There is Industry Broadcast which describes itself as "Bringing the Collective Insight of the Gaming Industry to your ears".

Basically it features audio versions of existing online articles ... if you prefer to listen rather than read or you have time to kill on your commute then they may be of some use!

    \$\begingroup\$ I just discovered the Infinite Ammo Podcast recently, and it quickly became one of my favorites. It doesn't get too technical, but there's a lot of really meaty, honest conversations about the design process and the challenges facing smaller indie teams. Really great insight into the indie game dev community. \$\endgroup\$

Another Castle is a game design podcast that focuses on the game development scene in the New York area. Sometime the audio isn't that good (they record a lot in restaurants) but the interviewees are always interesting.

I've listened to some of the GameDevRadio ones, there are not a lot and they come rarely but they are often fun to check out.

They talk about varied topics, the ones there now are Flash (2 part), SDL, Unity, Push Button Engine for example.

The shows are roughly an hour, often more.

I find the Giant Bombcast pretty entertaining, even if it's not so much game-development as it is just gaming

Great lists here.. Glad to see www.industrybroadcast.com plugged. Back recording articles again after a nice almost year long hiatus. The podcast is certainly a bit more dry and serious as the topics covered can get insanely indepth, theoretical and technical.

Outside of my biased opinion though I have to say A Life Well Wasted tops my list, not just in this genre but of any podcast I have ever listened to.. It is absolutely and purely brilliant

IndieGames.com Podcast has a lot of good interviews with indie developers. The interviews tend to be framed from a journalist/player perspective, but there's still a lot of decent design talk.
