econtalk : http://www.econtalk.org/

1 hr interview show (usually a writer promoting recent book) by a Hayek influenced economist. Most shows relate in some way to economic issues but not much. Many are about truth, bias and knowledge in social science fields.

I recommend starting with the archives and picking out guests you know and like already.

The History of Rome Podcast: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-history-of-rome/id261... I've listened to all 112 episodes so far (and still quite a bit to go) - once this finishes I'll probably go back and listen to the "12 Byzantine Rules" again - which is also very good.

WNYC's Radiolab: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/ Absolutely brilliant in every way. Has the highest production quality of any podcast I've ever listened to. Please give it a listen as soon as you can.

I second that. One ethe best radio shows ever - an interdisciplinary popular science program produced like a radio play.

Astronomy Cast: A hard science (almost exclusively discusses accepted peer reviewed theories) podcast about cosmology. Everything from the Big Bang to Missions to Mars: http://www.astronomycast.com/

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe: A skeptical podcast by Steven Novella & co. They cover a lot of interesting topics, and some other ones that I'm not a big fan of. But overall pretty good: http://www.theskepticsguide.org/

Entrepreneurship Thought Leaders: http://ecorner.stanford.edu/podcasts.html It's an excellent podcast from Stanford. The guest speakers give a good idea of the quality of the podcast: Marc Andreessen, Steve Case, Steve Blank, Eric Ries, David Heinemeier Hansson, Mitch Kapor, etc

+1 these are excellent

EDIT: not sure why this was down voted, all I did was concur with the above statement.

I listen to them all the time.

Not just educational but also motivating.
