The original vegan podcaster
Vegan podcast have been proliferating lately, but this is the original. Erik Marcus wrote Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating and, more recently, Meat Market. Vegan.com hosts his weekly podcast, which is usually uploaded on Thursdays. – AnimalFriendly

Informative and entertaining podcast!
Out of several vegan/animal rights podcasts to which I subscribe, Erik's Diner is by far the most professional, most informative, and most entertaining. He covers a wide variety of topics, such as animal rights campaigns, restaurant reviews, cooking tips, and general news and information of interest to vegans. – apryl_knight

(marked in iTunes as "explicit")
podcast.veganfreak.com or subscribe to Vegan Freaks directly in iTunes.

Best vegan podcast on the net
There is a surprisingly large number of vegetarian/vegan podcasts on the web, and while I like most of them, I look forward to Vegan Freak the most. The hosts have an excellent dynamic and are extremely well informed about the vast panoply of issues and interests concerning vegan culture, and especially the unique task of living an extreme minority lifestyle in a larger society that thinks you are, well, freaks. Plus they are very funny! – dsyjunct

Smart friends in my living room
This isn't a podcast, this is me getting together with my good vegan friends to talk about animal rights, good vegan recipes, books, ...and the healthy vegan's regularity in the bathroom. ... I like that they cover the serious stuff, but they also have good dorky fun too. The closest analogy I can think of is to say this is basically Herbivore Magazine in an aural format. – Glitteris
