What's your go-to video game podcast?

I know a few of us here keep up with the Giant Bombcast (giantbomb.com), and I would recommend anyone to check them out. They have two separate ones for their east and west coast offices. But I'm interested in finding another good one to help get through the work week. I did find a fallout podcast that I was stoked about, but when I finally started listening, it was more like role playing adventure time through the wasteland........except just audio. Not really what I was looking for.
What are some others you guys would recommend?

Jimquisition (" Podquisition") is ok. Not anywhere as good as GiantBombcast though. I absolutely can't stand his co-host (Laura K Buzz or whatever). She is an awkward SJW who isn't funny or interesting and brings down the show. Good thing Jim recently started a spinoff about video-game-related media such as video game movies called The Spin-Off Doctors. Much better than Jimquisition.
Another I like is Yahtzee's weekly " Let's Drown Out " series that he uploads to YouTube. They're LetsPlays that are designed to be listened to rather than watched, so they're functionally a podcast with Yahtzee. Good stuff as always from him. 10/10.
TotalBiscuit does a good podcast called the " The Co-Optional Podcast" which is good for a background listen. He's a good host, but I've never found him particularly funny or anything. He's just solid.

Been a Giant Bomb fan since 2009 so I listen to all of their podcasts. Idle Thumbs is pretty good too. They are little more serious than the Giant Bomb stuff but occasionally get silly.

IGN has a fallout podcast called the vault that is pretty good. My must podcast every week is PS I love you by Kinda funny. It's playstation specific but it tackles all the AAA games too.

I listen to a lot of podcast, so they are dominated by science, tech and politics. My video game podcasts are limited to a few smaller ones like Veteran Gamers. Overtime it felt like some of the larger video game podcasts where becoming bias due to their paid promotion or play alongs with some of the developers.

Watching a podcast would be pretty difficult

I alternate between The Giant Bombcast, DLC and the Kinda Funny Gamescast.

Yeah, I know, just saw an opening and shot anyway. Several of the podcasts I listen to have video versions, but I listen to podcasts when driving etc so it's a completely audio medium to me.
Gaming podcasts I listen to:
IGN - way too liberal for my taste but a lot of them have pretty interesting insight even if I don't agree with them. The best podcasts on IGN are the ones that deal more with film and tv and mix. Keeping it Reel, channel surfing, digigods and ign UK. Gamescoop is the best pure video game one.
PS I love You- both hosts can be annoying and wrong but they might be one of the most genuine that I listen to.
The rest of what I listen to isn't game related. But if I'm playing a video game, chances are very high I'm listening to a podcast or watching a movie on my phone.

That's what makes them great. I don't agree with them often but because they are so genuine I know where they are coming from atleast

Dude Soup by Funhaus (formerly Inside Gaming)
They talk less about individual games and more about sort of the industry as a whole.

I like GiantBomb but find their podcasts run a little longer than I want from a podcast.
Some of the others I really like and stay subscribed to are Idle Thumbs, Watch Out for Fireballs, and Video Games Hot Dog.
Idle Thumbs is made up of game devs and they take a little more serious tone on current games/gaming.
Watch Out for Fireballs is a podcast that plays through an older game every week and then pretty thoroughly discusses it. It's pretty hit or miss for me but when they hit an old game that I love it's great.
Video Games Hot Dog is basically the guys from Kingdom of Loathing and Jim Crawford (Frog Fractions creator) just doing their take on a weekly video games review podcast. It's a little more laid back and fun and I've been listening to the Kingdom of Loathing guys for years now so it just feels "comfortable" to me.
