#102I'd recommend the Thomas Jefferson Hour for people interested in early US history or the enlightenment period.
http://www.jeffersonhour.org/?id=16
The podcast consists of Clay Jenkinson, a Jefferson impersonator, being interviewed and answering listener questions on various historical or modern topics. I wouldn't normally like this, but Jenkinson has accumulated a mountain of knowledge on the period, and seems to have read everything that was formative in Jefferson's intellectual development. This creates a remarkably effective illusion that Jefferson is actually speaking.
The format is two in-character sections where Jefferson answers questions, then one out-of-character section where Clay Jenkinson gives context for the answers. Occasionally Jenkinson also does an entirely out-of-character show where he talks about recent events in the news. While out-of-character, Jenkinson always maintains a clear separation between Jefferson's opinions and his own thoughts on a subject.
I don't think The Thomas Jefferson Hour is as good as Radiolab or the Philosopher's Zone, but it's still one of the best podcasts I've ever listened to.

#103I personsally like The Changelog, run by two big fans of Github and open source. They have on guests to discuss what's new and hot in the world of open source. They've talked to Doug Crockford, John Resig, and some people behind projects like NodeJS, MongoDB, etc.
Re: Ask HN: Recommend me a Podcast
#104TED Talks are wonderful
They have both audio and video podcasts available. search "TED talks" in itunes.
Re: Ask HN: Recommend me a Podcast
#105On the Media is my favorite for news. Frankly it's one of the only news programs where I feel like I've legitimately learned something about the situation after listening to it.
+1 for On the Media http://www.onthemedia.org/ in fact, I've been on a couple of times: http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2007/05/25/05 http://www.onthemedia.org/transcripts/2010/05/21/03 very intelligent hosts, covering very important issues in a deep way.
Come on, this is ridiculous. Why was this downvoted? I mean, seriously, what's so bad about the content of this comment that made it deserve at least two downvotes?
If the entire readership of HN hadn't had such an unquestionable integrity without exceptions, I might be tempted to think that it was downvoted simply out of pure childish hatred and not some real objective reason. But that would be, of course, impossible.

#106WNYC'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 love the stories they tell, but I can't listen to it. They're constantly interrupting the flow of the podcast with sound effects and pointless frills. I also can't stand how they often talk over interviewees.
It was much worse in the earlier podcasts, the new ones are pretty solid. Don't download the big torrent you can find on Isohunt but download the latest ~20 podcasts. I found the effects irritating too at first but now I kinda like them.
Re: Ask HN: Recommend me a Podcast
#107A few podcasts I enjoy: The Guardian's Media Talk podcast is normally very good: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/series/mediatalk Robots, News and Views on robotics: http://www.robotspodcast.com Skeptics' Guide to the Universe: http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ Radiolab: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/ Techzing: Startup and tech talk: http://techzinglive.com/ Mixergy: Startup interviews: http://mixergy.com/ Floss…
+ For the skeptics guide. It's very interesting and fun.

#108What are your interests? Are you looking for podcasts specifically related to the topics discussed on Hacker News?
All the Hacker News related ones I currently listen to and know about have been listed, so there is no need to repeat those.
So, I'll list the ones based on my other interests that I enjoy:
1. The Dan Patrick Show
iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dan-patrick-show-podc...
I do not enjoy sports much, I can't sit through a game of any professional or college sporting event, even going to the actual game bores me to tears. However, this show is fun, daily, keeps me up to date. It's a good listen at night while working on my next big thing or preparing for the next day. I am able to competently converse with the many sports fans at the office, at the gym, coffee shop, etc. Note: I lied, I care about 2 sports team: Minnesota Twins and Vikings.
2. Weekend Confirmed
iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/weekend-confirmed-the-vid...
I enjoy video games, mostly older stuff, but I like to think I keep up to date on the current market. This is typically 2 hour very professionally well done weekly podcast. Show host is Garnett Lee of former EGM / 1Up fame. He does an awesome job. Two thumbs way up. I look forward to this every week.
3. A Life Well Wasted
iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-life-well-wasted/id3036...
It's retired now, but everyone who enjoys video games even a little needs to listen to these (except for the last episode; don't bother). Truly epic and well researched and produced.
Honerable mentions or already mentioned previously: Retronauts, Twit, NPR Planet Money, This week in Startups, MDN (Mac Developer Network), Engadget, Joystiq
Re: Ask HN: Recommend me a Podcast
#109http://webpulp.tv/ is very nice, and should be interesting ton HNers because it interviews with startups and webapps on what technologies they use, why, and how they run their systems.
Re: Ask HN: Recommend me a Podcast
#110Obviously depends on your interests.
I do a video & podcast every week that covers startup lessons, venture capital advice and deals funded for the week. It's called This Week in Venture Capital. http://thisweekin.com/thisweekin-venture-capital/ (there are links to there to the free iTunes download.
Also, This Week in Startups is great because it profiles startup CEOs and talks about the week's news. Hosted by Jason Calacanis and is here: http://thisweekin.com/thisweekin-startups/
Other recommendations: www.mixergy.com - Andrew Warner is great and profiles successful founders.
And I live TED talks.
