there’s a dark cave full of them. With some friendly looking elves such as dndnd and critical role and some nasty looking orcs which I shall not name. Anyway, what dnd podcast are y’all into?
It's not a "podcast" but Matt Colville's YouTube series "Running the Game" is something everyone wanting to play D&D, or even people who have played it for years, should watch.

WOTC lies. We know that WOTC lies. WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. We know that WOTC knows that we know that WOTC lies. And still they lie.
Because of the above (a paraphrase from Orwell) I no longer post to the forums -- PM me if you need help or anything.
By far and away my favourite is "The Dungeon Run" I like to watch it on You Tube but there is a Pod cast and live interactive broadcast as well. Almost 60 episodes in and it gets better and better as the story goes on ( but I recon by ep : 5-8 you will be hooked )
I second Llew_Llaw's recommendations above, with a few additions. Critical Role is the gold standard, being most popular D&D podcast in existence. That being said, it can get very slow at times. I'd recommend starting with Campaign 2. It's only loosely connected to the first one, and you get to experience their characters from the very beginning. The production value is much higher as well.
Dungeons and Daddies (not a BSM podcast) is more like the quirky home game you play with your friends. It's more more edited, and can be a little fast and loose with the rules. Still pretty funny, if you're ok with bad dad jokes that deal psychic damage.
I'd even add D&D Beyond's "Beyond Heroes" series. Their campaign usually previews new source material before it's available to the general public. Beyond Heroes keeps the story fast paced and interesting, and jumps into a different world every few weeks.
Dungeons & Daddies and Heroes & Halfwits and The Adventure Zone are hilarious. Wellto me anyway Critical Role is pretty serious it has its its moments of but it is pretty deep.
If you're into heavy podcasts God's Fall is another one. It was a bit too heavy for me I gave up about 80 episodes in

Odo Proudfoot - Lvl 10 Halfling Monk - Princes of the Apocalypse (Campaign Finished)
All with varying degrees of seriousness and varying campaign/arc lengths. I prefer the podcasts where there isn't 3+ hours to listen to every week just to keep up (let alone catch up).

There is a lot of great stuff on YouTube (Matt Colville, Satine Phoenix, Matthew Perkins etc...) but I'm having trouble finding anything like that in podcast format.
High Rollers, Critical Role, and Saturday Knights:Another D&D Podcast (the latter is very new and very funny so you can try catch up but I assure you, Lilas'll have you crying in laughter before the end of episode 1)
Only D&D podcast I listen to is Dungeons Dudes' Dungeons of Drakkenheim. I can't watch the YT videos of them as they are so long, but in podcast form I can listen whilst I work. Just wish they also put some of their other vids on the podcast feed as well (mainly the Q&A ones which are also quite lengthy and don't require visuals).
I've tried to get into Critical Role but they annoy me most of the time.
I listen to many, which inspired me to create my own podcast. I spend a bit more time working on my own show now, but I still listen to a lot of the same shows. I would say that my two favorites are Make Believe Heroes and I Cast Fireball. I Cast Fireball started out really good, but the ending felt kind of weak and I got tired of some of the repetitive decisions and tropes that they made. Still a good podcast. Make Believe Heroes is a family friendly, clean podcast that is also incredibly funny. They have been producing for 5 years and have used DnD Beyond for the whole time, so they really should be sponsored by them by now. I was inspired by both of these shows to make my own, which I named the Endless Quest. We have been producing episodes for around 6 months now, and I feel that our audio and production quality has gotten pretty good. We would appreciate a listen, and I know the aforementioned shows would as well.

Dungeon Master for The Endless Quest, a family friendly 5e actual play podcast.
You might enjoy longform charop content like d4 Deep Dives, Treantmonk's Temple, Constructed Chaos and Bilbrons & Dragons. There are also channels that try to focus more on lore and concept than mechanics like Geek Pantheon.
Roll For Combat is a podcast about the business side of the hobby, but it tends to be more critical / histrionic about D&D as those are the headlines that get the most attention, particularly when he's bringing on guests like Dungeons and Discourse or The Rules Lawyer that are more pro-Pathfinder. But as long as you accept their tendency to farm community rage for clicks, there's occasionally useful episodes there, like their hands-on with the WotC VTT during PAX Unplugged that got swiftly drowned out by the layoffs being announced.

Cool! I’ll check it out!
I've got a few:
- Critical Role
- Dungeons and Daddies (not a BSM podcast)
- The Adventure Zone
- Dragon Talk (put out by the D&D team)
- Crit Academy
- Heroes & Halfwits (although I've got to the end of their series still on the list in case more get released)
Odo Proudfoot - Lvl 10 Halfling Monk - Princes of the Apocalypse (Campaign Finished)
Orryn Pebblefoot - Lvl 5 Rock Gnome Wizard (Deceased) - Waterdeep: Dragon Heist (Deceased)
Anerin Ap Tewdr - Lvl 5 Human (Variant) Bard (College of Valor) - Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
By far and away my favourite is "The Dungeon Run" I like to watch it on You Tube but there is a Pod cast and live interactive broadcast as well. Almost 60 episodes in and it gets better and better as the story goes on ( but I recon by ep : 5-8 you will be hooked )
And of course Dragon Talk from WoTC
Cool! I’ll check those out!

- High Rollers

Interesting!
Anyone into dndnd? It’s a great one.
Any good podcasts that are not actual play?
There is a lot of great stuff on YouTube (Matt Colville, Satine Phoenix, Matthew Perkins etc...) but I'm having trouble finding anything like that in podcast format.
I’m a huge fan of High Rollers, Dungeons of Drakkenheim, and Acquisitions Incorporated. Prefect for me to listen to at work.
I watch Critical Role (still catching up the 2nd Campain) also I like "A Crap Guide to D&D" xD
@Garr_Feyld - it's on my list, but not yet listened to, so not sure of quality.
DND Optimised have podcasts via goggle that talk about role playing, as opposed to listening to others playing.

Thanks! I'll check it out. The best I've found so far has been Adventuring Academy on Dimension20
