Top-notch sci-fi podcasts

There's a lot of really good stuff out there. Specifically for sci-fi, I've got three to recommend.

Escape Pod podcast
Steve Eley has the best of the bunch. Good production values, good stories, good readers. Lots of variety.
James Patrick Kelly's Free Reads podcast
Kelly's stories read by the author. Nothing fancy but recorded on good equipment so the sound is good. And the stories are excellent. Kelly also publishes some free, written reads at his website.
Cory Doctorow's podcast
Again, the author reading his own stuff. The audio quality isn't the best because Doctorow records catch-as-catch-can in cabs and hotel rooms and airports as he trots the globe. Sometimes the audio quality detracts a bit from the story but Doctorow is at the top of the field just now. Most of Doctorow's recent work has been released as freely readable/downloadable with links available at his website.
