I generally listen to podcasts at work, lately basic brewing has been on regularly. I can burn through a few episodes per work day! Pretty into Serial and true crime. Any suggestions for other podcasts worth listening to?

If we're going for brewing related, all of the Brewing Network shows are interesting and some even have good info.
Non brewing related.
History on Fire and Hardcore History with Dan Carlin are really interesting to listen to if you like history and they try to stick to contemporary accounts of events to try and keep it legit. Always interesting stories you never learn about in history class. History on Fire is just slightly different than Dan Carlin's show, but very similar.
The Joe Rogan Experience is super interesting for a eclectic mix of discussion topics that range all over the place, and Joe Rogan is a super intense personality and he's unabashedly passionate about everything.
The Truth is a cool podcast where they do short stories with voice actors reading it, it's similar to old school radio dramas they played before TV. If you don't like short format podcast it's rough since most episodes aren't super long.
Star Talk Radio with Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a fun listen for science-y stuff. Lots of cool guests and Neil is just a cool ass dude.
Damn I listen to too many podcasts.

The Beerists.
Commerical beer review with plenty of crude, raunchy humor with lots of swearing.
They are pretty hilarious.

This is great.
Freakonomics, Stuff You Should Know.
Marc Maron's podcast is great, if you're into stand-up comedy.
If you are interested in finance, starting your own business etc Radical Personal Finance is an amazing podcast. Some of the topics can run long, but Joshua provides more detail and helpful info then any other person in the industry

4 Brewers is great, and Adam Carolla is funny. I like the Adam Carolla show a lot because there is a new one every day and they are at least an hour long.

I've enjoyed Basic Brewing Radio, Brewsmith, Experimental Brewing. James Spencer at Basic Brewing does a great job of interesting topics and keeping it clean enough to play in the car with kids. Plus there are weekly shows from the past 10 years.

I used to love SModcast
Cabin Pressure is a great BBC comedy starring Benedict Cumberbatch and a few others. Should be free to download if you can find it.
I think it's very funny. Too bad they ended the thing already. I think BC has decided to move onto projects that pay a little more (Sherlock, Star Trek, The Hobbit, etc...)

I'll add a vote to Freakonomics and This American Life. Surprised the other two I like haven't come up:
-Nerds on History
A fun presentation of subjects that didn't quite make you school books.
-Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids
The title says it all.

I don't think I've seen anyone post 99% invisible yet, slowly becoming my favorite podcast. The episodes are shorter (20-30 mins) but there are lots of them and they do ALL the commercials at the end after the show itself, which is great. They talk a lot about design and why the way things are of all sorts of things you've probably never heard of. Really good one that was only 15 mins, "worst smell in the world". If you like Stuff You Should Know, you will like 99% Invisible
Those two are in my regular rotation. Dan is the man.
I'll add Dan's Common Sense for commentary on current events. Also, if you want completely random stories that are often amazing, Snap Judgement. Each episode is comprised of 3 short true stories, usually read by their author. There's a billion episodes, so if you end up liking it you will probably never run out of content.

Started making my way through Freakonomics last week. Pretty good stuff.
Also really enjoyed The History of Rome.

I listen to the Free Beer and Hot Wings radio show every morning. They're on FM in like 40 markets, but I podcast because I hate waiting through the commercials. The show is brilliant. It's like a radio version of a mix of Tosh.0, Howard Stern, and Jackass.
Unfortunately one of the main hosts of the show was fired/quit last week, so I don't know how well the show will do as they continue forward...

Yeah, I like that too. Really interesting stuff.

It's pretty cool. A mashup of The Ring (movie) and Contact (movie) and Serial (podcast). So far. Episodes are short.
