As someone who has a 35/40 minute journey to work and back every day, the podcast is a great invention, as most are somewhere near that length and fill the journey perfectly.
Here are some that I enjoy with links (assuming I can figure out how the software does links!)
Firstly Kermode & Mayo film reviews off of BBC Radio 5 Live. They are like a married couple with their squabbling and Mark Kermode's rants are awesome. For me this is what gets me to work on a Monday morning.
Next Baker & Kelly which is a football podcast but with their own twist on the game. It's full of hilarious anecdotes and stupid games, such as relating a famous teams squad numbers to say a Chinese takeaway menu. The caller who played a game high on LSD was a worth the download on it's own.
The Word weekly podcast consists of Mark Ellen and David Hepworth (who used to present the Old Grey Whistle Test many years ago, as well as starting Q magazine) together with a guest (usually a Word staff writer) chewing the fat on the weeks music related stories, articles they are working on for the magazine or things have just got their goat that week. It has a large dose of "grumpy old men" in it, which worries me as I agree with most of it. It ends with the HORA (hoary old rock anecdote) where one of them tells a great story from their past. While the content is good the audio quality is a bit dodgy and has in the past sounded like they're in a cupboard.
Finally for this post the Stuff magazine podcast. This is all about technology and can be a bit geeky, but that probably goes with the subject matter. The sound quality and conversation can be a bit amateurish but it may just be irony!
Enjoy!
