I download James Richardson's one off the Guardian website and am just listening to Noel Gallagher and Russell Brand's new talksport one this morning, both are very good, Richardson's one in particular and I'd recommend both.

Anyone else care to share some good ones?

Mark Kermode's film reviews with Simon Mayo is great entertainment , I didn't really like him before it but I've really warmed to him now , Usually comes out for download on a Friday evening

Richard Gervais' is very good and Mark Kermode's film reviews are usually of a high standard.

Jonathan Ross

Adam Carolla is a US comedian/former DJ who know only does his stuff on podcast. Updates every day (on Mon-Fri anyway) with a different guest each day. Sometimes starts ranting about right wing ****e but mostly just talks about movies and sports and is pretty funny

http://carollaradio.com/ (also available via itunes)

I also download the BS report from ESPN (or itunes). bill Simmons giving his take on sports on other thigns. definitely doesn't tow the party line and the only US sports broadcastor that isn't afraid to criticise someone. You'll need to be into US sports.

ESPN have pretty much all their "talk" shows on itunes too

Agreed ... absolutely top notch! Also loads of old 8 out of 10 cats episodes available as podcasts, well worth a listen ...

Currently in my list:
Football Weekly with James Richardson
Friday Night Comedy from the BBC
Adam and Joe (excellent podcast - consistently brilliant and hilarious)
Collings and Herrin (unbelievably close to the bone comedy at times - took a while to get into it, but it's an essential)
Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show (for the Gift Grub stuff)
I also get the Ray Foley one but only when my mate does the movie reviews.

Oh and for general radio comedy, check out the torrents on UKNova.com and TheBox.bz.

Some great full series - really recommend The Unbelievable Truth, any Armando Iannucci stuff (Charm Offensive is great), if you can find it On The Hour (Chris Morris, forerunner to Brasseye and the Day Today), Blue Jam (Morris again) and People Like Us (by Chris Langham, before, you know, he was a paedo and that).

One that hasn't been mentioned yet that I quite enjoy is the non-league football show from the BBC.

Bump!

Looking for some ideas, anything new anyone?

While I like James Richardson's Guardian one, I never seem to listen to it on the day it's out, it might be a few days later, by which time it's out of date. Kermode's is essential listening for me though.

BBC'S World football phone in with Doton Adebayo , Tim Vickery , Andy Brassill and Sean Wheelock is always excellent and informative

Hasn't come out in a few weeks though.

Seconded. Quality stuff.

Great thread by the way. As Sunny said I don't listen to music when I run. I often run with podcasts. I'm fascinated by history and in particular communism, not as a sympathiser but in terms of what life was like under communism, and so if you go to BBC World Service and Podcasts there is a world of wonderful podcasts in there. Incredibly educational and incredible stories. There's a series of 3 podcasts on 'The day the wall went up' for example. One that really captured me was the 'people smugglers of North Korea'. There's something there for everyone.

I don't mind 'Fighting Talk'. As I live over here I prefer Colin Murray's fast talking, quick witted friday night programme. Its on at 7 on BBC Five Live and its Colin Murray, Perry Groves and Pat Nevin. A trio I've grown to really like and it previews the weekends sport. I'm sure its podcasted too. Its out of season now of course.

Having left Ireland I follow Irish news much more closely so i tune in but don't really find the time for podcasts. Thanks to foot.ie I was reminded of a few on RTE which I quite enjoyed.
