I listen to a few hours of podcasts each week. I love podcasts more than most other types of media. I listen while I work, while I drive, while I cook. Podcasts aren’t going anywhere, you should find some you like. Here’s some that I like.

1. MacBreak Weekly - I’m a Mac nerd, as you’ll see from later choices. When Merlin Mann is on, you can count on a few deep belly laughs. On the TWIT Network with Leo Laporte
2. This Week in Tech - Love Leo Laporte. He’s a great old skool radio guy who understands new media. The Twit Network has 3 in my top 10. 
3. Mosaic - Erwin McManus essentially has one message: God has placed infinite potential in each of us and it’s there to be utilized to advance his kingdom. Are you going to do it? He’s a great story-teller and motivating leader. I’ve actually made changes in my life by listening to Erwin. 
4. KCRW’s Left, Right and Center - I love politics, despite everything I hate about it. Left Right and Center gives a  28 minute round-up of the week’s political highlights from different perspectives. Way better than watching CNN. 
5. TEDTalks - TED is all about ideas. Inspired talks by the world’s greatest thinkers and doers.  
6. Net@Night - I’m always interested in what’s new with the web. Amber MacArthur and Leo Laporte talk about the new sites, site buzz that’s current to the web. Sometimes a bit to chatty on the personal side, but I don’t mind that either.
7. Loaded - Natalie Del Conte does a great job delivering the day’s tech news in 3-5 minutes. Her show use to be a bit more personal before she moved to CNet, but it’s still good. Search for loaded under CNet Tech Shows or Cnet Loaded in the itunes store.
8. Mac OS Ken - Ken Ray delivers the Daily Mac News with humor, wit and a genuine love of all things Apple.  
9. NPR’s Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.  - What can I say, I’m an NPR news nerd. I love this show.
10. Woodland Hills Church - Greg Boyd is still the smartest thing that can speed talk a sermon mixing hermeneutics, metaphysics, lots of fancy other words and the true passion of christ like no one else can, making sense to the doctoral student and the high school kid at the same time.

   I find The Relevant Podcast to be somewhat informative and almost always hilarious.
