Podcasts - Which Ones Do You Listen To?

I'm looking to add a few good podcasts to my library for all my time in the car and at the gym. Which ones do you like and why?

Disclaimer: in the spirit of the board's policies, I'd prefer if folks steered clear of political ones. I have no use for them as it is and I'd rather not get the thread derailed.

NPR's All Songs Considered

Especially their live concert series is especially excellent.

Thanks for the tip on that one. I downloaded a concert with Ray Davies of the Kinks doing their songs with a chorale group. Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.

John Hodgeman's "It Happened Today, in the Past"

Short and punchy...Caters to the Slate Magazine demographic. Cracks me up.

I've thought about the Rick Gervais one. I'm a big fan of his most of the time.

Re: Podcasts - Which Ones Do You Listen To?

The Dave Ramsey Show
This American Life
The BS Report With Bill Simmons

I really haven't looked for too much else as I don't have a ton of time for podcasts, and these three fill the time I do have pretty adequately. I really only listen to Simmons during football season or if he does something on pop culture that I care about.

I knew someone had mentioned the Relevant podcast, and I just wanted to note that they read my question response at the end of the podcast this week. I'm the one (marcshoe, also my old cincy.com board name) who wanted to pay money to find out government secrets (which politicians were giant marionettes, etc.)

Bat Segundo - Great author interviews with big name authors paired with book snark. I find Edward Champion entertaining.

Haven't listened to this week's show yet, but I'll keep an ear out for your response.
