

BS Report (sports, pop culture)
This American Life/Radiolab (random human interest stories)
ESPN Fantasy Focus Baseball/Football (duh)

and I can't believe I'm the first one in this thread to mention:

Uhh, Yeah Dude (comedy)

They're almost 400 weekly episodes strong (they started in 2006, I think), and what can I say, they make me laugh almost every time.

Used to listen to or never got into:
Carolla
WTF
Doug Loves Movies

I just got into Hardcore History last week and I find ****ing fantastically fascinating.

Gonna buy the entire lot, I forgot how much I dig history about anything.

HH is my favorite history podcast with The History of Rome in a close second.

Lately, I've been listening to The China History Podcast. Chinese history is very interesting.

(If you don't recognize his name, think "Needle Nose Ned" from Groundhog Day)

Wow, thanks for this. Been marathoning these and dude can tell a story like no other.

Another podcast I enjoy - Pop My Culture, it might be a bit quirky for some people's tastes.

The Tobolowsky one was definately one of the better episodes.
PMC 105: Stephen Tobolowsky

Co-hosted by Vanessa Ragland

So there was a guy named Mike Duncan who did a weekly podcast for... a few years on 'The History of Rome' (search that to find it on iTunes). It wrapped up about a year ago, so he took some time off to figure out what the next grand project was going to be.

I got an update from his iTunes podcast (I stayed subscribed to it) that says he's working on the next project, plans to start releasing it in September, and is doing an AMA on reddit tomorrow at 6:30 EDT.

If you can get past these guys laughing hysterically at their own jokes, they actually know a lot about cars. I've learned a lot from this show. And the puzzler is almost always good.

Car Talk, Science Friday and the Sunday Puzzle from NPR.

It works out pretty well, I find that my commute time during a week aligns nicely with these. About the time I'm finishing up one week, the next week's shows are available.

Oh year, there's this one other one. A couple of strange guys from Canada talking about bacon and titties (and occasionally poker).

+1 to 2p2 Pokercast, Joe Rogan (although his laugh annoys the hell out of me), and the Moth.

I also like The Nights Watch, for those who watch Game of Thrones.

Reviving this thread to see if someone can help me find any more awesome podcasts.

I mainly listen to ones at least revolving around film but I love comedy podcasts too.

Here's the list:

Answer me this
Scriptnotes
Smodcast

Filmcast

Just discovered Ten Minute podcast last week and have been non-stop listening to it. Funniest thing I've ever heard.

It has Rafi (Jason Mantzoukas) and Andre (Paul Scheer) from The League, Scheer's wife, and then a random guest each week.

Listened to my first Comedy Bang Bang episode. Very odd (listened to episode with Paul F. Tompkins and Bobby Moynihan), but I laughed quite a bit so will probably listen to some more. Not sure I needed a whole hour and 45 minutes, though. With his Andrew Lloyd Weber and Werner Herzog impressions, Paul F. Tompkins is topping my list of comedians these days.

I agree with many others, Corolla isnt anywhere near as good as he was back on loveline. I still listen to him and Drews podcast when I take long car rides, or ill listen to his solo one if he has a really good guest on, otherwise meh.

other ones I listen to are

Mysterious Universe
Skeptics Guide to the Universe
The Naked Scientists
Skeptoid
Freakonomics
Joe Rogan
