Just counted mine and I listen to 24. I have a couple of others but they don't provide an RSS feed so I don't bother downloading them. Some of these are seasnal but I'll give a short review on each.

Science Friday - Variety of science topics , can be hit and miss at times but fills around 90 minutes of listening.
The Infinite Monkey Cage - Seasonal. A comical look at a science subject each week with a panel of guests. Brian Cox and Robin Ince are the hosts. Quite entertaining and worth a listen.
TEDTalks - another hit and miss effort but Podcasts only last around 10 minutes. Variety of subject but a lot of science related and why I listen.
The Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures. Seasonal. Series of lectures on the latest Astronomy subjects. 90 minutes to 2 hours. Entertaining but very subject specific, only for the hard core Astronomy geek like me :)
Planetary Radio - Latest news and views on mostly Solar System related objects and NASA spacecraft. 30 minutes.
The Jodcast - Entertaining Astronomy News podcast around 45 minutes long from guys at Jodrell Bank. Variety of subjects both current and core.
365 Days of Astronomy - a smorgasborg of Astronomy topics but different every day. Some last 10 minutes, others last 1 hour. Most are all redistributed Podcasts that can be found by a separate search but contained in an easy format.
Radiolab - entertaining different look at a topic on subjects you wouldn't normally think of as interesting. Published every 2-4 weeks but well worth a check. 40 minutes.
The Moth - Stories by individuals on life experiences. Stories can be funny, sad, lifechanging but usually entertaining. Most US based themes.1 hour.
Irish History Podcast - History stories told about the Island from the Stone Age to present. Well presented but certainly biased towards the Celtic nation. 30 -40 minutes.
The British History Podcast - very detailed walk through of past events by a very knowledgeable teacher. Hard core history fans only, we are around episode 200 and only in the 6th century. Weekly, 1 hour.
Big Picture Science - SETI themed podcast on a variety of Astronomical subjects. Weekly and 1 hour.
The Naked Scientists - Must listen to science show on a different theme every week but gives current news and views on the science scene. Weekly 1 hour.
Naked Astronomy - As above only Astronomy news. 1 hour, monthly.
StarStuff - Entertaining Australia based weekly Astronomy news show with a spacecraft based theme.  30 minutes, weekly.
Pokercast - Hard core poker news show with no strategy, just news and interviews. 2 - 3 hours long but the guys deliver it well and can be worth a listen. Weekly.
Ante Up Poker - Latest news and a bit of strategy from the guys that run the magazine.
Thinking Poker Podcast - A more advanced strategy Pokershow that gives you a different level of thinking. Andrew Brokos is one of the top poker coaches and he will get you on a different level of thinking. They'll discuss 2 hands and take 30 minutes and rip it apart. Very good for strategy. 1 hour, weekly.
Grinderschool - Poker Podcast and aimed at the beginner/ low stakes. Excellent for an aspiring player and will get you to the next level. 30 mins, weekly.
The Mental Game of Poker Radio Show - Interview with some of the top pros in the game and can help you with the mental aspect. 1 hour, weekly but sporadic at times.
The Tournament Poker Edge - MTT players strategy show with some good nuggets of info. 30 mins, weekly.
The Dev show - now defunct podcast for those interested in Programming in various languages.
Top Pair Poker show - 2 players discuss the home game they run with a bit of strategy but mostly a ramble. Hit and miss. 45 minutes weekly.

I have listened to others in the past but that's my current line up. Of these I'd say The Naked Scientists, Grinderschool and Thinking Poker are my favourites.

I could add a few more if anyone has any suggestions.
