What podcasts do you listen to?

I've recently gotten into downloading podcasts for the drives to, from and around while working. It's almost all I listen to in the car anymore. My usual playlist consists of the Washington Post political podcast, NYTimes front page and a slew of ESPN - NFL Insider, College Football Insider, Fantasy Football, Mike and Mike, etc.

I was curious to see what else people are downloading and if I'm missing out on anything. I've been tempted to check out the learn how to speak (enter language here) to brush up on my Spanish.

 

Am I the only one that has never listened to a podcast?

 

To add to the original question, any way to download books? Recently got in trouble for listening to sports radio at work when they allow Ipods so I'll have to switch to books or podcasts.

 

The only one I subscribe to is This American Life, which is great, especially on long road trips. I loved that show when I would only stumble upon it if I was driving at 3 p.m. on a Saturday; now I can listen to it anytime. I also listened to the rather short-lived Ricky Gervais podcast, which was brilliant.

 

the iTunes store just started podcasts of "Meet the Author." Last I checked they had Alan Alda and Stephen Colbert. I listened to Colbert's over the weekend and it was pretty funny. He did select readings from his book and then had a Q and A with an audience at an apple store in NYC.

 

Nope.

 

I'm not even 100 percent certain what they are.
