So, as someone who works from home on a PC, I tend to listen to alot of podcasts. Over the last year i've listened at times to the following. Heres my opinions:
Steve Austin Show: Clean - Entertaining, but can be a little light on guests. Dont get me wrong, austin can hold a podcast solo, but i prefer the interview ones.
Steve Austin Show: Unleashed - Same as above, some fantastic episodes though, such as Paul Heyman and Vampiro
The Ross Report - Can be fun depending on the guest, does seem to retread alot of the same material per episode though (could make a drinking game out of Bill Watts name drops, Terry Funk impressions and Sonic Peach Tea references)
Talk Is Jericho - Usually has the most amount of guests, can be a good listen if you don't mind the more easy going conversational style as opposed to interview style of Austin. Also, skip the first 20 mins.
Colt Cabana: Art of Wrestling - Can be good, and respect to the guy for really starting this whole medium, but not my cup of tea, maybe a little too 'indie'
Woo Nation - In all honesty, i've listened to two episodes, so cannot really form a judgement, but it seems pretty good, will need to listen more
Pipers Pit (R.I.P) - This podcast was a total rambling shambles... and that was its charm, it was Roddy in podcast form... could be painful at times, but highly entertaining also (props for mispronouncing Gangrel and Bubba Ray's names)
My number one podcast however has to be
Human Podcast Machine w/ Taz - The guy is just soo natural in this role, perhaps his years as a colour commentator prepared him for this. It has a different more relaxed feel than some, but not so much as Jericho. Theres a great dynamic between him and the producer, and the fantasy draft edition episodes are always great, even when they screw up such as the 'Top Ten Bizzare Gimmicks'. Very happy he will be starting the daily Taz Show soon.
Honestly, if you like podcasts, give Taz's a try, i know a few people dont know about it cos its not on Podcast One (is over at play.it)
So what about you, what are your favourite wrestling podcast?

I like Jericho's. I really didn't like Chris himself for a while and the start of his podcast used to annoy the hell out of me. Now I skip 20 mins in and for me he is the best when he's talking to wrestlers. He's completely on their wavelength.
Austin's is good depending on who he has on. Like Jericho though I have to skip the first portion as him talking about his tomato plants etc is incredibly boring.
I listen to JR weekly too as he usually has great guests. Unfortunately it's usually a bit boring as he constantly talks about the same things every week.

We Watch Wrestling Podcast - I love it. All three hosts are hilarious. I started listening because of one of the hosts, Matt McCarthy, who used to write for the Pete Holmes Show which I loved. Listening to the podcast though I figured out he at one point wrote for WWE, including the anger management stuff between Team Hell No.

When I load my podcasts into the mP3 player, I often cut out the first twenty minutes of "small talk" because I find it extremely boring..... I do this for Stone Cold, Jericho, & Jim Ross...... I love when they do the interviews, but that 1st twenty minutes can be a chore to listen to.
While Stone Cold's been getting on my nerves lately, due to the way he handled the Piper situation - I must admit that his interviews are the best around.....
I get mildly annoyed whenever Jericho just starts humming rock songs - for 2-3 minutes straight...... it's painful.....
And, while I'm one of the biggest Ric Flair fans on this board - I can freely admit that his podcast is the worst. He often ignores the guest, & just wants to tell drinking stories all the time..... he's so bad he has to have another guy in there to keep the "interview" on track.
I enjoyed listening to the Piper podcasts - but he was not a good listener - he frequently would do much more talking than the guest, & the "interview" generally consisted of Piper telling the guest the same old tired stories we've heard before ("I was fifteen years old")..... still - Piper's Podcasts had a certain charm that I'm missing already.

Those that have been mentioned are great, but you may wanna give Sam Roberts wrestling podcast a try too. He does fairly quick interviews and then has his "State of Wrestling" where he talks about recent events going on, mainly in the WWE.

Cheap Heat is my favorite.
I listen to Jericho if I like his guest.
I've been listening to Sam Roberts as well.

Talk is Jericho The Steve Austin Show The Steve Austin Show - Unleashed The Ross Report The Human Podcast Machine Been meaning to get into Woooo! Nation and Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. I don't skip the first twenty or so minutes because I like hearing JR's thoughts on the business. Jericho is alright because he talks about a bunch of stuff from what he's been doing lately. Austin, ehhh sometimes I think what the  is he on about? He hates the Los Angeles traffic near 3:16 gimmick street but damn. Stop mentioning it please. My favourite is probably Talk n Shop. So ing stupid. They spend thirty minutes drinking, talking about cock and telling old stories and I love it. Plus, Howard Finkel does the intros, David Penzer pops in, Steve Austin speaks, and we get reminded that Machine gun went to the 2012 G1 finals and has a hot Asian wife. |

I listen to people talk about wrestling more than I watch wrestling. It's what happens when you work in an office by yourself with minimal walk-in traffic for hours upon hours a day.
-Cheap Heat
-Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast
-Talk is Jericho
-Steve Austin Show
-The Ross Report
-Human Podcast Machine (occasionally)
Plus, for the last month or so, I've been listening to nearly all of PW Torch's VIP Audio shows - Livecasts, Bruce Mitchell, Wade Keller Hotline, etc. They do a great job with coverage and give a really interesting perspective.

Taz is friggin fantastic and his producer/co host is perfect with him. That's for sure my favorite. Fantasy drafts with Professor Vegas keep me laughing and entertained the entire show.
Other than that, The Ross Report, both of Stone Cold's, and Piper's Pit are my top five. I'm subscribed to Jerichos but I haven't listened to one since Vickie or Regeal was on, whichever was more recent.
Forgot about MLW. I only listen to Cornette's and it's pretty great, but so much politics that the wrestling a seems to take a back seat. But I could listen to him talk about anything.

I only go out of my way to listen to Colt Cabana's AOW, The Stone Cold Steve Austin Show and Talk Is Jericho. I'd like to get into Jim Ross' and Taz's podcasts too though.

Sam Roberts is the only podcast I listen to every week. Everything else depends on the guest(s). I used to listen to AOW every single week too but Colt has gotten kind of douchey as of late and I'm not a fan of his interviews from events, particularly ones that turn into a Freight Train comedy fest.
Not a fan of Jericho. Think he's about the absolute worst high profile podcast on earth. He gets great guests but I have to do excessive skipping around to get what I want out of them.

I listen to the Ross Report and Talk is Jericho frequently, I like that Jericho has wrestling guests as well as metal/hard rock people and Jim Ross is always someone I love to listen to (though he does tend to go on long rants in the middle of the interview and talk for 15 minutes straight). Depending on the guest i'll listen to Austin's, but most of the time I lose interest after a while (plus I can always hear him breathing through his nose which eventually bothers me).
