    Tell 'Em Steve-Dave!, FEAB, What Say You?, SModCast, Talk Salad and Scrambled Eggs: Frasier Revisited, The X-Files Files, James Bonding and I Was There Too are my (semi) weekly listens, along with a local one called The Cough that I highly recommend.

    I give "I Was There Too" a listen too but usually based on whether I know the actor/movie. The one with Vasquez from Aliens was good, and the Groundhog Day one.

    ABC "Conversations" always have a few interesting guests on.

    Another ABC one, "Nerdzilla" is two guys from Tasmania talking things like movies, comics, technology. Probably my favourite podcast because of the Australian perspective.

    "WTF@TFW" is always good, even if it does take me a few days to get through.

    "AstronomyCast" can hold my attention if the topic is interesting to me.

    plus a few that have already been mentioned.

    I've got a couple on my platter...

    Toy Break - A weekly discussionary Podcast/YouTube Series focusing more on the "Wonderful World of~" Indie, Art & Designer genres of toys & collecting, they also delve into action and vinyl figures.

    PreOrder 66 - "This is what happens when Demented people play with toys!" Presently on what I'd equate to a Hiatus, these guys discuss the Higher-End of Toy collecting, Movies and Alcohol (Profanity and Professionalism will be found in spades!).

    WTF@TFW - One of the longest running, if not THE longest running, Transformers-based News podcasts that's both informative and entertaining.

    H.P. Podcraft: The H.P. Lovecraft Literary Podcast - If you're a fan of one of America's seminal pioneering "Supernatural" authors, or are looking to see what the fuss is about?, these guys take an annotated look at each and every one of Howard Phillips Lovecraft's works as well as similar writer's of his time (Although these later episodes exist behind a Pay-wall).

    AFB Podcast - A great podcast comprised of Aussie & US hosts, with news & reviews ranging from the High-end to the Low-end of toy collecting.

    Moonbase 2 Podcast - An entertaining show from the UK with a Transformers focus but whom isn't afraid to deviate to non-TF topics, such as other toylines and movies, these guys also don't hold back on Adult-language so sensitive ears may wish to avoid.

    Hmm, I didn't think of that but nearly every one of the podcasts I listen to drops f-bombs and the occasional c-word although some more than others it contains adult themes.

    the below is copied from my entry in a similar thread, literally 3.5 years ago. italics is my new comments.

    ESPN: Baseball Today. (comes out 5 days a week and is generally an hour long. I listen to a couple a week) They changed the host and it's just not as much fun to listen to anymore. I stopped listening over a year ago

    Geekcast Radio: All things Transformers (lately has been a bit sporadic but I enjoy their opinions, they tend to ignore anything that's not prime related as of late. I think they might be getting a little jaded.) They got jaded, only release one or two podcasts a year now and to be honest tend to have a stick up their butt.

    Radio Free Cybertron (probably the most professional, if you want you can get it as video. Late last year they had a regular guest who had too much opinion on everything and he was rarely positive, he's not on there at the moment and the show is a lot better for it. Sometimes they can be a bit negative but overall very enjoyable and you can count on them being not much longer than an hour. These guys still do a good job with new segments on occasion and after having one of their primary staff and one of my favourite members pass away last year, they are still good to listen to. These guys I'm pretty sure are the longest running Transformers podcast in the world. .

    Seibertron.com Twincast (the place to go for quality Optimus Prime impersonations. They seem to worry too much about the franchise as though they can make a difference to it but otherwise they often have some very entertaining discussion.) Still one of my favourite transformers podcasts, it will be interesting to see if their tone changes now that they have an exclusive relationship with the official collector club.

    TFWire (used to be a great weekly podcast but stopprd at #200, the original host has done a couple solo recordings since but it's a bit dreary listening to just one voice for an hour. He still has some interesting views though. He stopped at 200 because he felt he was becoming addicted to Transformers collecting and had to go cold turkey.) I don't think I even follow this feed anymore

    Transformation Animation (a subpodcast of the Geekcast radio, they review the entire Transformers animated series 3 episodes at a time, quite entertaining. They have a special guest at the end of each episode who is watching the entire series for the first time which gives a good juxtaposition against the main cast who have seen the whole thing at least once before) finished

    WTF@TFW
    WTF@TFW Primetime These two have already been covered by husrty, they are generally pretty good though I find Vangelus to be a bit of an attention whore. they also discuss stuff to the bone which sometimes goes on a bit too far and causes their podcasts to drag out for over 2 hours most of the time. their "what we got this week" segment provides very good in depth reviews of current purchases, transformers and otherwise. )

    New stuff I'm listening to.
    Transformers Rewind: a segment from the Radio Free Cybertron Podcast that is a review of an old episode of transformers, the synopsis and subsequent discussion is quite entertaining.

    Pre-order 66. These guys probably have the most professional sound out of any of the 'non-professional' podcasts I've ever listened to. they have been on Hiatus for so long now I am going back and listening to them from episode 1 since I originally picked them up at episode 25. content already covered by Hursty.

    X-Band the phantom podcast I've only listened to a couple of these, but they are OK, it's pretty much a couple guys with occasional guest speakers. It's nice to listen to a podcast with Australian accents in it. If you like reading the Phantom comic, then this is the only podcast I've ever come across that has anything to do with it.

    Transformers For your Listening Pleasure These guys are pretty good, not super professional in polish but interesting to listen to.

    Transmissions - Everything Transformers These guys have a pretty international cast, USA, Canada and European members. These guys have a patrion thing going which is a bit of a chore to listen to when it happens.

    Audio Knights Theatre this isn't so much a podcast as a radio play, these legends are taking the script from the MTMTE comic and making a radio play out of it, so you can literally turn the comic in to a read along fun style book. I haven't listened much as you need to really sit down with the comic in your hands to appreciate it properly but I've heard great things.

    I don't like skeptics guide. I should like it, but I find that they all have their heads so far up their own arses it is just bad. I don't mind a little bit of mockery here and there, but what they do is jus go on and on and on

    Nightvale Radio sounds interesting.

    I used to listen to Jay & Silent Bob get old when Jay Mewes would talk about his various addictions & how he beat them.

    Smodcast is pretty good, but I find it boring when Scott Mosier isn't taking part.

    The best I've heard (& still listen to every week, plus I've seen it live & plan to see it again when I head back over to LA) is Hollywood Babbleon with Kev Smith & Ralph Garmin.
