My job has me indoors and outdoors at varying rates through the year, so when I'm inside driving the computer, I like to get down with some music and podcasts.
The music thing is covered, so I'm looking for some suggestions on the podcast front; primarily in the areas covering history, comedy and the occult. Odd mix, but there you go.
The goods as I've found so far:
1. Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History" The two series covering WW1 and the Eastern Front in WW2 are very good
2. "The Dollop" - a mix of comedy and history at the same time!
3. "Bizarre States," - covers, in their words, "spooky shit."
4. A whole slew of one-off series from the BBC and others that are generally comedy or horror or a mix of the two.
What else have you guys got?
Ummm.... the Grogcast... made right here.... O0
Heh. Pie on my face for that oversight!
Some good ones here, plus a lot more in the comments

My favourite podcast is Page 94, by the British satirical news magazine Private Eye (can't post link right now, sorry).
It obviously has a British slant, but it's extremely amusing. Basically just a bunch of satirists and investigative journalists interviewing each other and having a chuckle. It's fantastic.
For a wacky group of goons, sports, social commentary, and the quirkiness that is Tony, try the Tony Kornheiser Show.

Oh my God is this a funny one. Basically, a DJ on a smooth R&B / light jazz station and his descent to madness / irrelevance. Come for the tunes, and stay for the Laser Vandross!

Oh this is a wonderfully spooky 'cast. Straight up "Delta Green," in podcast form.
