Ok, I finally started checking these out. With the iPhone and iTunes, it's so easy even a retard like me can figure it out. Here are the ones I listen to:

* Air Crash Investigation - It's ok, nothing super yet, but I'm intrigued.
* Ask A Ninja - Haven't made it through an episode yet, but working on it. Could be good.
* Aviation News Today:Headlines - Good stuff
* AVWeb Podcast - Good stuff
* Battlestar Galactica Enhanced Podcast
* Battlestar Galactica Podcast
* EAA AvCast
* Galactica Quorum - Nerds Nerds Nerds! ...and I listen.
* MAKE Magazine: MAKE Podcast - MAKE rules.
* NPR: Car Talk - Great show, first thing I listen to when it's new
* NPR: Movies - Great reviews
* Onion News Network
* Pilotcast - Aviation Podcast for Pilots
* RV Pilot Podcast - Interesting stuff so far
* This American Life - Second thing I listen to, the best stuff on radio.
* Wikipedia Weekly

I'll whittle it down a little, I'm sure. Anyone else wanna share their subscriptions?

Don't hav an I-Pod so, obviously, I have no subscriptions of any kind. But ... being a fan of Firefly ... I've heard of:

http://signal.serenityfirefly.com/

Can't stop the signal? Guess not. Show had one unfinished season in 2002 and a movie.

But .... guess I'm in a minority .... good stuff, Maynard.

I'm so on the fence whether to finally break down and get an iPod. The PodCasts are one big plus, as so many are available, as you've pointed out.

There are podcast grabbers that'll work with other MP3 players.

I listen to a bunch. I'm going to be way behind when I get back to my desktop after New Year's.

WAMU: Diane Rehm show
KEXP song of the day
some other song of the day podcast (KRCW I think)
NPR: economy podcast
Ron Paul video podcast
Scientific American's 60 second science
Economist daily podcast
Slate daily podcast
Cato institute daily podcast
Gnatline podcast

I used to subscribe to Firefly and BSG podcasts, but I really don't like to listen to any podcast that's an hour long or more. Plus I just fell behind on them after a while.

Good thread, I'll have to check out that Wikipedia weekly one.

I listen to the D Rehms show on the way to work usually. She asks good questions, and I keep waiting for her to die on the air. Sounds like she's right at death's door.

Heh, I have a buddy that can't stand listening to her. He's the one that got me turned on to NPR, too. I got used to her after a while; she's got great guests and they do a good job of staying away from the right/left shouting matches that are so common in most other "news."

Tarmac,

Diane and NPR...good stuff. I usually listen otw to work and listen at my computer via the local station.

Being a nerd/geek, I'll have to check out the Scientific American podcast.
