I like them on my iphone as I can play them at double speed. I don't think it's actually double speed like it claims, more like 1.5-1.6X, but still a major time saver.

I think that's it
 
My podcast list just took a nosedive thanks to work toughening up the regime on nights. Talk about depressing. Now I have to find something else for my mind to do while my body's busy.

My favourite serious podcast is This American Life which often looks a bit boring, but rarely disappoints when you listen.

Plenty of Radio4 stuff has been mentioned already, so I won't repeat those, but I also record Pick of the Week on Sunday evenings and Loose Ends on Saturday evening on my PVR, then convert them for my phone.

For anyone with even a passing interest in the financial world (which ought to be everyone in these "interesting" times) the Planet Money podcasts are fairly short and sweet. But if you like a bit of tinfoil style reportage from the USA, the Patriot Trading guys are hard to beat... as long as Eric's there. As a one man show it's far less entertaining. Radio4's Money Box output is much more useful though. As is DH Unplugged for a conversational, US-centric overview of the week's financial markets. Andrew Horowitz does a few others shows which are useful if you're interested in trading. I haven't found an equivalent for UK trading.

Gaming-wise the Giant Bombcast is good is you need a bit of company for up to three hours, but I prefer Gamers With Jobs, though I've learned to distrust a lot of their opinions. They are a lot more easily impressed than I am. :-) Good bunch to listen to though. As are the Epic Battle Cry team. Then there's a load of console-oriented stuff on IGN if you're bored. Finally there's PCGamer for those of us who haven't got used to these new fangled console things..

Tech-wise, PC Per does a pretty nerdy 'cast which is useful, but a bit dry/technical. And Ryan Shrout sniffs a lot. I think I prefer the Tech Report stuff and Maximum PC, which can be a bit more rambling and entertaining.

The TWIT network's already been mentioned. Leo Laporte's an easy voice to listen to, but there's a lot of what I'd describe as tech gossip on his shows rather than useful information for any "average" geek. This Week in Tech is probably the only show I'll keep listening to now I'm not getting paid to listen. :-)

PCPro, obviously. And just for general gaming/tech/bitchy chat the extremely un work-friendly Widget Show is worth a listen... when they can be bothered to record a show.

For science I like Radio4's Material World and Quirks & Quarks.

Mmm... I think that's enough from me. Especially as I'm now even more depressed that the vast majority of these have got to be culled from my weekly listening. :-/

If you like them, check out the Simon Pegg and Nick Frost XFM shows (with Karl Pilkington). I might even say I enjoy them more than the RSK shows. Shame there isn't many though.

Ah, Pilkipedia doesn't link to them any more but they are out there.

Thanks, I'll check them out. It looks like they are on pilkipedia, but unfortunately a couple of them are megaupload links :(.

Also found a few shows I have never heard before from that site, like the standin for Jonathan Ross's radio show. Thanks! :)
