Didn't know where this fits. Do you listen to any podcasts that you feel have good tips or advice on writing or grammar and such? I have long drives, and I can't find many writer podcasts.
Writer related podcasts?

A good one is Writing Excuses http://www.writingexcuses.com/ It is put on by Brandon Sanderson, Dan Wells, and Howard Tayler. They usually bring in a guest writer to add to the mix as well. They podcast about all aspects of writing.

I am, admittedly, a podcast junkie. Half of my day at work is spent in my car, so I have my podcasts to keep me company.
In addition to Writing Excuses mentioned above (excellent), here are others:
I should be writing. http://isbw.murlafferty.com/ Mur Lafferty's podcast on writing techniques and her own frustrations with the craft.
Authors Access. http://www.authorsaccess.com/
Adventures in SciFi publishing http://www.adventuresinscifipublishing.com/ This is more an author interview, and genera specific, but often topics are about publishing and writing.
Write the Book. http://writethebook.podbean.com/ This is a catchall of writing. Much information is the 101 variety, but still good.
There are a few Grammar/Vocab podcasts I love:
Grammar Girl Quick and Dirty tips. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/ Ok, you probably know most of these grammar rules, but the pithy tips are so concise, and I enjoy the grammar discussion.
Grammar Grater. http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/podcasts/grammar_grater/
Word of the day/etymology
Merriam Webster http://www.learnoutloud.com/Podcast...MerriamWebsters-Word-of-the-Day-Podcast/19450
Podictionary http://podictionary.com/
Wordsmart http://www.wordsmart.com/landing/b/
Podcast by booksellers about new books. While not a how-to, they go into trends and why they like particular books.
Books on the nightstand http://booksonthenightstand.com/
NPR in character http://www.npr.org/series/17914370/in-character This is a limited episode podcast that goes into the great characters of literature, film, and folklore.
I hope you like some of these.

I listen to very few podcast of any kind. I prefer to read reviews and such...

@Spike,
You mentioned all the podcasts I was going to suggest, then went the extra mile. What a great list, thank you.
I just wanted to add K.M. Weiland's Wordplay podcast - it's concise and often contains a thought-provoking nugget or two.
