Hey, I just got an iPod and I was wondering what folks 'round here would reccomend I subscribe to for Podcasts. I'm really looking for a good news podcast, but anything else you can reccomend would be great as well.
If the podcast you reccomend can't be found on the iTunes store, a link would be very helpful as well. Thanks!
EDIT: For the record, I have already subscribed to CNN: In case you missed it.

I don't know about serious ones, but a really good news satire one is "Distorted View".

Tony Martin's Get This.
A radio show from Australia, probably the best thing we have on radio. I listen to it constantly, it's pretty awesome. If you listen to the one called "Scodcast", you'll hear me at the end when I call in to the show.

Extra Life Radio. It's a geek/tech news podcast where they talk about movies, video games, sci-fi and all that jazz.

NPR's various programming podcasts (including Talk of the Nation & All Things Considered) are excellent. ABC News' Nightline and Jim Lehrer's NewsHour podcasts are also quite good.

I personally enjoy the Writers' Almanac podcast. All sorts of interesting facts read by Garrison Keillor. What more could you want?

NPR's "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me..."
Cause any show that has Carl Sagan as they're announcer wins.

Point of Inquiry is another good one in the same vein. Back in February, they came out with the best interview with Dawkins that I've ever heard, and that was what got me interested in it. It's got a lot of debunking of paranormal and religious claims and that sort of thing. Sam Harris and James Randi have also been interviewed on there, so they get some pretty good guests.
Edit: I almost forgot. Some atheist group in Austin, Texas has a TV show that airs every Sunday morning, and they release the audio soundtrack as a podcast. They're very logical and pretty funny. I think their podcast is called The Atheist Experience. As far as I can tell, there's not much lost to the difference between audio and video - the show sounds like it's supposed to be a radio show.
