Here are some good recommendations:

Smodcast – Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier waffling on for anything up to two hours. Hilarious. Honestly, some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever heard. If you’re a fan of their films, you must listen to this. If you’re not a fan of their films, I don’t want to know you.

Transmissions From Beyond – TTA Press’s podcast. Every week, hear a story taken from one of their magazines (usually Interzone or Black Static). Normally read by the author. Good stories, but you have to put up with a fair bit of variation in the sound quality. Hopefully you’ll hear me on there some day. I’ll try and source a decent microphone for the occasion.

Co Op – Games podcast (‘vod’ cast, I suppose, since it’s actually a video show) by a bunch of ex-1Up staff. The spiritual continuation of The 1Up Show, really. I can’t say I share their opinions on all subjects, but it’s about the only games show around that looks halfway professional (and they look all-the-way professional, to give them their due).

Giant Bombcast – More games. Only audio this time, but it’s worth listening to. Jeff Gerstmann (link added because you should read about the Gamespot firing controversy) and Ryan Davis started it, and about a year ago Vinny Caravella and Brad Shoemaker (all ex-Gamespot) talk. About games, mostly, but also films and general natter.

So there you go. Listen! Enjoy!
