Good podcasts?

Need some good podcasts to listen to at work. I already downloaded a few episodes of Handel on Law based on the other thread, but I'm looking for some other interesting ones. Nothing too crazy or involved, I mainly just need some entertaining background noise while I work.
 
What are your interests? I listen to a tonne, but mainly sports, film, and comedy related so not sure if any of them would be interesting to you.

I'm not too big into sports, so that's out. If I had to pick my top three areas of interest for this it would be cars, tech, and comedy (in that order).

EDIT: I'm already aware of TWiT.

Do you mean Fitzsimmons? Fitzdog Radio?


Judge John Hodgman is pretty good and The Nerdist is a bit of tech and comedy. Professor Blastoff is also a bit of a blend of comedy and other stuff; they actually have scientists on sometimes and other times comedians, to discuss the topic of the week.

I highly recommend the Skeptics Guide to the Universe. Even if you're not into science or skepticism, it is very entertaining. Give a few episodes a chance and i'm sure you will love it.
 
I just got every episode from 1 to 400andsomething of This American Life.

Really like this "show" but not all episodes are winners.
 
I really like Handel on the Law. It's law oriented, with the host taking legal questions, but he is so brash and has a way with words. Very funny guy if you like his sense of humor. Extremely non-PC.
 
I'd also like to add that Greg Proops podcast(The Smartest Man in the World podcast) has become one of my favorites. I'm at odds with him with pretty much everything political (this makes up a lot of his material), but I forgive him for it because he is the best I've ever heard in terms of off-the-cuff humor and wit. All his shows are done live in various comedy clubs so it's like getting to listen to a very good standup act every week.
 
Nerdist and This Is My Next for comedy and tech, respectively.

If you like video games, Giant Bomb's Bombcast is a must.
 
Listened to This American Life this morning when I came in. Really good stuff, thanks for the suggestion. Going to listen to The Nerdist after lunch.

Fallen out of favor with me:
Joe Rogan - just not funny or topical or interesting to me.
WTF with Marc Maron (I still have it but rarely actually listen.)
the Nerdist - again dunno why but just never got it / got into it.
Smodcast - I actually loathe KS after listening to his various podcasts.
