Podcasts - What are your favorites?

[lawyerlee]

I'm just getting acquainted with the Podcasts (I know I'm a little behind ), and I'm wondering what are the favorites of other iTunes and iPod users.

So far, I like The Al Franken Show, On the Media, and Slate Magazine Podcasts.

What are podcasts?

They are basically free radio broadcasts that you can download through the latest version of iTunes.

Here is the page from Apple about them. I think it gives you a lot of good information.

Basically, podcasts are free broadcasts that you can download as free audio files and listen to on your iPod (or on your computer with iTunes).
Because it's really easy for people to record (publish) themselves and submit the recording to a site where there are thousands of podcasts, it's become sort of popular. Some churches are using it to "broadcast" sermons, other uses are radio programs and such. For example, if you miss CarTalk on NRP one Saturday- well, you can go look to see if it's available in Podcast form and download it for free.

Aside from those mentioned above, I have also enjoyed Ebert & Roeper, podcasts from MoMa, and Buffycast.

Does anyone have any indie favorites to recommend?
