What podcasts do you listen to?

Kornheiser, some local stuff in Dallas (unfortunately The Ticket doesn't archive whole shows anymore, only a few 10-minute segments), and occasionally an overnight show in Denver.

 

Hardcore History - Bar none the best audio work I've ever heard on the Internet. Episodes only come out every 45 days or so, but are worth it. For any of you who want to jump on board, start with the four part series on the Ostfront in WWII. It will blow your mind.

Skeptics Guide to the Universe - A weekly podcast released on Saturdays. I learned a lot from this bunch over the last two years I've been listening. The panel is just about the most likable bunch you'll find around.

A Life Well Wasted - For anyone who liked or enjoyed video games at any time in their life, this is compulsory. It's made by a freelance journalist named Robert Ashley. He does all the music and interviews. He also takes his time on the project. There are only five episodes out there so far, but they're all very solid pieces of audio art. And popular. The posters designed to represent each episode are collector's items.

I was a regular listener of the Scene, Unseen movie podcast, but they went on hiatus. The same goes for the excellent soccer podcast Four at the Back.

 

This American Life

 

Me too. Spectacular feature. I listen to Carolla and the "PTI" podcast.

It's very similar to Carolla (makes sense, since it's a spinoff) but Daves of Thunder with Dave Dameshek is great. I used to love Simmons, but I think me and him are splitsville. He just does too many and goes over the same ground too many times.

 

The Paul Goebel Show
Nerdist Podcast
WTF
Simmons' B.S. Report
Simmons' 30 For 30
Celebrity Playlist Podcast
Comedy Death-Ray
I Love Movies (Doug Benson)
Never Not Funny
Savage Love Podcast
SModcast
40-Year-Old Boy
Kevin Pollak's Chat Show
Adam Carolla

I just started listening to Pollak's since his appearance on Carolla's. It's good stuff. Pollak's a terrible interviewer, but his guest list is pretty damn good. I can listen to comedians talk about the art of comedy or life on the road or how they got started. I eat that up.

 

PTI
Around the Horn
Patrick
Kornhiser
Van Pelt
Car Talk
Whad'Ya Know?

Car Talk is actually the one I'll be most likely to listen to on a given day. I have my iTunes set up to download Mike & Mike, but I don't recall the last time I listened to it.

Great list. I also was introduced to Pollak's show by his appearance on Carolla. He is a pretty bad interviewer, but he gets unbelievable guests who get pretty candid with him. I listened to Hank Azaria (really good) today and Jason Lee (surprisingly boring) today.

Dameshek's show is pretty good too.
