Hacking / Security Podcasts

As a hacker, you are constantly learning new things and staying up to date in the scene. But sometimes you can’t due to your daily responsibilities like driving places, mowing the lawn, shoveling, cleaning around the house and sitting on the toilet. Well now you still CAN with podcasts. Pump ‘em into your iPod, Zune or phone, plug in your earphones and you have a constant stream of knowledge being pumped into your head while you do your daily chores/responsibilities.
