Hey guys, I'll be driving down from Toronto to San Jose next week and I'm prepping my podcast list for my trip. So far my list includes ECorner, This Week in Startups, The Startup Success, Mixergy, and Startup Story Radio. Would love to hear what you guys find interesting/education/enlightening. Thanks!

#2I've been enjoying the 'A minute with Brendan Eich' podcasts. They're short, insightful, and always about very recent technology topics surrounding JavaScript.

#3Mixergy.

#4This American Life; this is how an audio programme should be! (and I am not even an American :) )

#5I've having a lot of fun with WNYC's RadioLab podcast. It's more of an experience when you listen to them, you feel like you're in the world they're describing. Every episode is really well done, and the guys put a lot of effort into it.

#6The History of Rome. By far my favorite non-startup/tech podcast. I have a long held fascination with ancient Roman history, but even others who don't seem to really enjoy it.

#8Techzing hands down. 2 guys just talking about startups and trying to make it. The guest are fantastic and they always drill down into topics.

#9I definitely second The History of Rome. I haven't kept up with it lately, but I loved it when I listened to it.
My favorite programming podcast is se-radio ( http://www.se-radio.net/ ) I especially like this one for getting a general overview of a variety of coding related categories and practices. Being self-taught, it's been been an invaluable source for broadening my basic understanding of the field. The guys that run the podcast definitely strike me as being more involved in the corporate space, but the topics are relevant to just about every topic in software construction, from episodes on embedded real-time systems, an interview on the internals of the gcc compiler, clojure, and tons of others.
I listen to This American Life frequently. The stories are always fascinating and well-produced.
Stuff You Should Know has always been one of my favorites. It's like spastically browsing the internet in audio form. You learn all kinds of super-interesting things, but never really learn much about any one subject. I'd suggest this for long car-trips when you're not trying to accomplish anything, heh. Love it, though.
howstuffworks.com has a lot of interesting ones outside of Stuff You Should Know, but I'd hit that one first.
those are my favorites, off the top of my head
History of Rome, Software Engineering Radio, This American Life, Stuff You Should Know

+1 for Software Engineering Radio, I listen to it on a regular basis and like it a lot.
For other software-related podcasts, I recommend FLOSS Weekly (http://twit.tv/FLOSS). They cover interesting open source projects and interview their creators, as well as other influential people of the open source world.
