    What podcasts do you listen to?

    I seem to be struggling to get decent podcasts to listen to on the way to work. I'm gutted since Adam & Joe stopped their show & no longer listen to Moyles/Scott Mills as they were just getting boring.

    Currently I listen to:

    Skeptics guide to the universe
    IGN
    Eurogamer

    I've tried a few other gaming podcasts (Kotaku, Destructoid) but they're a bit pants.
    The BBC Focus podcast is amateurish & talks to you like you're 3 years old.
    Other Skeptic podcasts seem to be no better than the SGU so I don't bother.

    Nothing else seems to grab my fancy & the above only gives me <3hrs a week so I need to get some more!

    So, any suggestions for decent ones?

    Cheers,

    Rob

    Dave Gorman's podcast from his Absolute Radio show is worth a listen. I also grab Robert Llewellyn's Carpool which is quite hit and miss.

    Re: What podcasts do you listen to?

    In Our Time from BBC R4 has some very interesting subjects. I also listen to a lot of Astronomy based podcasts. The 365 days of astronomy, The Jodcast, Slacker Astronomy, Astronomy Cast.
    Humans, the only animal stupid enough to pay to live on the planet Earth.

    I used to listen to some of IGN and 1up's podcasts as well but I seem to be grabbing them less and less at the moment.

    Its a shame I can't hear what they are saying as I'm speaker-less in the office so I have to try and lip-read the videos. it's not to bad when Nicks on as he moves his mouth a lot but some of the people they interview etc or chat to don't and this can be hard. They also seem to take a while to buffer on the network atm so I hardly get chance to see them now
