Casting the Pod
First things first, make sure that you take a look at Mark's earlier post on good podcasts that you should check out.
I figured add a few of my favorite podcasts to the mix too, it's only been a couple of months that I've been hooked on podcasts but these are the good ones I've managed to hunt out.
Filmspotting
Two guys in Chicago discussing films. There's a fun community aspect to this podcast. It has some of the feel as old episodes of Siskel and Ebert (did you guys get that here?) with the times they disagree being the best. They review a lot of new films and also have ongoing "marathons" based around a theme where they watch older stuff. If you're interested in film (probably if you're studying in the department, eh?) then this is a good one to help you find your all time favorite movie.

75 Minutes
One CD worth of indie music every week. Great resource for new bands and occasionally shorted segments that tell a band's story.

NPR Podcasts: All Songs Considered & Press Start
American public radio has started making many of it's segments available in podcast form.
All Songs Considered throws a wide net but catches an interesting mix of songs. Press Start is a video game centered podcast with an erratic schedule but some interesting discussions. It's interesting to see NPR and other radio stations move into offering podcasts. NZ National Radio also offers many of their programs in podcast form.
(p.s. Public Radio's This American Life is possibly the best thing about being an American, but no podcast form is available)
Positive Hip-Hop Podcast
A good swath of hip-hop usually centered around a theme. I've been searching for other good hip-hop/rap podcasts, especially something that showcases something in underground or freestyle.

There don't seem to be many Aotearoa based podcasts. Anyone know anything good?
So a few of us were talking about it and we were interested in starting up a podcast. Who might be keen on getting something set up?
UPDATE: I left a thought hanging there so I finished it. Silly me.

Thanks for these, Michael. Last time I tried NPR, I found that I had downloaded shows *about* music but which had the music itself edited out (presumably because of rights). Is that now solved? Do they play the music too? As for film podcasts, I enjoy Mark Kermode's weekly review from the BBC. He irritates at times, but won my respect when I heard him name The Piano as one of the worst films ever made!
