What podcasts are the bioinformaticians here listening to that tie in with their work?
The most relevant podcast that I know of (the currently even more irregular than normal) Coast to Coast Bio Podcast is still in my list of podcasts.
For programming related topics I still find the StackOverflow podcast an interesting and engaging listen.
Whilst at one point or another I subscribed to both Nature and Science podcasts for general science I no longer do so.
What podcasts might I be missing out on that other people are enjoying related to their work?

It's not bioinformatic-specific, but [?]RadioLab[?] is a great science show. I especially like listening on days when I'm frustrated with my work - it helps me remember why I have a passion for science.
I love RadioLab too.
I like The Changelog. It highlights interesting and useful open source software with a slight ruby slant.
So up-vote me! ;)
Related, but not bioinformatics, BBC podcasts:
- Material World - popsci http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/material/
- More or Less - statistics etc. http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/moreorless
Both have very good presenters, and make for an entertaining listen.
I enjoy Futures in Biotech, which is about life science in general but does touch on bioinformatics sometimes.
EDIT 2012-03-06: I have now started to follow Mendelspod, which is almost shockingly good (especially if you are interested in sequencing), with recent shows about companies like DNANexus, nuMedii and Ingenuity.
Today, nodalpoint was rebooted as a podcast: http://nodalpoint.org/
That is a great question. I am not aware of any podcast or vodcast(video) that specifically cover bioinformatics topics so far. But there are other services that provide bioinformatics content in a audio-visual form:

I should also add that things like the MIT Courseware sites are excellent and similar resources: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/index.htm
From the same people as Futures in Biotech: Floss weekly. About free & open software, they had an episode on Bioperl a while ago.
For general science podcasts, I'd recommend Quirks and Quarks from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/
I know this is a super old question, but I recently came across the The Bioinformatics Chat podcast and wanted to add it for consideration.
I like Not So Standard Deviations

We should be back next week and given our absence from the airwaves lots to cover and some interviews lined up
@mndoci - This is excellent news!
Deepak - that is good news, I think you should know the podcast is quite sorely missed between episodes!
If there's such a concept here as Stack Overflow, this should probably be community wiki; helpful links should be curated and compiled in the question.
Good observation, I turned the question into a community wiki
