I've just got back into podcasts and manage to setup a client so it only refreshes at midnight each day so im only downloading midnight-8am :). I need some suggestions on what to listen to! What I currently listen to are:

Skeptics Guide to the Universe
Hospital Records
D&B Arena
Barcode Filthcast

What do other people rate as being good?

Few music ones there.
The Bleep.com podcast is good for new electronic music.
Depends where your interests lie, Kermode and Mayo's film review podcast is good if you are interested in film reviews.
If you like computer games then the Giant Bombcast is fantastic.
I enjoy the Skeptics Guide as well, and also listen to The Space Show. It can be dull if you aren't interested in American space policy, although some episodes are more general about the feasibility of missions to mars and such.

Above & Beyond: Trance Around The World
BBC Radio 4: Friday Night Comedy Podcast

Both free and both excellent.

A State Of Trance - Armin Van Buuren
+1 for R4 Fri Comedy and Bleep
6 Music recommends
Solid Steel (Ninja Tune)
BBC Documentary of the Week

FWIW, if you're using an iPhone, I highly recommend the DownCast application. Infinately better at downloading/managing/listening to podcasts than iTunes and totally removes iTunes from the podcast process.

Above and Beyond is brilliant - get your big headphones on in the office and power through the work!

Also, check out the Guardian podcasts - they have some good ones, although the production values tend to be a bit sloppy. I like Tech Weekly and Media Talk 🙂

Guardian Football Weekly is brilliant with The Football Ramble a close second

If you are in to football that is!

I also download Fighting Talk and The Mark Kermode film review from BBC Radio 5 Live
