Nothing ground breaking here but here goes:
My new favorite is "Nobody Likes Onions", it's edgy to the point of pissing a lot of people off, but I think it's funny.
I also listen to the big ones:
"The Dawn and Drew Show"
"Daily Source Code"
"This Week In Tech (TWIT)"
"Distored View Daily" (another offensive but funny podcast)
"Science @ Nasa Podcast"
"Revision 3 / Diggnation" (Which overlaps with the stuff on TWIT often)
I don't watch any video podcasts, since I just listen to podcasts on my nano while at work or while working around the house or on my car. I'm not much for sitting in one place for long.
You love the shock jocks, huh Ronnie?
Jonathan Coulton's Popular Science podcast is hillarious and fascinating. Kexp's Song of the Day is good too.
I've got a whole bunch for you. Garrison Keillor's Writer's Almanac is a amazing, but not terribly engaging. Ropeadope does a great music podcast about once a month which is usually very good, so does Stones Throw. The Onion Radio has a daily one of about one minute headlines and they also have the weekly radio address on that too. The Show with ZeFrank is a really great video podcast. Hope is Emo and Ask a Ninja are nice little video podcasts. My favorite is Buzz Out Loud from CNet, daily tech stuff which is always great.
The Best Show on WFMU podcast. Subscribe or it's gone.
The Ricky Gervais Show.
No Wave Oboe.
And AST now I'm getting into AST radio.
A lot of people have been talking about Ze Frank lately... I watched one, and it was a bit, uhm... unpleasant to watch? Is that just my reaction to the video-podcastyness of it?
what's no wave oboe?
Never Not Funny
AST Radio
Popsci Podcast
Zefrank(The style is a little jarring, but he's worth another shot because he is a very funny dude.)
Diggnation
Paul Goebel Show
Guys with feelings
KCRW's Left, Right, and Center
Pardon the Interuption
I want to hear some descriptions and rationale for these choices!
rationale for the more obscure ones only
for political content:
slate gabfest, left right and center, meet the press, on the media, and barack obama's podcast
musically:
sound opinions, stones throw
mad decent radio-diplo's podcast. a not very regularly produced 15 minute podcast by some of the best djs in the world.
others:
salon.com conversations, tim and eric podcast, tsoya, never not funny and ast radio.
I'm sure there are others, but the only ones I listen to every episode are on the media, nnf and tsoya.
Tables Turned records a lot of live music, and they also post the feed of a pirate radio station.
For music:
Coverville: All covers, all awesome. The host is very knowledgeable & cool.
CBC Radio 3: 1 hour of great new music from independent Canadian artists. Interesting even if you aren't Canadian. Also plays stuff besides indie rock, like rap, electronica, etc.
Nardwuar Goes Podcasting: the Nardwuar guy I talked about before. Funny, awesome, very New Sincerity. Great interviews with people like Nina Hagen, Mudhoney,Franz Ferdinand, lots of people. You'd be suprised how bands you thought were lame come off as really cool and funny in interviews.
Rocketboom, TSOYA + College Years, 'course.
And some gaming podcasts, but I doubt you'd be interested, Jesse.
No Wave Oboe is my friend's podcast.

Lots of good podcasts above--I'll only add new ones here:

SciFiChannel- Battlestar Galactica Podcast
Top Of The Pods - Random funny stuff from UK
Security Now - for TWIT fans
The Future is Yesterday - Wiretap scraped and converted as a podcast. :)
Travel with Rick Steves - Yeah, I know, he's the Mr. Rogers of Travel. I have wanderlust, what can I say.
Kuow's The Works
KCRW's Le Show
Open Source with Chris Lydon
WBUR's OnPoint
Jon (Udell)'s Radio. VERY smart technology / IT stuff
BBC's From our own Correspondent
Too Many IT Conversations podcasts to be listed here
BBC's In our Time. AWESOME
CBC's Words at Large
-pbk
KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic
KCRW's On the Beat
KCRW'S The Business (you must listen to this great show if you don't already)
KEXP Live Performances
NPR: Driveway Moments
NPR: Pop Culture
NPR: Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
NYT: Only in New York
On The Media from NPR/WNYC (another fantastic show to listen to)
Word Balloon has nice in-depth interviews with comic book creators that go beyond just what new book the person may have at the time.
Never Not Funny is great because it sounds like a bunch of pals hanging out and having fun but you're in on it and not just listening to strangers giggle.
I love AST's podcast because, like Word Balloon, the interviews are very smart and revealing.
Well NLO and Distorted View are the only ones that are shock-jock ish, and I just started listening to the both of them.
I forgot about Ask A Ninja, so I guess I do watch one video podcast. And if anyone says "vlog" I'll rape their grandmother.
I also forgot I get Wait Wait Don't Tell me on my TiVo and I subscribe to the BBC news brief too.
Left, Right and Center is great for politics. On the Media is a wonderful look at current events and pop culture through the eyes of media criticism. As a topic that no one has covered, how about the CoasterBuzz Podcast which covers theme parks and the amusement industry. These guys are super passionate about the topic and cover it more seriously and with more depth than you will see from any traditional newsource.
