Mayo and Kermode Film Reviews - I love them, they're brilliant and so good with their listeners
The Tuesday Club (Alan Davies Arsenal podcast) - I don't even support Arsenal, but this is hilarious. "She was nice"
The Empire podcast - very young, and they're still finding their feet, but there's good movie banter and Helen O'Hara's accent is seriously sexy.

Filmspotting - Really in depth film podcast, good top fives and marathons. Tend to steer clear of the mainstream releases.
How Did This Get Made? - Hilarious film podcast with three comedians and a special guest talking about terrible films.
Welcome to Night Vale - Creepy and funny David Lynch style radio play.
Football Weekly - AC Jimbo is king.
Football Ramble - A really fun football podcast.

Can't pick just three, there could easily be five more here but these are ones I never miss.

These three could also be my three. I'm a big fan of all of them right down to my love of Helen O'Haras voice. I was quite happy when she replied to a tweet from me a few weeks back - yes, sad I know.

I'd probably swap in Football Weekly for The Tuesday Club, even though I'm a big Arsenal fan.

My current favourite podcasts are

This Week in Science with Dr. Kiki
Cordkillers with Tom Merritt and Brian Brushwood
Talkin' Toons with Rob Paulsen

This Week in Science is a review of the weeks science headlines, with some light hearted discussion. I've been listening to this one for five years now, very entertaining and informative.

Cordkillers grew out of the TWiT network but is no longer affiliated with them, is about getting to enjoy content conveniently, legally, and in whatever format you please.

Talkin' Toons is hosted by voice actor Rob Paulsen, better known as Pinky from Pinky & the Brain, Yakko from Animaniacs and Raphael from the 1987 Ninja Turtles cartoon. In it he interviews lots of other voice actors. Nostalgic and hilarious. When Rob Paulsen replied to me in a tweet I felt like I had just achieved all my childhood ambitions.

I love podcasts, I could quite easily give you my top 10.

Whats amazing about all of these is that they will, barring some unforeseen incident, be available forever.

I've just recently discovered Ray Foley's Nighttime Network. Only 4 episodes in with a few more to catch up on but I'm enjoying it, but I am a massive Foley fan.

From this thread, I've discovered Football Ramble.

Descent punditry & very funny guys to boot.

My own recommendation is 'Media Talk' from the Guardian.

Its a weekly 30 min look at the UK media landscape.

The Bugle
If you like your political satire then you will LOVE this podcast - involves John Oliver chatting with Andy Zaltzman about the week. They created the phrase "****eulogy" - used when a dictator dies

Harmontown
Creator of brilliant show Community, Dan Harmon joins with his friend and comedian Jeff Davies to talk shight, interview people and play Dungeons and Dragons - very funny.

You Made it Weird with Pete Holmes
When I first started listening to Pete Holmes I couldn't stand him, but he gets really good guests on for 2-3 hour unedited chats. He can be extremely narcissistic and I find myself rolling my eyes alot at him - but the podcast usually flows with persons career, persons childhood, persons love life, persons religion.
