Best skeptical podcasts

I wonder if anyone else here listens to podcasts? I find them to be a great motivator to actually get some exercise, by taking long walks while listening to interesting discussions and interviews on my mp3 player.

I thought that this group might share some of my interests, so if you've got any podcasts worth pointing out with a skeptical/godless side to them, here's a thread to let others know.

Here's my top 5, in order of preference:

Skeptoid - a GREAT podcast by Brian Dunning, where he covers various supernatural/pseudoscientific/otherwise interesting subjects with a critical eye. The episodes are really thoroughly researched, and of high quality. Highly recommended.

Skeptic's Guide to the Universe - A Group of skeptics producing an interesting show that often has an interview with someone interesting, a section where they analyze recent news items; usually with a science angle in them, and some other stuff too. They also produce a shorter "The Sceptic's Guide 5X5" podcast, where the shows are 5 minutes long.

Reasonable Doubts - A Group of skeptics from Grand Rapids, MI, make this very well produced show where they take a thoughtful, critical look into various phenomena surrounding religion. Occasionally they have interviews. This podcast deserves more attention!

Quackcast - Evidence based ridicule of SCAMS (Supplements, Complementary and Alternative Medicine), by Dr. Mark A. Crislip. Great information and analysis on various popular health-claims, delivered with a self-(and others)deprecating sense of humour.

Atheist Experience - a call-in show from Austin, Texas, where the hosts discuss various issues around atheism and theism and religion, taking in callers of various religious/atheistic persuasions, with various ideas, of very varying quality. Sometimes funny, sometimes frustrating (when you'd just want to butt in and have your say), well worth a listen.

So anybody else have good shows in mind, not mentioned here?

The same group that does The Atheist Experience Video Podcast also has a much better audio show called The Non-Prophets which is geared toward a more godless audience.  It's normally biweekly but Matt has been busy lately so it's been more like monthly but it's very good.

Ah - I've heard the non-prophets mentioned in the show but somehow it hasn't registered. Undecided Have to check it out, thanks.

"Point of Inquiry" is quite good.

Podcasts, mp3 player......? I'm a lost soul, traveling at 78 rpm in an ipod world. But I can't say I mind. I'm in no rush, and even at my speed, there's still a great deal out there to listen to and appreciate and by which to be elucidated.

Skepchick's Rebecca Watson, isn't she - the one on the Skeptic's Guide? Might have to give her podcast a try, thanks.

And Anda - podcast = radio-show, recorded and put on the internet for people to download and listen on their mp3 players, OR to listen online. There are some wonderful podcasts out there. Cool
