Podcarsts
I didn't bother with podcasts much until recently, but since discovering these few, I've been listening to them on a regular basis, so if you're interested, here are my recommendations.

One Life Left
http://www.onelifeleft.com/
British gaming podcast. Lots of fun and they don't go too deep into the games either. There's a lot of good old-fashioned British cynicism about the industry, and the three regulars have a great rapport which makes it good listening. They have pieces sent in by a few people; songs, poems and other recitals. Recently they've started having guests on the show on a regular basis too. Which is nice.

Adam & Joe
http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/adamandjoe/
These guys used to have a TV show way back when, where they would create parodies of movies and TV shows using their toy collection, often Star Wars figures. The podcast cuts the music from the show and focuses on their chatting and mail from listeners. They sometimes make songs taking the piss out of movies, and they also regularly pimp their youtube shenanigans. If you know what Crystal Maze is, you might enjoy this.

Introducing... with Tom Robinson
http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/tom_robinsons_introducing/
Tom Robinson plays songs from loads of artists you've never heard of, usually having recommendations sent in by listeners or the bands themselves. A lot of them are on myspace so don't get a lot of publicity, but there's generally a reasonable volume of good stuff on the show, and definitely nothing offensively bad.

200

A German techno podcast. Shows tend to be a bit on the short side, playing only four or five tunes a week, but sometimes they have longer specials. I'm kind of out of touch with the techno genre, so it's a good way for me to hear good things. Again, I haven't heard anything bad on this podcast since I started listening at the start of the year. Tracklists are now posted on the site too, thankfully, as I can never make out what the presenter is saying!
