Not just sports related, but any podcast? There are lots out there and it's hard to have the patience to sort through them. What's you're favorite and why?

I don't really have one, but for spiritual inspiration, I've just staretd listening to one that a friend does called Universal Call...(www.universalcall.org) ...interviews with individuals on living out the "universal call to holiness on a daily basis". I'm not catholic, but the concent of everyday living according to your faith is interesting to me. Check out the Mother Antonia interview, a nun working in a prison in Tiajuana Mexico.

What are yours?

Yes, I reread the post...there are a handful there, but not a lot. (I wasn't the original poster, BTW)

I'm looking for any podcast that's informative, interesting, funny, not annoying, relatively well produced, etc, etc.

Basically, I want to sort through the hundreds (?thousands) out there without wasting time. A friend of mine and I trade favorites such as:

5 minutes with Wichita
Cinecast
Diggnation
This week in tech

I tried listening to the Motley fool, but the outbursts and changes in volume were to much to handle with ear buds in, so although I'm curios to listen to 20 minutes about upcoming stocks, that podcast is out.

I also tried listening to a Steeler's weekly podcast (who couldn't love that???) But it was just 2 guys arguing poorly about game play and strategy "mistakes", and I ended up not even listening to all of the first episdoe.

5 minutes with wichita on the other hand, is super funny, well produced, short (good for short attention span people like me!) and great if you like bluegrass (I do).

So, anything that anyone thinks is worth the time it takes do download & upload to my ipod. It's a cool toy and I'm interested in listening to stuff I wouldn't normally do...but don't want to waste my time trying to find it.
