I listen to this Podcast, Zen and the Art of Triathlon, by this guy named Brett, from College Station Texas. I listen to it (and other podcasts both triathlon-related and not) while I put in many hours on my bike. In fact, I attribute my ability to stay on my bike for virtually as long as I want to to my interest in and amusement by podcasting- riding is the only time I really have to listen, and I can't wait to get on my bike and tune in. I frequently blather on to my BF and on this forum about some nugget of wisdom I have learned by listening to Zen, such as "the wind is our friend" and "training on rough roads makes us not mind them on race day." Strangely, no one else seems to even know what I am talking about, (podcasts) much less join in my appreciation. Zen is one of my very favorites. Its host, Brett, goes on about his daily business of taking care of the baby, Kai, while training for various triathlons. There is a cast of regular guests including his wife Emily, a triathlete herself. While there is a wealth of technical information, there is a lot of just plain Brett giving a running commentary on whatever activity he, Kai, Emily, the dogs, etc. happen to be doing at the moment. For some reason, I find this very relaxing and look forward eagerly to each new show.

Sound familiar? ;-)
