<p>Just to ask if anyone is aware of any interesting math podcasts? I am particularly interested in podcasts describing mathematics in the wider world; but interesting academic podcasts would also be useful.</p>
<p>Interesting mathematical audio other than podcasts is also welcome.</p>

You can also get audio tracks of <a href="http://www.msri.org/communications/vmath/index%5Fhtml" rel="nofollow">MSRI videos</a> of talks, but you have to do some clicking (and encoding, if you want decent compression).</p>
