1) The first podcast I chose was save the Microbes save the world. I chose this particular podcast because the title drew me in. The podcast it about how microbial life affects the world. James Staley a professor at the University of Washington made this particular podcast.
2) Episode 53 weekley anime review "The Meloncholy of Suzumiya Haruhi aka Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu"I chose this one because I wanted to see what other people thought about one of my favorite animes. This podcast is made by Aaron from Ohio "the info on the podcast doesn't have much info on the creator.
I think that podcasts are very useful because you can listens to instead of read. Podcast don't really spark my intrests. I think its because I haven't found any intersting podcasts yet. I would like to see podcasts as being "mainstream" like youtube. I don't think that this will ever happen because seeing a video with audio is not like listening to just audio. For one, audio by itself can get very boring and it doesn't have the same impact as images do. I think that podcasting is a very useful way of communication, but as stated before it isn't as interesting as video clips sent to relatives, collegues or people with the same interests.

Great. You're right--finding interesting podcasts from reputable sources is the challenge.
You sound like you may be a more visual learner; you should check out vodcasts on itunes. Essentially it's just short video clips you can subscribe to via RSS using google reader or itunes. Try this one
