    I listen to podcasts all day while I work and am totally hooked. What does everyone else listen to? I'm always looking for more. Here's my current list (they are all weekly):

    Music:
    Drum & Bass Arena
    Hospital Records (drum & bass)
    Beatport drum & bass
    Beatport house

    Technology:
    TWIT (This Week in Tech w/ Leo Laporte)
    Macbreak Weekly
    Windows Weekly
    FLOSS Weekly (open source software talk)
    Tekzilla (reminiscent of a Tech TV show)
    Diggnation - (top Diggs for the week)

    Humor:
    You Look Nice Today (described as a Voltaire reference meeting toilet humor)
    Smodcast (director Kevin Smith and friends banter)

    Other:
    Wine Library TV (step up your wine knowledge, even though the host is annoying)
    iFanboy (comic book talk)

    Are there any sports podcasts worth listening to? I figure it's better to just listen to sports radio because the podcast may be out of date by the time I actually listen to it. How about NPR podcasts?

    I listen to mostly fan podcasts since that's what I work on and some writing and comedy podcasts.

    And I will listen to the podcasts that people I know work on.

    Here's what's in my catcher.

    Soccergirl, Inc
    Geologic Podcast (those two sort of go hand in hand ;))

    FireflyTalk
    The Signal
    The 9th - Heroescast (these last three are the ones I work on)

    I Should Be Writing
    Variant Frequencies
    Anything by Scott Sigler
    or J.C. Hutchins
    (and most of the stuff by Mur Lafferty)

    Slice of SciFi
    Podculture (I used to listen regularly to these two, but I haven't lately)
    The Weird Show

    I think that's all right now. I had a bunch more, but I have been burned out on listening to them this summer and instead have been listening to music. I will probably subscribe to some of the ones from people I know for the winter.

    Listening to it right now. Good recommendation, it never occurred to me to check out city-centric podcasts. I'm subscribing.

    Don't bother with the Texans podcasts. They are trash.

    This is so cool, I'm listening to your Heroes podcast right now Hayesfan! I'll watch some Firefly before I jump into the Firefly podcasts.

    Also checking out Phil Hendrie, who my friend has been raving about for a long time.

    LOL did you start at the beginning? I swear we get better!! We've been on "hiatus" with the show gone for so long, but I will have something up late tonight that we recorded live from DragonCon.

    Dang! You're like my friend Mark.. he's got a TON that he listens to. I have problems keeping up with them so I leave and come back and leave and come back to a lot of them.

    Bobby Bones - that's it. I get overwhelmed by searching for podcasts to listen to. there's so many! It's intimidating.

    Go to someplace like podcastpickle.com and pick a topic you are interested in. Then subscribe to some of the more popular ones. It's likely if they are at the top of the list that they can't be all bad.

    You will NOT regret it. You know the whole premise of the show, right? If not, it could be quite an experience listening for the first time. :)

    Good LORD, man. Do you EVER take your iPod off??

    I started w/ the last one, which seems fitting (reviewing the first episode of Heroes). Well done! Good quality too, are most of you in the same room or all of you conferencing in? I might start from the beginning now...but I'm looking forward to the DragonCon podcast! I've never been, I'm jealous.

    I do, but I would probably never realize it unless my friend told me. I'm just amazed at how good he is at doing it, it sounds so natural.

    Didn't TWIT have the guy from The Disciplined Investor AND Dave Ramsey on the same show? Looks like I'll have to try these two out.

    I also watch much of Leo Laporte's live webcast.

    Andrew Horowitz is the guy who does the Disciplined Investor and he will do TWIT sometimes. I don't ever remember Dave Ramsey doing TWIT but I used to listen to his podcast all the time. Dave Ramsey has a good podcast if you want to learn about personal finance.

    I see that you are a revision 3 guy, how come you don't watch the totally rad show? I think it is the best show on their network.
