No, never. Don't see the point.
Never.
It's a bit 'yesterday'.
To help others vote, this is a definition of a Podcast from the ABC Network:
What is a podcast?
A podcast is a series of digital media files (either audio or video) that are released episodically and downloaded onto your computer or mobile device.
Using a subscription service, such as iTunes, podcasts are downloaded and stored on your computer. When connected to the internet, your subscription service searches for the latest edition of the program on the relevant platform, and will download the media file to a folder on your computer where you can listen to or watch it from there, or transfer it onto your portable mp3/video player.

By the definition described no. But for netcasts or streams...a Big yes. I listen or watch streaming radio, tv, tutorials constantly, but only streaming media.
Voted no. When working on the computer, my attention goes mainly to what I'm looking at. Since I can't focus on 2 things at a time, this means that I neglect whatever I'm listening to.
In other words, my experience is that I can never actually follow what's being said in podcasts.
Yes, usually to radio bits that I listened in the car while driving and could not finish or would like to remember...
also some language training...
I like them...
Hmmm. A Xara podast - especially a video podcast - would be fun.
I've always thought of podcasts as being just audio. So definate no to audio only, video podcasts might be more interesting.
I don't and my son didn't, but then suddenly he did.
He has just been doing his school GCSE exams and he discovered a treasure trove of podcasts covering most of the subjects in significant detail.
He downloaded them and when he was tired of reading, he just listened and subconsciously assimilated the background information.
We are awaiting the results!

if i think it will be entertaining or help me figure something out some can be rather informative so its nice to be able to download and listen when you want
