What are your favorite podcasts and audiobooks?

I'm going to be in the position where I will have a lot of time to sit and do nothing, and would like to get back into listening to audiobooks and podcasts.
The only podcast I'm really into currently is The Dirtbag Diaries, which is a climbing / outdoor podcast.
I loved listening to the dune audiobooks back when I was homeless, world war Z was surprisingly awesome on audiobook as well.
What do you guys all like to listen to besides music?

i like the Wheel of time audiobooks. ive read them, but now if im playing a video game or something, i'll throw on the next chapter and listening to it while i grind or whatever. really any good book you like will be enjoyable on audio, unless you really dislike the voice actor for some reason
i never really got into podcasts though

The entire dark tower series by Stephen King is great on audio book. Also under the dome by him is good as well. The audible app is great for books as you can return the book if you don't like it. Sometimes I can't stand the voice actors so I appreciate being able to return it. Most local libraries offer audio books to borrow as well.

Marc Maron's WTF podcast has some really good interviews. For example Josh Homme, Maynard Keenan, Mel Brooks. They're usually over an hour and go into a lot of depth. When I was backpacking and working on farms I'd listen to them on my ipod while gardening/weeding/shoveling goat crap etc.

Getting Doug with High is a pretty good one. I also like Joe Rogan's podcast. And the Chong and Chong show is pretty good too.

The GetDarker dubstep podcasts are my fav. Just about the only podcasts I follow too. I'm more of a discography vinyl rip kinda guy. I like to fish through the source material and pull out the gems, rather then listening to the gems others have pulled out and mixed into podcasts/mixes
