I've found that there is a significant lack of quality, tech business startup podcasts. I think a lot of it has to do with folks just being so busy.

I've tried to get into This Week In Startups but I usually just pick-and-choose the good guests to download once in a while.

I've often thought that I'd like to make a podcast where every week, a new topic is outlined. From accounting to HR to ideas and well beyond, pick one topic every week and assemble conference segments that revolve around the topic. Licensing and distribution rights would certainly be a challenge, but imagine having a cross-conference view of a single topic. Build episodes into a linear "course" of startup topics and I bet you'd really have something.

I listen to these regularly. I think they're all quite good. Generally, I don't listen to podcasts to solve a problem. I use them to expand my knowledge and open my mind to new ideas. With that in mind, here is my list:

Harvard Business Review IdeaCast http://feeds.harvardbusiness.org/harvardbusiness/ideacast

TedTalks http://feeds.feedburner.com/TEDTalks_video

The 37Signals Podcast http://feeds.feedburner.com/37signals_podcast

Help! My Business Sucks (give this upbeat Brit a chance, he has some good ideas) http://helpmybusiness.com/feed/

They took down the Apple Podcast, but you can stream Brain Brew Radio: http://brainbrewradio.com/
