Favorite podcast or app?

I'm loving my Ipod Touch.
I listen to podcasts nearly every day and have purchased a few apps to make it even better.
I subscribe to the Manager Tools/Career Tools podcasts in the business section and sometimes the Wall Street Journal 1/2 hour daily news show.
What is your favorite podcast or app?

Fitness Rocks, and almost anything on NPR. The Splendid Table is a great one.

I bought my Apple Ipod touch to listen to music in the car, I can't stand the radio stations with commercials,etc..... But I do access the net on it when in free wi-fi zones like Starbucks!!!

My favorite App id called "Accounts". I use it as a replacement for my paper check registry. Since I use my debit card so much, I update my account before I even leave the store. Its great, now I never forget to write in a transaction.

My favorite is called "Clinometer". I uses the internal accelerometer to make the iPhone into an inclinometer and a surface bubble level. It has provision for calibration and is pretty handy if you need to know tha angle of a slope or anything else.

Favorite podcast is MSNBC's Countdown, it helps pass the time on the elliptical trainer. As for app, my most helpful is WiFinder, Bank of America and AP News. The most fun is Crazy Chainsaw, it just make me laugh.

My favorite non-standard app is Sportacular. If you love sports, this is a must have app. My overall favorite app is Safari (if you consider that one).

EDIT: Here are my other helpful ones:

Bloomberg- MUCH better than the standard Stocks app. If you're a day trader, you'd be insane not to have this

eBay mobile and PayPal mobile- I love these for when I'm selling stuff on eBay

Now Playing- movie times

The Weather Channel- MUCH better than the standard Weather app

What's on TV?- great TV guide

Wikipanion- Wikipedia

Yellow Pages
