Ashamanic ,

A podcast

I enjoy this, it is alwasy entertaining and informative. It's format is much like an American version of "Skeptics with a K" in that it generally doesn't have interviews, but has three presenters who come along, bring something they find interesting and talk about what they did in the past week, especially where there is a skeptical element. And swear a lot.

WMccreery ,

One of my favorites

The hosts sound like a group of (well informed) friends getting together for a chat

Raven'sangst ,

Laid back but skeptically educational

Yes, it is three people just enjoying themselves, but during the laughing and ranting you are informed and have a good time listening as well.
It's like going to a skeptical meet-up with friends who know enough stuff about new skeptical/atheistic/interesting topics to allow you to feel like you walk away ACTUALLY knowing more.
-so if you want to feel "included" skeptically, take a listen and you'll soon want to hear more.
