The Poetry Foundation offers a number of intersting podcasts, including two that I've become great fans of:
Essential American Poets offers a selection of poets -- chosen by then-U.S. Poet Laureate Donald Hall -- of some of the best poets working in the medium in recent years. Poets like C.K. Williams, Galway Kinnell, Ted Kooser and Theodore Roethke have been featured. It runs every two weeks. You can listen on the foundation's site or subscribe via iTunes.
Poetry Off the Shelf is another important offering, which provides readings, interviews and criticism on a weekly basis. There have been discussions of Elizabeth Alexander and the inaugural poem, Langston Hughes, erotic poetry, Louis Zukofsky, economic poetry and other topics. You can listen on the foundation's site or subscribe via iTunes.
