If you're interested in writing speculative fiction, I highly recommend the Odyssey Podcasts, which are recorded sessions from the annual Odyssey Writing Workshop.

I would like to add I Should be Writing my Mur Lafferty. It was the first writing blog I ever listen to and I've gotten quiet a bit of good advice from Mur over the years.

Mur has also done a number of interviews with different professionals, including people like Neil Gaiman. It's worth your time to check it out.

My favourite is Writing Excuses

"15 minutes long because you're in a hurry, and we're not that smart!"

Focus is on fiction (especially spec fiction) and advice for aspiring writers. The hosts are:

Brandon Sanderson (Wheel of Time, Mistborn, etc)
Howard Taylor (Schlock Mercenary)
Dan Wells (I Am Not a Serial Killer, etc)
Mary Robinette Kowal (Shades of Milk and Honey, etc)

And they have guest stars and stuff.

More about it on my blog.
