BEST ANSWER chosen by asker | tko | December 17, 2008 11:37 AM

I listen to most of the TWiT and Pixel Corps podcasts:
- FLOSS Weekly
- Futures in Biotech
- Security Now
- The VFX Show
- This Week in Mac
- This Week in Media
- This Week in Photography
- This Week in Tech
- Windows Weekly
Also I listen to:
- Battlestar Galactica Podcast
- Fat Guys at the Movies
- Gaming Steve (if / when he ever does any more)
- In Game Chat (formally Evil Avatar radio)
- LAN Party (formally GFW radio)
- MacOS Ken
- Movies You Should See (always funny group)
- Retrogaming Radio (a little bit irregular)
- The Mac Observers Mac Geek Gab
- The Penny Arcade Podcast
- You Suck at Web Design (very funny guy)
And on Video:
- Geekbrief TV
- iPhone Ringtones Weekly Video
- Mac Break
- The Ellen DeGeneres Show in a Minute
(Video is hardly the future ..you have to stop and watch video. I listen to the audio podcasts every day when I bike or bus to work and back, or when I'm doing solitary stuff at work, or when trying to sleep some nights. Audio is so much more versatile.)

The Bugle - Audio Newspaper for a Visual World
It's a hilarious podcast from Times Online featuring John Oliver (from Daily Show) and Andy Zaltzman. It's hilarious.

By far I prefer anything from TWIT! (At least when we discuss only "listening" to podcasts.) Where else can you hear Jason Calacanis do an impersonation that makes John C Dvorak sound like the Penguin from Batman Returns? You really shouldn't limit yourself to only "listen" to podcasts (unless you only have an iPod shuffle). The best podcasts now are video. I love most everything being done at CNET and Revision 3, but really iTunes gives you a chance to find niche information not readily covered by mainstream broadcast media.

Agreed, I revised it to include video. And yes, I too enjoy the Calacanis impressions of Dvorak. OOOOOOhhhhhh Audible.

Believe it or not, I pretty much listen to the ones off Twitter randomly. That is a lot more fun and gives me new material constantly.

I like Gary VEE Vaynerchuck, Ted Videos, and searching youtube for unlimited content. I guess I should break out my ipod but it feels like such a dinosaur to me now with streaming.
