My recent favorite that I just started a few days ago is Welcome to Night Vale (website link, not podcast link).

Located in a nameless desert somewhere in the great American Southwest, Night Vale is a small town where ghosts, angels, aliens, and government conspiracies are all commonplace parts of everyday life.

The podcast typically airs on the first and fifteenth of every month, and consists of "news, announcements and advertisements" from the desert town, located "somewhere in the Southwestern United States". In an interview with NPR, Joseph Fink said that he "came up with this idea of a town in that desert where all conspiracy theories were real, and we would just go from there with that understood.

It's as ridiculous as it sounds, and it's incredibly funny, and sometimes creepy. I fell in love with it about halfway through the first episode.

Interesting. I am going to have to check this out. Sounds like a weird fusion of A Prairie Home Companion and Twin Peaks.
