Survival/Apocalypse sounds good to me! I could get into some walking dead story time...

WTF
Comedy Bang Bang
Jon Daly's Rafflecast is a new favorite. I wish there were more of them.
Radiolab
This American Life
I used to love JRE but i grow tired of it.
Mike and Tom eat snacks ("Our viewers, and i know they're not viewers")

Yeah, Greg Proops' Vodkast is amazing.

I've been a big fan of The Jimmy Dore Show for awhile.
jimmydorecomedy.com

My favorite political podcast is The Professional Left.

I enjoy Ari's Skeptic Tank, and the JeffRubinJeffRubin show.

Real Time with Bill Maher
Beauty and Da beast (Joey Diaz & felicia Michaels)

Adam Corrolla's podcast is really popular though I haven't given it a try. Is it worth it?

-Me1 vs Me2 (it'll take courage to make it to the end...not for faint of mind, or for those in a rush)
-Psychedelic Salon (go to http://feeds.feedburner.com/matrixmasters/iGAG lots of McKenna, Bruce Damer: check him out if you've never heard of him...the host Lorenzo is a badass 60's revolutionary, so he obviously supports and updates OWS news, and represents the counterculture)
-This American Life (I second that)
-SALT(Seminars About Long-term Thinking)
-Point of Inquiry (the Christian bashing is tiresome, but somebody's gotta do it... they cover other topics, but it's all done in a pointed fashion)
-Big Ideas (great for the Chomsky alone)
-Red List Radio (you could say this is amateurish, maybe, but they're just calling it like they see it, and it's all fucked!)

man, i've had a bone to pick with Corolla, but it wouldn't do any good, so i just kinda stopped listening...will check out if i see an interesting guest. he's made it no secret he's a born and raised atheist, and that's cool and all, and he's also not made a secret that he had to come up through a lot, and that's cool and all too, but i think the ACE man is the face of a lot of what's wrong with the world. popular segments include "what can't adam complain about" and your first answer should be, "no shit".

what fox news is to ignorant racists, adam is the sportscenter. that is to say, all he does is shit on everything, and that's cool and all, but you need to be responsible for spreading so much negative energy. i know you could say "well people know i'm joking" but it's just like comedy should only be left in the hands of people who know how to use it. adam spews negative energy and i'd be willing to bet at least one or two vinegar brains out there have taken their cues from adam and felt proud to be ignorant and proud to be hateful and never admit you might be wrong, and oh yeah society really might be fucked but it's not my problem so fuck 'em, i'm going to get mine. (possibly not the attitude we need now and going forward?)

should you listen? consider what i've tried to lay out, give it a shot, try to improve yourself based on how ignorant of a dick he is... and don't be that guy! (and the commercials, for me, detract, but it's part of the game, so... it's your world. i bet you could find more positive and insightful things to fill your head).

@Amanda_Hugginkiss

If you want a good cry at work, listen to the latest episode of Beauty and Da Beast-"I Won't Even Pace Myself" no. 83

You Made It Weird is great. Pete Holmes is just a positive person that's just bursting at the seams with wonder. Lots of fun conversations.

If you like videogames, The Indoor Kids is great. They go in all kinds of directions, it's Kumail Nanjiani and his wife Emily V. Gordon interviewing a guest, usually with a topic in mind, like sexism in videogames, and they'll go off topic and come back, and it's good, funny, interesting stuff.

WTF With Marc Maron, is usually great. It does depend on the guest, but results of his interviews sometimes are so drastically different it's pretty interesting to see which guests were more willing to get into things, or just keep Marc at arms length. Marc has a great interview style. I dig it.

You Had To Be There is the only podcast I know (or that I've listened to, yet) that has two female cohosts. And these two are hilarious and have great, great comedy chemistry. Nikki Glaser and Sara Schaefer, two comedians who started the podcast shortly after meeting, you can hear their friendship on air. It's palpable and joyous. They interview a guest, and sometimes have a musical guest. They have a small group of people over to Sara's apartment to watch them. It's seems like a punk rock talk show. Very intimate, and hilarious.

Walking The Room with Dave Anthony and Greg Behrendt. They're also having their friendship via podcast. They're two comedians feeling out what they view as their failed careers, wallowing in sadness, telling great stories, and saying disturbing shit to one another and to everyone listening. They have a great dynamic, this is great comedy chemistry as well, this is like the blue meth in breaking bad kind of chemistry, but for comedy. So goo(d).

I don't believe 99% invisible was talked about yet, but its fantastic. The host Roman Mars has the voice of an angel. He discusses the architecture of the world and gives you insight into things you may have never even given a second thought to.

Doug Loves Movies if you're into silly games and movies. Doug Benson is the host, and I'm sure you all know him :D Great guests and you learn little tidbits about movies while laughing all the way!

Punch Drunk Ari Shaffir, Sam Tripolli, and Jayson Thibault; three hilarious comedians talk sports.

I probably have a few more ill add later, but there are some great podcasts listed in all previous posts :D

The Big 3 podcast is the one that makes me laugh the most. You have to watch the movie Windy City Heat to get in on the joke, but once you do it's absolute genius.

Pragmagic, I second the Psychedelic Salon.

Lorenzo has been one of the hardest working podcasters around. I especially like the fact that he has an ongoing relationship with Bruce Damer who continues to push forward the integration between man and machine thru virtual networked ecosystems.

I can't express how lucky my generation is to have ongoing archivists like Lorenzo working to preserve and spread the Bard.

Psychedelic Salon is a treasure to behold.

@kulashaker I love The Mental Illness Happy Hour. Did you suggest that in another thread? If you did thank you! I support someone with severe bipolar/anxiety/agoraphobia and I find that podcast to be very supportive and it's the kind of advocacy that people who face mental illness need. And it's funny and interesting, not boring and clinical.

@DrunkenAdama I need to check out Jon Daly's podcast. I first heard of him on whatever comedy bang bang used to be called...when he did Bill Cosby Bukowski's Jelloems and that was hilarious.

I also recommend:

The Long Shot
Grandma's Virginity
Risk (if you listen to the "New at This" episode Kevin Allison advertises my art!).
The Dork Forest
The Smartest Man on Earth

Jim jefferies and Eddie Ifft TalkS hit
JRE
Beauty and Da Beast

No Buglers here?!

Check it: "The Bugle" with hosts John Oliver and Andy Zaltzman. Weekly news round-up/aghast party/piss-take. Oliver is fucking cool as shit. These guys go together like weed and sealab.

This is top 3 stuff for me.

Dan Carlin + Mysterious Universe

JRE
Smodcast
You made it weird
Brode and Esther

I like Adam Corolla, and used to listen to him every day. However, his blatant contempt for the poor left me unable to download his podcast with a clear conscience.

He's turned into the blowhard that he always made fun of.
