Lately I've been listening to podcasts while I work and I figured I would share a few that you may or may not have heard of. Post the podcasts you like too.

Dan Savage - Savage Love (NSFW)
http://podcasts.thestranger.com/savagelove/archives.php
A sex columnist takes phone calls/emails and answers things frankly. Pretty interesting overall.

Leo Laporte (and guests)- This Week in Tech
http://twit.tv/
Many podcasts with the majority focused on Tech. Lots of tech industry people. Some specific ones I recommend are, This Week in Tech, Macbreak Weekly, Windows Weekly.

Kevin Smith (and friends) - Smodcast (NSFW)
http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/category/smodcast/
Hosted by Kevin Smith aka Silent Bob. Lots of anecdotes and skits, humor abounds.

Great tx! I was kinda searching for some interesting podcasts, they tend to make some tedious takes so much more bearable.

i was really obsessed with savage love for the past week or so, but after a while it gets kind of repetitive. a lot of the same questions get answered over an over
he is a pretty witty guy though, and very articulate
btw how do you find your podcasts?
i just look through interesting categories on zune marketplace

At one time my life revolved around listening to this podcast until I had too much school work. Comedy podcast with lots of interesting stories about people and their lives. Very funny.

And you are right, TWIT is awesome.

I find some through iTunes and just suggestions on other forums mostly.

Thanks! I'm gonna try listening to a few of these. The only other podcasts I used to listen to were the ones done by Day[9] and Chill and Hot_Bid but I've already listened to all of Day[9]'s multiple times, and Chill and Hot_Bid don't do them anymore. =/

I liked Day[9]'s podcasts too I just forgot to mention them. I wish TL would bring back the TL podcast it was fun.

It depends what the work entails.

I'm a programmer and I know a lot of other programmers that say they don't even like listening to music with lyrics while they program. Or for particular hard programming bits they won't listen to any music at all, and others still need music to program effectively.

I do miss bits and pieces of the podcasts while I'm listening to them but nothing major.

I tried listening to audio books while I program but that didn't work since they require more attention than a podcast.
