Good Podcasts and Podcatchers?

Chimera512 asks: "I've heard quite a bit about podcasts and software for aggregating podcasts, most of the software I've tried to use have been mediocre at best. where do you find podcasts that are worth listening to? What do you use to aggregate them? Ideally something that allows me to simply copy the stream URL into the program and have it download and/or transfer the file to my MP3 player."

Then let's not forget the (supershort but funny) Onion Radio News.

When BSG's on air, Ron Moore's podcasts are also good listening.
