I recently found the podcast "no guitar is safe" and I am finding them very good indeed. They run to about 1.5 hours and each one is basically an interview with a guitarist, guitar in hand for the odd bit of playing.
I started off just grabbing 4 with players that interest me, and they have all been excellent - Satriani, John 5, Steve Stevens and Richie Kotzen. Richie Kotzen is such a great guy, you really want to hang out with him. I love one of his stories, Kent Stanfield at the Baked Potato. For those that don't know, Kent is an alter ego that Richie adopts for fun! He puts in goofy bad looking teeth that make him talk differently, wears grubby old work clothes and just wanders around pretending to be Kent. Another time he adopted a british accent all summer because .... well why not!
Anyway, well worth a listen. I do them in 30 minute stints when on boring gym equipment. Perfect to take your mind off of dull exercise!

Well done, I've been wanting to start a thread on this podcast specifically for ages as we didn't have one. I listened to the new Tommy Emmanuel episode last night, which – as a sweaty metalhead – was very humbling. The Laurence Juber episode had a similar effect.
Jude Gold really is no slouch himself, either.
It really struck me how meta culture is becoming when Marc Maron appeared. I got into the car a few times and was not sure which podcast I was listening to.
Marc Maron's WTF is great for his interviews of musicians

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youAndy Wood one was really interesting too. Just don't rule any out as they may not be "your" style of music.
My favourite ones are where they speak to the top session guys or guys from Letterman or the Tonight Show etc - some great insight into that life. Toshi Yanagi and Jared Scharff being 2 of these guys
Avoid - only 2 for me have been awful - Danielle Gottardo (altho I like his playing) and Lita Ford one was awful.
Still loads to listen to tho! They pass the time on the commute or on way to gigs

Then you can add the sevenths and build it up from there.
Its a great podcast, there's been some that I'm not keen on, but you just skip them. I've learned a great deal and laughed tonnes. GuitarWank is another good podcast, really not safe for work though!
And yeah, very few of them have been bad. Some more interesting than others, but all very well put together.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
I knew little about him but he has some fantastic stories about his days playing sessions.
Recommended, especially to anyone sceptical about tone woods or hide glue.
