PA Girl's post on another thread got me thinking. I listen to podcasts and am always looking for suggestions. Some of them I subscribe to right now are "Wait,Wait,Don't Tell Me", "A Prairie Home Companion", "Stuff Mom Didn't Tell You", and "Food Dude".
Anyone care to share their favorites?

I love podcasts, it makes housework and other boring tasks go faster.

I regularly listen to:

The Splendid Table - love this so much! Anyone who likes to eat or cook should check out her website and podcast.
TBTL (Too Beautiful to Live) - AH, this is Luke Burbank, one of the regulars on Wait Wait
This American Life - NPRish human interest stuff
Planet Money - economic issues
The Sporkful - eating

I also like:

The Crew Lounge - flight attendents
Hanger Flying - pilots
Excess Baggage - travel
Rick Steves - travel
The Moth
Risk
The Parent Experiment - when I am desperate, their parenting ass-vice is too mainstream for me

Forgot to add some off the wall ones -

Inside Disney Weddings - all about Disney weddings.
BetaMouse - about using technology at Disneyworld.

I have no real interest in Disney, weddings or using a GPS at Disneyworld but the passion of the hosts fascinates me, especially the weddings one because the producer doesn't seem to "get" Disney and he is always making stupid cracks.

Some of the stories on the Moth make me laugh until I cry.
