The Bechdel Cast! Amazing feminist podcast that looks at popular movies under the lens of the Bechdel Test. I am actually so into this podcast that I drove two an half hours last night to see them do a live recording of their take on The Princess Diaries. And it was AMAZING.

I also like things like 99% Invisible (which is about design) and The Beerists, which is about craft beers (with really vivid descriptions of flavor, mouthfeel and booziness). Freakonomics is always really fascinating, too, and has a good backlog to work through.
