I mostly listen while I work, so I have lots of hours to fill. Once you get into them, they are pretty addictive.

30 minute commute twice per day, 45 minutes each way to soccer twice per week, plus some random trip to the store... so around 9 hours of car time per week. Some tasks at work can be done while listening to some podcasts. I have work travel about one week per month lately, and that lets me catch up on the occasional podcasts.I like them - no sports talk voice, no need to tie up every topic in 5 minutes before the commercial break, ridiculously few commercials... it's a good pace for me.'Judge Smails said:

One that I've not seen listed that is a staple for me is Comedy Bang Bang. It can be hit-or-miss but when it hits, it's gold.

I recently got into Radiolab due to so many suggestions here and it is AWESOME! My new favorite podcast.

I've been using PocketCast for awhile. It's not bad, but they redid the UI recently and I hate the new format. Also some podcasts don't seem to update right away. There's a bunch of little annoying things, like just having to clear certain episodes you don't want to download one by one, things like that.
I downloaded BeyondPod yesterday out of frustration (it's free) and so far it seems to have everything one would need. Try that out first see if you can get along with that.

I have tinnitus and have got to have something going noise-wise or the ringing is unbearable. I would love to listen to this stuff while drifting off to sleep.
Can anyone recommend a particular type of earplug that works well trying to sleep on your side? I am surfing but would like to hear from any of you that have attempted this and if you found anything that works for you.

Great radio show.
If you don't want to wait until the next day, if you can't listen live, (Annoyance of WTEM in Washington, they feel that people will not listen to their radio station if you could d/l on the same day as the show was recorded.) go to SameDayTony.com within a couple hours and listen there! Recorded without commercials!

Mohr Stories
* this has been tougher recently, used to be every episode was good-to-great, now definitely guest-dependent
The Crab Feast
* LOVE THIS ONE. Ryan Sickler and Jay Larson work really well together. F##k the Crab Feast!!!
ESPN Fantasy Focus, baseball and football
The Champs (Neal Brennan and Moshe Kasher)
* found out about this when Moshe Kasher was on the Crab Feast. Haven't listened to all of them, but the ones that I have listened to (Craig Robinson, Aisha Tyler, Chris Rock, Too Short) have been good.

Like sleep ear plug, or ear bud? Also just curious if you've tried using a fan or other form of white noise, I have very mild tinnitus but I've used a fan my whole life and it drowns it out perfectly for me.

Glad I searched for this thread, I was waiting for a Norm podcast for years, thanks to this thread I just found out he has one!
Gonna say that after listening to podcasts for over 2 years now routinely, no hour plus comedians talking podcast is better than Jeff Garlin's podcast. Its called By The Way, In Conversation with Jeff Garlin, each episode he has a celeb friend on, and its amazing audio. Larry David was his first guest, Conan was on as well.

Any great football podcasts? I'm hoping to find something like the basketball jones for football. I'm listening to the Ross Tucker pod and its replacement level. Tried to like the audible but I'm just not enough of a fantasy diehard for those types of shows to keep my attention while working out.

I recently listened to the Bryan Callen 12/31/12 podcast of Mohr Stories, and at one point they were discussing Ronda Rousey and her hotness and fighting prowess.
And the question was posed (paraphrasing): As a man, could you be married to her, knowing that at any point she could kick your ###?
Well, could you?

I have no idea what tinnitus is, but I usually wear one ear bud when falling asleep on my side - the one that's not on the pillow. Not sure if that will help you or not, but it's way more comfortable.
Run It Up
Footballguy
Its a ringing in the ear, it may come and go or you could have it forever, it may be hardly noticeable or it could be excruciating.
Its usually caused by damage from very loud noises or from listening to loud things for extended periods.

I still use DoggCatcher, and I hear they are working on a cloud sync service as well that would let you keep track of where you are, what you've listened to, and pick up where you left on across devices. No idea where they are at with that (heard they were looking for beta testers, but no invite for me), but the standard app pretty much has everything you might need in a podcast app. I also use Presto which in conjunction with DoggCatcher lets you speed up playback, I usually listen at 2x unless it's a really complicated topic or they are playing music clips (rare for my podcasts).

I use Podkicker right now. Had a few other apps for podcasts loaded that I hadn't used as much, but what's cool is that I can use a couple of them predicated on the many choices out there on Google Play.

I am using beyondpod based on the advice here - works fine though has its limitations (could be that I don't know how to use all the capabilities). It doesn't automatically update, and you can't download more than one at a time. Is this thing a data hog? I am getting much larger data usage than i expected

I use pocketcasts, its pretty solid, they have speeded up settings in the app so that is cool to listen to pods at 1.4 times the speed which is nice. But the app sucks at getting pods right away and some pods that are daily radio shows like Dan Patrick only come up one update a day instead of 3 segments.

The Audible of course!

Wait Wait Don't Tell Me - #2 rated on iTunes
Fresh Air - NPR interviews with Teri Gross
Stuff You Missed in History Class - awesome history podcast, wide variety of topics

I just found this feature on Earwolf: http://www.earwolf.com/people?role=guest
You can search for specific guests on any podcasts through that site. I usually just want to hear certain guests, so I thought that this was pretty cool.
Found Michael C. Hall, who I'd never heard before: http://www.earwolf.com/episode/michael-c-hall/

Thanks to this thread, I started to listen to Garlin's podcast too. A couple of great guests on there and it had me belly laughing in the car a couple times. However, I can't decide who's laugh is more annoying - Garlin's or Seth Rogan's.
There have been a few others that I have recently started on too:
On the Media: just a general look at news and how the media presents it. listened to a few and thought they had a good take on things
There are 3 NPR podcasts that I really like too:
Pop Culture Happy Hour - roundtable discussion of usually 2 topics from pop culture. Usually don't care about this stuff, but it is good. Talk about anything from
the superhero phenomenon to typecasting to why shows get cancelled, etc..
Live in Concert - wide variety of shows from The Black Keys to classical. Some of the audio is iffy, but still some great stuff to be found in here.
Intelligence Squared - debate podcast couple have been good, couple have been a little dry but what is missing in the media is actual debates about topics. Everything from legalizing drugs to taxing the rich to the FDA in here.

Like others, a couple of my favorites are Radiolab and Freakonomics. Any recommendations for podcasts that are similar - science, stats, sociology, etc..?
One of the better ones in a while. They have a great story and remember all the details. Was terrific.marc maron @marcmaron 23 Jun
Oh, yeah, and @cheechandchong are on @WTFpod on Thursday. Couldn't keep that to myself. F#####G CHEECH AND CHONG.

I'm happy with this so far... about 14 chapters in - I'm getting a ton of work done in the yard while listening to this.
