I’m glad you asked! It goes in cycles but I have about 15 podcasts or videocasts that I listen to or watch more or less regularly. The best English subscriptions are:
APM: Marketplace Conversations from the Corner Office
Business Week — Cover Stories
Career Tools
Manager Tools
Deloitte Insights
Grammar Girl
KCRW’s Left, Right and Center
TED Talks
New Yorker cartoons
Tips from the Top Floor
AND last but not least — perhaps my favorite: Neues aus der Anstalt
I also follow Presentation Zen as an RSS feed.
Of course, I don’t follow them all religiously, but there’s some good input there and always available when I feel like it or to help me speak intelligently in some course or group.

Thanks guys 🙂 Great tips, Rod. Have been listening to episodes from APM: Marketplace Conversations from the Corner Office for about an hour now. It’s really exactly the language you need in business: Business lingo, but also just normal conversational English, US style. And short. Very, very good.
Rod, I know you’re a busy guy, but if you have half an hour to write a comment on your favorites, I’d stick that into that column … But you’re already flying out the door to see the family, right? 🙂 Anyway, I’ll put the list in as is.
Dolce, hab mir den Beitrag zu Iris Berben angeschaut. Ich halte das Fernsehen nicht mehr aus, aber solche kurzen Highlights gefallen mir gut.
