I'm hoping to listen to podcasts of a variety of different games, to get some idea of what's out there to be played--but a lot of the ones I seem to find (such as The Rolemonkeys) seem to be out of date and no longer run. Where are some actual play RPG podcasts still in production?

The link is dead now. Can you replace it? – Naurgul Mar 17 '11 at 21:49

there are many other actual play podcasts not on that list but it is a good one - my personal favorite Critical Hit (from the folks at Major Spoilers (see majorspoilers.com) for example is missing from that resource. As are, unless I missed them, the fantastic Penny Arcade live play podcasts (video) published by Wizards of the Coast themselves – Shannon John Clark Mar 18 '11 at 20:51
Thank you, @Community, for updating the link. – okeefe Mar 21 '11 at 18:35

The guys from Penny Arcade and PvP have more than 30 podcasts under their belt:

series 1 & 2

all podcasts (newest first)

They're funny, too (at least for me). – Adriano Varoli Piazza Mar 17 '11 at 21:54

They play mostly D&D 4E but also mix in Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, Savage worlds games, Call of Cthulu. Great group of guys and a great podcast.

The Walking Eye is a mix of discussion and AP, but I believe AP is the heart of the show. The Gamemaster Show (sorry, I'm still limited to one link per post but it's easy to Google) seem to be having some hiccoughs, but they're rooted in AP shows too.

But my favourite, hands down, is Actual People, Actual Play, mentioned above.

For a good selection of different RPGs and systems, I suggest giving Role Playing Public Radio a try. I know they've got a good amount of different games they tend to do that are on the site. D&D 4e, Call of Cthulu, Monsters and Other Childish Things, World of Darkness, Mutants & Masterminds, and a few others I can't think of at the moment.

The Podgecast is one i really enjoy. Great mix of fun! and useful rpg stuff. They're mostly on pretty solid release schedule, so there's always new episodes. The show is a bit heavy on the burning wheel side (which i really don't mind), but they cover all kinds of useful things aside from that.

another new one i really enjoy are the Jennisodes hosted by Jenn Wong. The show is mostly revolving around indie-side of RPG's. Jenn is a very enthusiastic host and the interviews on the show are fun, easy going yet informative. Also a she's got a pretty solid release schedule.

Also, take a look at this article: Bi-Annual Podcast Roundup, in which MJ Harnish writes about his current selection of RPG podcasts. Which ones have faded, which ones have caught his interest. you might find something you like there.

good luck!
