I use iTunes Podcasts to listen to Renewing the Mind with RC Sproul, John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, Steve Lawson, JD Hall (Pulpit & Pen), Chris Rosebrough (Fighting for the Faith), Answers with Ken Ham, Creation Moments, Scripture on Creation, The Briefing with Al Mohler, Wretched Radio clip, 5 Minutes in Church History with Stephen Nichols, among a few other non-Christian postcasts that discuss other interests (boardgameing, history, etc)
I listen quite a bit to RefNet, Ligonier's internet radio. There you can hear R.C. Sproul (of course), John MacArthur, Alistair Begg, John Piper, Martin Lloyd-Jones long with a host of other Reformed preachers. The address is www.refnet.fm
Oh, yeah, I use RefNet as well. It is great, I just have a hard time keeping up with all the podcasts I am addicted to that I don't use it that often. ;)
Moody Radio also has an excellent internet feed called "Proclaim" which is sermons 24/7. Although not always from the Reformed perspective, 99% of the content is excellent for any believer.
I just found the wealth on Sermon Audio to be exhaustive and very easy to garner on my ipad. I subscribe so I can save sermons into a list to listen to as well. I like listening to regular sermons by local pastors (not at all nationally known). I like the raw unvarnished regular sermon of a pastor who is speaking to his smaller congregation. Also I like listening to those from the Free Church in Scotland. the European Sermon is often quite different from American.
Just listened to RC Sproul on St Anselm and the ontological argument for God. It brought back old memories of college. My final in intro philosophy second year was three questions: Is there a God? Does man have a soul? Is man free? We all proceeded to write like mad, eager to impress with our vast knowledge (sophomores). One young lady turned in her Blue Book in less than two minutes and I figured the curve was bending my way. I filled three Blue Books with some of my most impressive work! Well, we met to get our scores and there was only one A. You guessed it, this brilliant young lady, who simply answered the questions: Yes, Maybe, No; and with no explanations. She got the A because she answered the questions. The rest of the class received C's and D's and a very good lesson in testing. The professor simply gloated.
I also use Sermon Audio on my iPad. I like to listen to Richard Caldwell in Spring, Texas, Pastor of at Founders Baptist Church and Wil Owens from Clovis, California, Pastor of Clovis Evangelical Free Church. Both preach good expository sermons.
I should confess up front that I am a podcast junkie and I recognize that I have a problem. That being said here are my favorite (less well known) podcasts (Note: I have an apologetical bent):http://reformedforum.org/ under Programs of the 7 my favorites are Philosophy for Theologians, Christ the Center and Proclaiming Christ.

http://www.reasons.org (Science apologetics OE perspective) bottom left RTB podcasts listed all are good
http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable (top notch debate program)
also ITunesU has an inexhaustible amount of content from Westminster Theological, Reformed Theological, Covenant Seminary and many others.
I see most are listening to podcasts or lectures mostly regarding apologetics. Is a sermon different? Is there value in hearing what was originally preached in the pulpit to the People of God? How would we determine the difference? Does a sermon need to be preached from a pulpit? Does it require a call to gospel? What other elements does it require. Side note: In reading some of the sermons from Mark Matthews of Seattle he took a very different tack from today's evangelical sermons. Using Scripture to attack local social problems, calling common practices as evil and calling for government intervention in moral and ethical issues. It would be interesting to hear this in a modern Evangelical Church.
I also listen to lectures from the three seminaries on iTunesU that Jake mentioned. They have complete lecture series for seminary courses. This is a wealth of good teaching that is available to anyone who wants to learn more about the word of God and how to minister His word. I am currently listening to Christ Centered Preaching from Covenant Theological Seminary.
A new podcast that has just been started: North Greenville University's Jody Jennings, director of Baptist Student Union, speaks here: http://www.bsu.ngustuff.com/I love sitting under his teaching. God has been using him in a mighty way on the campus.



Currently listening to RC Sproul on history of philosophy; Hyperpreterism by Brian Swertley; and selected sermons by Sinclair Fergueson.
Each has their good points.
