Do you listen to podcasts?  Are there any you'd recommend? 
Inspired by Alex.

You bet I listen to podcasts, I love them!  The majority of those I listen to are knitting podcasts, which I love to knit to.  Some of my favourites are:

Pointy Sticks
Lime and Violet
It's a Purl Man
Knitwit, Rantings of a Rabid Knitter  (great storyteller)
and of course Cast-On

I also listen to a couple crafty but non knitting podcasts. 
First of all, CraftSanity is a very well done podcast by a journalist Jennifer Ackerman-Haywood.  The format basically has the host interviewing a crafter about their art and how they became involved in it. All of the episodes I've listened to so far have been very interesting.  Several times, when I've initially seen the topic on the blog, I've thought I might not be too interested, however I always end up listening very intently until the end.  A new show comes out weekly, and I've probably been listening for two or three months now.

Another non-knitting crafty cast I really enjoy is WeaveCast.  I don't weave, but this enjoyable podcast has piqued my interest in the fibre art, and it is very conceivable that I may one day become a weaver.

Finally I listen to a a few non knitting non crafty podcasts as well.  I really like Chub Creek (great music and skits) as well as Island Podcasting, which I enjoy because it is produced closer to home, right here on Vancouver Island.  The host Ted Reiken goes on lots of "soundseeing" trips.  Of particular interest were a Lantern Festival in Victoria, and the host's vacation in Cuba (where I now want to go as a result).

Should also add that there is a fairly new Video Podcast I've been enjoying, Let's Knit2gether.  I'd be interested in recommedations of other Video Podcasts, crafty or otherwise.

Looking forward to catching up on my favourite shows this weekend!
