I got my first iPod about a year ago, and recently have been really getting into gaming podcasts. I currently have the following on my iPod ...
1UP - Listen Up
This is probably my second favorite general gaming podcast right now, but you know what that 90's t-shirt said : second place is the first loser.
A Life Well Wasted
This one is supposed to be the gaming version of This American Life. Some people think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread but I think it's unbearable. I made it about 40 seconds into the podcast before I shut it off.
ChaosCast
The WAR podcast recorded by the venerable Syp and friends. I've only checked them out once or twice since I quit WAR, but I don't feel too bad, as it seems like they've only recorded two or three times since then.
Downloadable Content
The Penny Arcade guys recording themselves brainstorming a strip. I listened to one cast and I was a little disenchanted. The strip they were making was funny but their pitching just seemed lame.
Giant Bombcast
If I seem bitter about all the other podcasts, it's because the Giant Bombcast is so thoroughly awesome. It's funny, the guys know their stuff, they are (relatively) classy, it's great all around. Kind of funny that I would barely know about this site if it wasn't for WAR and Carrie Gouskas mentioning Giant Bomb on her blog.
Podtoid
The Destructoid podcast. Originally this was my favorite but I've grown to loathe it. Last time I tried to listen to the podcast I only made it a little way through until one of the people on the podcast announced that they loved a game and proceded to (instead of talking about why they loved the game) ridicule people who didn't like the game. I realize that's how the internet works but it makes for a boring podcast.
Joystiq Podcast
Honestly I just started listening to this one and the 1UP podcast at the same time so I always get them mixed up. I guess I'd say this one would be tied for second.

There are a bunch of great Warhammer podcasts. I don't really have a favorite and some of these discuss more than just Warhammer during their show, but I'd encourage anyone who's interested in this time of entertainment venue to check these out.
* Chaos Cast
* CotCast
* Deadworkers (WARP)
* Giant BombCast
* GAFCast
* Stonetroll Certified
* Lagwar
* Massively Speaking
* No Prisoners, No Mercy
* Shut Up, We're Talking
* Virgin Worlds
* Warhammer Alliance
I am too dang lazy to try and link all of these so head over to www.warunderground.com and listen to them via the radio there or link directly to their site for their shows, blogs and download the shows yourself for your Ipod.
recently listed all the podcasts I listen to on Nerf the Cat...
gaming ones I love include:
Shut Up, We're Talking
Van Hemlock
PC Gamer (UK)
Rock Paper Shotgun
they all come recommended!
I tried the RPS cast before because I love the site, but (and I'm a little embarrassed to admit this) I just couldn't get past all the brit talking. It takes a tiny bit of concentration and generally I listen to podcasts when I'm not in a concentrating mood.
Those are two big lists, I'm going to check all of these podcasts out :)
Shut up We're Talking
Player One Pod Cast (Console Podcast)
channel Massive (Sometimes a hit or miss)
Witty Ranter
Gamers with Jobs
Along with a bunch of WoW casts which I won't bore you with.
Heya Boat. I listen to a couple more that haven't been listed yet.
Rebel FM is pretty good. It's made up of refugees from EGM and various 1UP shows.
Ryan Scott from CGW/GFW/EGM has a podcast on Geekbox which can be good, but can also be non-game focused. They'll cover comics, TV shows, and movies, and include some game stuff too. If you're just going for the gaming, you probably won't enjoy it.
I saw the first couple episodes of Co-op and liked it, but because it's a video format, I don't download it for my commute. It's from the guys who made the 1UP video show.
The Maximum PC podcast can be pretty entertaining. It's mostly hardware-focused, but they do talk about games on occassion. They're mostly shooter fans, I'd say.
I listen to the Digg podcast, and This Week in Tech, but they're almost all tech and very little game.
My favorite non-gaming, non-tech podcast is probably Bill Moyer's Journal.
