I listen to them. Usually when I'm doing some mundane activity where I can pay attention to something else other than the task at hand. I primarily listen to board gaming podcasts and almost exclusively and regularly from the Dice Tower Network. I like the Ludology one since I enjoy studying games just as much as I enjoy playing them. I also enjoy the Plaid Hat Podcast because of how funny the members are. I also like to design games, so their podcast is a big eye opener to how the industry works. And of course, I like the classic Dice Tower podcast. Tom knows his stuff and gives nice reviews of a variety of boardgames. I'm also a bit of an Eric Summerer fanboy, so that also keeps me listening.

Non-boardgaming wise, I listen to a couple of religious podcasts and the informative How Stuff Works. But mainly boardgaming.

I know there are some other Dice Tower fans here, which is cool. But for both boardgaming and non, what podcasts do you like to listen to (if any)?

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, the NPR news quiz.
Ask Me Another

Not that these are strictly just podcasts; they're radio show rebroadcasts.

Car Talk when it was on.
Wait Wait Don't Tell Me every week.
A Prairie Home Companion (seen live and loved)

I don't listen to Ask Me Another usually unless I'm actually listening to NPR (well, that's true for APHC as well - although I make a point of that). Wait Wait is the one I listen to on "podcast" most frequently.

I get quickly bored with them and can't really follow them fell (It's esp hard to differ which voice is who's).. SIgh.

It's very niche, but I like Retsutalk. It's primarily about video games and let's plays.

I used to have a two-hour commute (each way) for a year and a half. I listened to LOTS of podcasts, but now that I don't drive that much anymore, the ones I still keep around are:

Uhh Yeah Dude
Answer Me This!
Wait Wait...

Friends in Your Head have a couple different movie-related podcasts that I really enjoy. Their main is "What Are You Doing, Movie?" They just watch a movie and give their commentary on it. I've only listened to a few while actually watching the movie, but for movies I've seen before it works well enough to just listen.

This is the only one I'm currently listening to.  Usually great if you're in to that stuff.

Rebooting this thread, not sorry.

I just started listening to You're Dead to Me, it's a BBC Radio 4 podcast that makes random history accessible and a little silly.  There's just a dozen-ish episodes so far but it's fun.

I really like Ludology too! Even though it's aimed more at designers than players themselves.

I've never really loved the star wars prequels, but the commentary from A More Civilized Age has really rekindled some nostalgia for the old star wars EU.
I also binged the entirety of s1 of Grad School Vonnegut this past month, its good stuff. Can't wait for the semester to be over so I can do some reading for recreation.

update: If you wanted a shallow version of Grad School Vonnegut with worse analysis but much better audio quality, Vonneguys has you covered.
Also I've really been enjoying Well There's Your Problem, a podcast with slides.
