Podcasts are pretty great, guys.
Whether you listen to them while surfing the internet, or on a bus ride, or on the drive home, listening to a bunch of people talk about funny/interesting things is one of my favorite ways to pass the time.
Here are some good ones!

Comedy Bang Bang!
Comedy Bang Bang is a weekly show hosted by Scott "The Choctaw" Aukerman, a former writer for Mr. Show, Moral Orel and co-creator of Between Two Ferns, CBB is a show about comedy, by comedians. The typical format has Aukerman, a celebrity guest and another celebrity doing a ridiculous character leading to constant improv bits. Recurring characters include the psychic Cake Boss, Bill Carter: Trainer to the Stars; Seeking Stars and Jesse "The Mind" Ventura.
Good episodes to start with:
The 2012 Holiday Spectacular!
Out of Bleeps, with Amy Poelher and Jason Mantzoukas.
New No-Nos with THE WOMP and Paul Rust.
The Anniversary Party, with EVERYONE.
Time Bobby, with Lord Dame Andrew Lloyd Webber and a wretched street urchin.
There are almost 200 episodes at this point, and a ton of them are really great so if you see someone you like take a listen!
There is also a TV show but it is somewhat hit or miss.

My Brother, My Brother and Me!
Another weekly show, starring brothers Justin, Travis and Lil' Griffin McElroy. It is an advice show for the modern era, with the brothers three taking questions from Twitter, Yahoo Answers and other horrible places and giving some heartfelt "advice".
Good episodes to start with:
Blast My Cache, wherein the Brothers tackle the countless questions involving GHOSTS.
Drop The Beat, Francis wherein the Brothers address the grim future of Dubstep.
The Garfield Monstrosity, wherein the Brothers create the worst thing in the world ever good god.
I Hate You, Ron, wherein the brothers hate Ron. What an asshole.
Fresh Out of Aardvarks, wherein the brothers open a somewhat flawed business.
There is also the Giant Bombcast, which is probably the best video game podcast on the internet, but we have a whole thread for those jerks.

The Flop House, a podcast that appears every two weeks where your hosts, Daily Show writers Dan McCoy, Elliot Kalan, and local ragamuffin Stuart Wellington recap and then discuss a modern bad movie. Is it a good-bad movie, a bad-bad movie, or a movie they kinda liked? It will take a while before you reach that point, because they will most assuredly get sidetracked by a word that sounds like another word, or an appearance by the elusive Flop House Housecat.
