If you're a fan of podcasts I was curious which ones, other than the Giant Bombcast, do you enjoy?
For me, the week usually goes...
Bombcast (of course)
Game Scoop
Weekend Confirmed
Engadget Podcast
Macbreak Weekly
Rebel FM
This Week in Tech
This Week in Google
Mobcast
Podcast Beyond
and lately, In This Thread over at 1UP has really started to find its footing. Glad they at least named it.
A Life Well Wasted is good too but damn that thing can really get up its own ass sometimes.
I would list my own show but that seems kind of weird.
Non-Bombcast podcasts you enjoy
Tuesday: Bombcast
Friday: Epileptic Gaming
Also recently started listening to the Tested podcast thingy.
So far it's alright
The Hospot and the Australian gamer Podcast. I don't even live in Australia. I tried listening to Rooster Teeth's but I hated it.
I usually listen to in order
Bombcast
hotspot (gamespot.com)
Kotaku talk radio (kotaku.com)
tested podcast
screened podcast
then game industry mentor when they have an episode which isn't very often
Adam Carolla Podcast, Behind the Screened door, Bit Transmission, Comic Vine, Drunk Tank, The Electric Hydra, Gamespy Debriefings, Geekbox, Bombcast, HAWPCast, Gamescoop, Three Red Lights, Podcast Beyond, Irrational Behavior and Interviews, A Life Well Wasted, Mega 64, Mobcast, Rebel FM, Talkradar, This is only a test, Weekend Confirmed, In This Thread, and 1UP Sound Test.
I listen to alot of these however I recommend: Talkradar,Screened, The Electric Hydra, Geekbox, Rebel FM, Weekend Confirmed, and Bombcast of course. Of all of these podcasts, Talkradar is probably in my top 3, and it is a great if lengthy listen.

The screened podcast.
Used to listen to the City of Heroes one and the 1up ones, but I stopped playing COH a while back and 1up went to shit after anyone worth a tinkers dink left or got fired. I watch Food Mob, Totally Rad Show and Diggnation but I didn't consider them as podcasts since they are video. Though I guess they do have an audio only version don't they.
Ranked in order of awesomeness:
1. Giant Bomb
2. Drunk Tank (the rooster teeth guys of Red vs Blue fame)
3. Joystiq
4. Irrational Behaviour (the Irrational Games podcast...only updates every month but really good)
5. In This Thread
6. Weekend Confirmed
Some others too like Girlfight, Game Informer podcast, Bit Transmission...etc
Mega 64 and Epic Battle Axe get honourable mention but not included as they're video podcasts. But they're rad.
Weekend Confirmed is the only show I listen to besides this.
The IGN ones really dove in quality a couple months ago, that was pretty sad for me.

This thread needs more Idle Thumbs love. They might actually start casting pods over my face more frequently.
I listen to Weekend Confirmed, the Oddcast, In this thread, RebelFM and the videogamer.com-podcast (british gaming site podcast, the funniest podcast on the net for me).

My current job keeps me trapped alone in a glass box for hours on end, so podcasts come in handy as sanity fuel. Other than the Bombcast, I've listened to Beyond the Screened Door, This American Life, This is Only a Test, WireTap, Word of Mouth, and audio books from tor.com and podiobooks.com. I have also tried Anime Vice's Squadcast, but it was terrible!
