Writer's Podcasts... and a cry for help

As a long time lurker on 9rules I thought I might ask a favour and perhaps provoke a discussion at the same time. I am a writer based in the UK, my first book (a collection of Flash Fiction called 'Dial M For Monkey') was published in 2006 and I regularly post stories on my site as well as recently adding a podcast of me reading some of those stories.
As if this wasn't enough I am nominated for a North East Digital Award (UK) in the Best Podcasting Campaign category. It's not a cash prize or anything like that but it is voted for by the public so I was hoping some of you guys might go across to my site www.adammaxwell.com and listen and vote - you don't need to register and it only takes a second, there's a banner on every page...
Secondly I was wondering - what are you favourite writer's podcasts or podcasts about writing? Mainstream authors don't seem to have jumped on this opportunity yet - or have they and I just don't know about it? What sort of thing do you or would you like to hear in a writer's podcast? My site features some advice for writers - is that something you would be interested in? (even if it isn't from me!!)
Thanks for letting me bend your ears and I look forward to reading your responses.

Adam:
I'll check out your site. Thanks for the heads up. My favorite writers' podcast is "The Secrets" by Michael A. Stackpole (he's a fantasy/sci-fi writer). You can find it at StormWolf.com. It seems, though, that he hasn't updated it in a while (or maybe I'm not looking at the right feed.
Note: It's normally not considered good form to ask something like this from a community to which you really haven't given much. (Also, it may be against the rules) But since you ask so nicely...

yes, I was hoping I wasn't going to get totally flamed for asking for a favour but I thought that people would either ignore my request and chat about other podcasts or maybe visit and vote too.
There's a phrase where I live 'shy bairns get nowt' (for those outside of North East of England - 'shy kids get nothing'!)
I will check out Stackpole's podcast too - thanks.
