This Week In Tech is pretty good, although it can get a bit sitcom-ish with the regulars.

CNET's daily show Buzz Out Loud. It has its funny moments, memes, a wiki and has very accurate coverage of the news. Listeners can write in or call, and you can watch live at cnet.com/live 10:30 PST. The live stream has its own IRC channel, too.

There are two core hosts (Tom Merritt and Jason Howell1), along with just about every tech editor at CNET.

1Both have now actually left; instead we have Rafe Needleman and Molly Wood! Awesome!

IMO unless you have deep interest in the subject matter being discussed, Hanselminutes is incredibly dry and hard to listen to. – Andrew Grant Jul 15 '09 at 20:07
Agree with Andrew - if the person being interviewed is good at talking about their thing, it's good; otherwise, not so much. – Shog9♦ Aug 3 '09 at 19:27

Gilmor Gang

When it's on, that is, and without it being co-hosted with Leo LaPorte. I love Leo, but Leo changes the vibe of the show.

I think of it as an alternative to TWiT. It's unfiltered, more serious, and has heavier hitters as guests in general.
