Podcasts are good for your health :)
I've started listening to podcasts about 3 weeks ago. The first didn't impress me at all, but I've searched better content and I've found some interesting podcasts. Here's a list of what I'm currently watching:
People asked about these podcasts: what are these podcasts? what you can do with them? how you can play them? are they any good?
In my opinion, podcasts resemble with radio shows, only they are posted as an mp3s. A lot like radio on demand. These podcasts are created and then submitted by the author to a podcast directory. Here they became available as episodes, for everyone to download them.
The big difference to radio is that once downloaded, an episode can be listened whenever you want, wherever you want, you can skip through the show and usually there are no ads and no fees whatsoever.
Every podcast has a description, as well as every podcast episode has it's own description. You can "subscribe" to a podcast and the episodes will be automatically downloaded as soon as a new file becomes available on the server. After you've downloaded it, you can listen to it on a computer, you can upload it on your portable mp3 player or you can burn it on a CD and listen to it while you're driving.
Cool huh?

The Bitterest Pill : comedy : 
Dan Klass = A professional actor, did a little bit of stand-up comedy and now it's staying home watching his kids, and from time to time takes an audition. Sometimes his 6 year old son, Hudson, comes into show... A podcast about family, life, TV shows casts, etc. -

Leo Laporte (and the TWiT army: Patrick Norton, John C. Dvorak, David Prager, Kevin Rose, etc.) = Fun discutions about technology and this week's tech news - Diggnation : technology, science, beer, fun stuff : Jay Adelson & Kevin Rose = These two guys launched themselves with "The Broken", nice mini hacking shows, then Kevin worked for Tech TV and for G4TV. Now they launched Revision3 and Digg. All the subjects come from Digg.com, and they're proposed by the readers.
