I asked the collective this very question a couple of years ago, and got some great ideas. I'm moving to France soon and, as part of the life changes I'm making, I want to cut down on TV. So what are you subscribed to?

Also Joe rogan has some brilliant guests and scroobius pip

I like the ones with Hugh Graham best.
A load of different relay.fm stuff
ATP
Hello Internet
The Flophouse
Those last two are brilliant. Start with the old episodes. Though not too old for the flophouse as took them a while to get their stride. NSFW (or wear headphones).
Startup podcast - it's a bit sporadic but very good. One of the reporters from This American Life podcasts his experience setting up a podcasting company including pitching for funding, choosing a business partner and lots of other stuff.
Reply All - a podcast about things you find on the internet and internet cultue.
Sometimes gets surprisingly deep.
Snap Judgement - a bit like This American Life. I find the presenter a bit annoying so if you do too try to get past that. They have some amazing stories... the film-maker who was very nearly involved in the Simon Mann plot to stage a coup in Guinea, a diver who lost his friend diving in one of the deepest underground lakes in the work in South Africa plus lots of others
Econtalk - started off about economics but no covers a wider range of things. Very wonky but if you're into that also good
Conversations with Richard Fidler - some good interviews
BBC Scotland outdoors podcast is interesting and often touches on mtb-related issues such as open access.
Also BBC file on four, costing the earth, analysis, all in the mind, the bottom line.
I listen to a lot of podcasts these days - many of those mentioned above.
One that's not been listed is Stuart Goldsmith's The Comedians Comedian.
