There is a lot out there for both teachers and students. I immediately subscribed to Grammar Girl. I really liked the sound of her voice and the content was great.
Also, for my own use I chose "Teacher Created Materials" which is Dr. Kathy King and Mark Gura discussing Educational news, views, research and resources. Their podcasts are centered around technology in education.
Another neat podcast I found was http://www.teachercreatedmaterials.com. These podcasts are a discussion amongst teachers about a given topic for example; vocabulary instruction, applying differentiation strategies, increasing fluency, etc. Their goal is to help teachers stay current about educational topics.
I wanted to find something that students could use and listen to. I found Dr. Dave Brodbeck's podcast where he answers real questions about science from real kids. His podcast are only about 5 minutes long so I was thinking you could incorporate a daily science podcast of his to jumpstart more discussion in class. Also, students could send in their own questions to him via email or Skype. Check it out at: http://www.youthscienceforum.ca/view.php?id=17
