Today I made the pivotal decision of listening to podcasts on my way to college. I expect my life to change for the better and my eyes to start shooting lasers (the latter evidently leading to the first). So what are some nice podcasts you can recommend me?

For VideoGames, I listen to Giant Bomb, Rebel FM, The GeekBox, The Gamespy Debriefings, 1up's Good Grief, Listen UP and Retronauts.
For NonVideogames, How stuff works's Stuff You Should Know, and Stuff You May have Missed in History Class. Also CBC's Quirks and Quarks, Ideas and How to Think about Science.

I listen to game podcasts all the time while animating. They usually take just over an hour, but sometimes go nuts and turn out way longer. I've bin listening to GiantBomb.com's Bombcast every week since day 1, you might not get some of the jokes at this point but whatevs, they're genuinely fun guys. 1UP.com's Listen Up is good aswell. It's alot more scripted and by-the-numbers but y'know, sometimes you just want to hear the news. IdleThumbs.com's podcast can be really funny, but they're full of inside jokes so that can be kind of annoying.
"Stuff You Should Know" sounds like a good podcast, I'm gonna download that.

I enjoy Downloadable content (the penny arcade podcast) from time to time, although I really must reccomend the Penny Arcade/PVP Dungeon's and Dragons special. It's a podcast of Jerry Holkins, Mike Krahulik, and Scott Kurtz playing D&D with a pro DM, and for the later podcast, Wil Wheaton joins the party. It's absolutely worth listening to whether or not you enjoy their body of work.

Of course the Indie game development podcast show sponsored by Curiosoft and the letter 'E' (can't switch off the "commercial" - I just heard it too often :D) http://www.indiegamepod.com/

If you are an intelligent human, you will find that The Skeptics Guide to the Universe is awesome. Also, the similarly themed Skeptoid (first ~20-30 episodes are quite mixed though.)

First I will preface this with "I find all/most game podcasts to not be very useful. Sometimes humorous but I can only listen to so many. I really wish there were more good indie game podcasts that dealt more with the business and creative side of things (I don't listen to programming podcasts, way too dry). On the other wide of the coin, I listen to a lot of comics/illustration podcasts, which OFTEN focus on the business and marketing side of things, and sometimes their advice helps me in game making too. Here's my list. I listen to a lot of others too, but these are the ones I feel are more important (ie. no one cares about TWIT and Dvorak) Art & Story boagworld (web design) Breaking the Panel Idle Thumbs In-Game chat Indie Game Development Podcast Digipen Podclass (though I will admit it can often be a bit dry) Webcomics Weekly Big Illustration Party Time

THANKS https://soundcloud.com/indiedev-1/indiedev-podcast-e01-gamejams-and-twitter-tweetsThat goes for everyone else too :D Please have a listen!!

If you are interested in HTML5 game dev, LostCast is pretty good. If you like roguelikes: RoguelikeRadio.

Not really game-related podcasts, but WTF is good, as is Girl on Guy. And if you're into sound design, there's always Tonebenders. Not to mention the Todd Barry podcast if you like listening to smooth voices.

None of these are game related, but
– Serial – StartUp – Dan Carlin's Hardcore History – Comedy Bang Bang
I'm about to go to work, so I'll edit this post later with more in depth descriptions, but they're all really good

This was 6 years ago. I stopped listening to all of those pods except Giant Bomb. Now the list is: 99% invisible Hardcore History Designer Notes Freakonomics Idle Thumbs Planet Money Radiolab Serial The Bugle THis American Life Tone Control Very Bad Wizards
