it/tech/networking/educational podcasts?

ive got some time during my daily commute, and now and again doing boring stuff at work where id like something to listen to that is IT related but not just babble about gadgets and such. something informative or education, for instance

ive been listening to packet pushers, which is usually interested, but would like something else

anyone have any suggestions?
 
I decided to flip through itunes and google to see what I could find. It's actually hard to get through itunes because their interface and search function suck. However if you find a decent one, then you can usually find something related that other people have listed.

Cisco's TechWiseTV podcast looks promising - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns719/networking_solutions_program_home.html

Cisco also has a podcast for Unified Communications - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/voicesw/product_generic_uc_podcast_series.html

Found a Cisco TAC Security podcast - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/solutions/ns170/tac/security_tac_podcasts.html

You can also flip through itunes U if you want some lectures.
 
Security Now! with Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson is fantastic. Steve is really a Security and Technology expert (he still does all his coding in assembly). You'll want to start from Episode 1 and listen all the way through (now on ~290).

TWiCH is pretty good. Lots of stuff about new CPU's, mobos, graphics cards etc.

As mentioned, iTunes U is a great source for lectures from actual professors.

Hak5 is pretty good show too. They do a bunch of linux/windows 'hacking' and get in depth on geeky topics like virtualization and packet sniffing. Its more of a video show, but probably works as audio only.

not much interested in new desktop tech like cpus and video cards and such, but some of those suggestions sound interesting, ill look into them

http://PaulDotCom.com can be an entertaining Info Sec podcast.

There's also all of the Microsoft podcasts... http://www.microsoft.com/events/podcasts/

awesome, thanks

It is one of the easiest ways to find content.

that may be, ive just never had a reason to use it before. i dont own any apple devices , so i havent had a reason to use their software, and i really havent wanted to deal with some of the hassle ive read about it (and ive never heard my apple-fanboy friends say a good thing about itunes, despite their love of apple products)

You mean worst. Its format is awful. They group stuff together that should not be. You really cannot browse for anything unless you want to search on something specific. Plus the itunes software is bloated and needs some work on it to make it faster. Only reason I use it is because I have an ipod touch.

Where else do you find all the content in one place (that's somewhat sorted)?
