We have a "What are you listening to?" thread, but I never see much talk about podcasts. The idea behind this thread is to post what you listen to, talk about recent episodes, etc.

To start things off, here are a few I listen to:

Free Beer and Hot Wings: A great "morning drive" podcast. Low brow humor, which can be hit-or-miss.

Nerdist: I'm sure most of you have heard of Nerdist and/or Chris Hardwick at this point. Chris and pals interview various people within geek culture.

WTFPod w/ Marc Maron: Lots of self-reflection on Marc's part, and he's funny to boot. He also has a show on IFC & Netflix called "Maron."

Nerd Poker: Brian Posehn and friends play a hilarious D&D campaign. You actually need to pay attention to this one to follow along.

While I'm on the road I listen to Crit Juice on occasion. Comedians gets drunk and play D&D, which makes for laughs. I also watch The Young Turks, but they have a podcast version of the show, too. They discuss current events in US politics and national/world news and it's become my primary source of news since ditching TV altogether a few years ago. Most of my media entertainment nowadays comes in the form of YouTube channels, so my list of podcasts is pretty much gone.

Other than the ones already listed I listen to a motorcycle road racing podcast, motopod. I doubt that's interesting to most here, but if you're into racing they are a real low budget operation but they get great interviews.
