I have a pretty wide set of musical tastes that includes more than just the Jersey Boys, and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons.
There were recently several interesting music related podcasts from San Diego's KPBS These Days:
- The Bird and The Bee
- West Indian Girl
- Oxford American's Southern Music Issue
- Earl Thomas Performs In Studio (Video)
- In Studio Presentation Of A Stradivarius Violin
When I'm in the mood for the blues I always turn to The Roadhouse podcast.
When I'm in the mood for classical music, I find WGBH Classical Performance Podcast to be great. I also find the classical feed on CBC Radio 2 to be a nice streaming option.
The Magnatune "great pianist" podcast is very good if you want something 'lite' playing in the background.
The Alternative Classix Podcast is a well produced and researched 80s 'new wave' radio show you will not be disappointed with.
For those that like electronica and/or techno ... I highly recommend:
- SomaFM's Grove Salad
- IndieFeed:Electornica
- DJ Amber's iamthedj podcast
- DJ Steve Boy's podrunner
- Radio 538: Tiesto's Club Life
If you want something more mellow but still pretty electronic then check out the Ultima Thule Ambient Music podcast.
I also enjoy the Coverville podcast and the Rock'N'Roll Geek podcast.



FWIW, I like:
Eclecticmix.com. George Smyth likes a wide swath across the music spectrum, but he crafts a show around one particular artist or group at a time.
Thepod5.com, although I gotta say it's because Zack's voice is so amusing.
Highorbitpodcast.com, I love Matthew Ebel's music, but this show is about other music artists. What I like most about this show is his robot sidekick characters. The same robots that are featured in his Goodbye Planet Earth album. They're hilarious.

Marv ... Thanks for the recommendations. I checked them out and really liked the Eclecticmix.com. I just added it to iTunes!
