Chaps/Chappets.

So, I listen to a lot of podcasts and am looking for a few new ones. Specifically, I'm interested in good debates/interviews - I'm hoping for something along the lines of regular interviews/debates about various topics/contentious issues etc.

But lets list some of our favs, and their subject Matter.

My recommends:

PA Downloadable Content - Duh...
Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4 - Very funny... well, the Now show is. UK centric sometimes...
Gamercast Network - Games (General)
Mark kermode Film Revies - Does what it says on the tin. I like this guy, he does good... rants.
NPR Religion - Just interesting, I'm not even religious.
SModcast - Kevin Smith talks shit. Sometimes its boring, sometimes its great.
Tales of Heroes - if you play Company of Heroes - this is a must!
VirginWorlds - General MMO talk - where I keep up to date with Massive games.
WNYC's Brian Lehrer - I dont know how I found this - but a good talk show.
1UP Yours - Games (general)


...so, what do you guys like/Recommend?

    I listen to This Week in Tech which is great, occasionally Legendary Thread, an MMO and WoW podcast, and Smodcast, which is awesome.

    Games for Windows. I've never been a PC gamer, but it's a joy to listen to. It helps that they talk about random crap as often as they talk about videogames.

    1UP FM shows a lot of promise. While we're in ZD territory, GFW Radio is constantly good, even for a non-PC gamer.

    Keith and the Girl is daily but YMMV on how funny you find it.

    There's also the Best of Chris Moyles. Again, depends on how much you like him, but it's the best bits, which are usually quite good - interviews with people etc. This week's had him screaming in pain, so there's that.

    And the CAGcast.

    I'll edit this to include links later when I have time.

    The Bugle! - John Oliver (of Daily Show fame) and Andy Zaltzman report political news, discuss world events, follow the latest antics of Hugo Chavez, interview 'The American', and debate on who are the greatest 'Hotties from History'. It's utterly hilarious.

    The Weekly Geek

    CAGCast

    and One Life Left (currently between seasons)

    are all very good video game related podcasts that will usually go off on tangents.
    The Weekly Geek features a lot of geek related things, music, movies, what have you.

    CAGCast is done by a couple guys who work well together, and usually base their opinions on the expense of a title (Cheap Ass Gamers), they also talk about other things.

    One Life Left is done by a few British people, they usually add a lot to their show like music, reading of opinion pieces by their writer, and also a very cute little girl.

    I agree 100%.
    I am not a PC gamer, and it may be my favorite podcast.
