I've been subscribing to a feed of Matt's Today in History for more than a month now; most days, Matt Datillo files a brief essay on some element of history. Recent podcasts have included Napoleon's failed assault on Moscow, the Molly Maguires and the execution of Joan of Arc.
The texts are posted to Matt's blog, and you can stream the audio. Look for information on subscribing to the feed. (I like listening to each entry - they range from about five to 10 minutes in length - while I'm getting myself organized in the morning.)
The best podcast on the go these days has to be the Baddiel & Skinner World Cup Podcast, hosted by The Times of London. Even if you're one of these people who couldn't care less about soccer (aka "Americans") it's absolutely hilarious:
