Many of my favorite tech podcasts seem to be vanishing. What are your favorites and why?

To start, one I try not to miss is FLOSS Weekly, which always brings in some interesting free/open source project. There is also the NPR Hourly News Summary and the WSJ Tech News Briefing (which are fairly short), Steve Blank's Customer Development for Startups (always valuable lessons) and Grady Booch's On Computing (always deep).
Philosophy Walks - light-hearted but clever and intelligent intros to philsophers

Great Lives - 20 minute biographies of famous dead people

My regulars:

- Forever Jobless

- Mad Marketing with Marcus Sheridan

- Smart Passive Income with Pat Flynn

- Empire Flippers

- The Nathan Berry Show

- Kalzemus Podcast (like twice a year there is a new ep.)

Those are the ones I haven't got tired of yet.

I used to like Startups For The Rest Of Us and The Foolish Adventure, but I sort of grew out of both of those as they got repetitive or I started to dislike the hosts (familiarity breeds contempt).

Thanks for the Empire Flippers shout, Brian. Glad to hear you dig the show.
My three favourite podcasts are:

* Startups for the rest of us

* Bootstrapped with kids

* Freakonomics

* stuff you should know * the daily show podcast * product people
If you're into comedy, I'd recommend Joe Rogan Experience (sometime's gets tech guys), Fighter and the Kid, Monday Morning Podcast with Bill Burr, WTF with Mark Maron.

I find a good laugh important after a long day at work!

I second JRE, great podcast and guests. Some of the guests on JRE have their own great podcasts. My preferences are:

- Duncan Trussell Family hour : duncantrussell.com

- Chris Ryan - Tangentially speaking : chrisryanphd.com

- Psychedelic Salon By Lorenzo

if you haven't checked out the fighter and the kid, you should. Brenden Schaub (UFC heavyweight) and Bryan Callen. Hilarious
* stuff you should know * the daily show podcast * product people * the changelog
Some I listen to regularly: 99 percent invisible, planet money, radiolab, the occasional Nerdist podcast, this american life, Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, Dirtbag Diaries
Love Dirtbag Diaries, just wish they'd post more often, or on a regular schedule of some kind. Very high quality, interesting content when they do though.
I'm a big podcast fan. Here are my favorite tech podcasts:

* ATP: http://atp.fm

* Giant Robots: http://podcasts.thoughtbot.com/giantrobots

* The Changelog: http://thechangelog.com (disclaimer: co-host)

* Ruby Rogues: http://rubyrogues.com

* Debug: http://www.imore.com/debug

Non-tech but also lovely:

* We Have Concerns: http://wehaveconcerns.com

* The New Disruptors: http://newdisrupt.org

* The Incomparable: http://www.theincomparable.com

* IRL Talk: http://www.irltalk.com

What is "We Have Concerns" about, I can't find an About page anywhere on their site. Looks interesting though!
