Ohh finally something for me
You are not so smart - Very nice podcast about cognitive biases, psychology and so on. (Last episode I heard was about dangers of alternative medicine)
99 Percent Invisible - About design of everything. From architecture to industrial design. (Last episode was about fire escapes and their history)
Radiolab - Quite varied but always amazingly produced stories about science (Last one was about brain stimulation using electricity)
Freakonomics - Great podcast about economics, amazing life advice. (Last one was about how to "Make you garden weed itself")
Hello Internet - Two dudes talking genre. Brady (Numberphile and more) and CGP Gray. (Last one was about flags of states of USA, ugh Maryland)
Pragmatic - Also two dudes. But on topic of engineering. (Last was about programming in military)
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History(http://www.dancarlin.com/disp.php/hh) My favorite so far was the 13 hour series on the decline of the Roman republic. The parallels with current American politics were haunting.
Of course I listen to many more non-tech related podcasts. What I noticed just now after going through my feed reader, is that I seem to be listening to about as many German ones as English ones, even though the total number of English podcasts out there should be higher.
The only reason I can think of is that (for whatever reason) German podcasters seem to concern themselves more with audio quality. For instance, I just can't listen to TWiST or the kalzumeus podcast, because the audio hurts my ears (at least with headphones on, car is a different matter). There are a bunch of English podcasts that I stopped listening to because of audio quality issues, while I can't remember a single German one for which this was the case.
Really good podcast about a wide variety of entrepreneurs (From etzy to atari, Thomas Keller, the guy who made Highline in Manhatten a reality etc) very inspiring.
Since you're an F1 fan checkout Formula1blog.com's podcast. It's often lighthearted and fun, with commentary after races dealing with practices up through the final race.
* Software Engineering Radio. This podcast has great guests and isn't afraid to cover quite technical topics. Although, I think it has a bias towards enterprise software development, which isn't one of my major interests. http://www.se-radio.net/
* BBC's Infinite Monkey Cage. Each installment of this lighthearted show is a panel discussion among various scientists and comedians about a particular topic. http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/timc
I'm always on the lookout for any good podcasts covering hard technical topics or items of interest to the HN crowd, although they seem to be hard to come by. I miss the short-lived HNpod show!
He gets a bit of (admittedly deserved) criticism on HN, but Security Now with Steve Gibson is great for anyone who is interested in security and the like.
Big favorite is Star Talk with Neil deGrasse Tyson, but for some reason of all the Podcasts I listen to the ads on that one seem to pull me out of the conversation the most.
I listen to a lot of the LessWrong works via castify (including their audio books which cover a great deal of of Yudkowsky's sequences):
http://castify.co/channels/51-less-wrong
Omega Tau -- "Science and Engineering in your headphones" -- technically oriented interviews with scientists (often physicists), engineers and technical workers by a German software engineer, in both English and German. Often leans towards aerospace due to host also being an amateur glider pilot.
Free as in Freedom (http://faif.us/) is an oggcast, hosted and presented by Bradley M. Kuhn and Karen Sandler. The discussion includes legal, policy, and many other issues in the Free, Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS) world. Occasionally, guests join Bradley and Karen to discuss various topics regarding FLOSS.
> Back to Work is an award winning talk show with Merlin
> Mann and Dan Benjamin discussing productivity,
> communication, work, barriers, constraints, tools, and
> more.
For those of you wanting to escape the tech/entrepreneurship echo chamber, why not check out the BBC's "In Our Time". Consistently high quality, diverse discussion about all sorts of subjects. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl
Rene Ritchie's vector is always a great listen. It goes beyond the usual rumors and leaks that most tech websites like engadget or gizmodo put and describes the choices of why this technology exists. http://www.imore.com/vector
Smart People Podcast is quite good - the hosts of the show are pretty bright and are great at finding interesting people to pick the minds of. http://www.smartpeoplepodcast.com/

I have been listening to twit too but the sponsorship messages are so long and irritating (and I hate the outtro) so now I'm scouring this list for a new tech podcast
I don't listen to any of them. I won't bother with ones that don't have a transcript. I can read way faster than people can talk, and I hate not being able to skip around.
for people interested on linux and opensource
check jupiterbroadcasting.
* Linux action show
* coder radio
* tech talk today
* techsnap
* Linux unplugged
* Scibyte
* bsdnow
and others.
Really check it out they are really good.
