Okay, while a bit flakey when it comes to talking about observational astronomy, Astronomy Cast has been my favoured astro podcast up to this point howwever, new episodes over the last 12 months have become so irregular I'm looking for alternative podcasts to subscibe to.

I have listened to Starstuff on and off but it doesn't quite hit the spot..

So, what are people listening to astronomy-wise or even general science-wise?

Similar to JJJ with the addition of:

Big Picture Science (SETI)
The Jodcast (Jodrell Bank)
Naked Astronomy (from the Naked Scientists) - Monthly but is enhanced with piccies :)

Planetary Radio (Planetary Society)
The Science Show
Radiolab (WNYC)

The latter covers a lot of stuff, not necessarily astronomy. Love its format and perspective on a range of issues.

also

Star Stuff
Jodcast
Big Picture Science


Used to listen to a few others, but found them a bit tiresome.

For comedy I listen to Friday Night Comedy (BBC Radio 4, usually News Quiz, or the Now Show)

Skeptically speaking
Skepticality
Point of inquiry
Geologic podcast
Cognitive dissonance
All very good

Also havn't really seen Astronomy FM being mentioned but I highly recommend it 24 hour radio station that has plenty of science and Astronomy content, I listen to it through tunein radio app.
