    No Joe Rogan podcast fans here? That's the one I listen to the most.

    Mark Maron if he has a guest I like. Otherwise I can't stand the guy.
    Star Talk Radio (Neil Degrasse Tyson's podcast).
    Adam Carolla, also only if he has a guest I like.
    Nerdist podcast occasionally.


    I tried looking for other good ones, but the Joe Rogan podcast is consistently entertaining, so I mostly just stick to that.

    By the way, I think Rogan's stand up is mediocre at best, but his podcasts are awesome. The last one had one of his friends explaining in detail how he sold coke to Whitney Huston for three months straight.

    I've only been listening to WTF for about six months and I've already listened to over 100 of them. At first I only listened to the one's from people I liked but then I started going from oldest to most recent (of the one's available on itunes) and I've found that I enjoy the one's by people I've never heard of (or don't really care for) just as much. So far out of 100+ episodes I've only disliked one. I've now only got about 20 or so till I'm caught up to the most recent and then I'm gonna listen to the premium episodes.

    good recs guys I'm gonna check some out. Also the working out comment I will often have a tv show on my phone to watch while working out and podcasts work just as well. News programs are very good to work out to. Like Davis was saying it's mostly when I'm doing my cardio, but the trouble is if I focus like you suggest E then I'll actually do worse because I'll constantly be thinking about what I'm doing and when I'm actively thinking about working out while working out I tend to do less cause I think "Oh this is hurting, I shouldn't work out, I should be at home."

    Starting to get into Comedy Bang Bang but the episodes are a bit long. I don't spend a whole lot of time in the car which is really the only place I can find time to focus on a podcast.
    i'd recommend superego. episodes of it are only 30 minutes long and it's just concentrated excellence

    This week's comedy bang bang may have been my favorite. Andy Daly is fantastic.

    The ending is one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

    Never Not Funny, Comedy Bang Bang, and Freedomain Radio are my most listened to. I also enjoy Stuff You Missed In History Class/Stuff You Should Know, Todd Glass Show, Cato Institute's Event Podcast, Hardcore History, Talk of the Nation, Car Talk, Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know?, Thinking Atheist, Filmspotting, Battleship Pretension, and maybe a few others I can't think of. I spend a lot of my work day driving so I get a chance to listen to quite a few. If anybody has any recs for good music podcasts I would love to hear them.

    By the Way, in Conversation with Jeff Garlin.

    Garlin can get a bit annoying/obtrusive, but great guests so far.

    So weird, I was just going to bump this.

    By the Way is my new favorite podcast. I love Garlin. Even the JJ Abrams episode managed to hold my attention despite me having little to no interest in him. The most recent episode with Will Ferrell was the most candid and down to earth I've heard Ferrell. He's always seemed to have some schtick going on in other interviews I've seen with him.

    I also really love The Pod F. Tompkast and Watkins Family Hour, but neither come out as often or regularly as I would like.

    Comedy Bang Bang and WTF are difficult for me to keep up with and frequently have guests I don't care too much about.

    Superego looks like a good lead, I'm going to have to check that out.

    Weird reason to skip Comedy Bang Bang episodes. It's not like you're going to learn anything about the guests anyway.

    The Giant Bombcast and WTF are the two I listen to religiously. I enjoy the WTF's where I don't know the person or dislike them usually more then the interviews of people I love.

    I've recently added to the mix:

    NYC's Radiolab - probably the best produced radio show I've ever heard.
    SonicTalk - podcast about music technology from the blokes over at Sonic State. It's a live internet video show that they make a podcast out of. I wish it was better produced, but a lot of the guys live all over the world so you have to deal with Skype in stuff.
    Idle Thumbs - the most intelligent and humorous video game talk, back on the net.

    It's more that their senses of humor don't appeal to me.

    Listened to the Will Ferrell episode today. Really enjoyed the show, but Garlin's laugh went from slightly endearing to downright annoying pretty quickly. I can see that being a problem for me going forward. It sounds so bombastic, even though I'm pretty sure it's genuine.

    I linked that episode to a friend of mine who is a huge Ferrell fan, and he had the same complaint. He seems to be a divisive figure, but his laugh just makes me laugh even harder.

    Fatman on Batman: Kevin Smith can be annoying sometimes, but I could listen to Paul Dini and Bruce Timm talk about Batman for hours and hours...

    I really like Nerd Poker. You have to start from the beginning, and it's basically just a bunch of people playing D&D, but I love it.

    Also, I don't remember if I mentioned this but I went to Comedy Bang Bang when it was live at Sundance. It was really funny live and definitely something I would recommend if you ever have a chance to see it live.

    Also it doesn't update often but The Dead Authors Podcast is really good. The one with Nietzsche and Lovecraft is the best and then the one with The Four Gospels is my second favorite.

    I need to get into The Dead Authors Podcast, if for no other reason than my newfound love of all things Paul F. Tompkins.

    It's about as Paul F. Tompkins-y as it gets. It's somewhat hit-or-miss, though even the lesser episodes (like the Emily Dickinson one) have their moments.
