Hands down one of the BEST reggae podcasts out there is BigMikeyDread's ReggaeRadio... BigMikey has a wonderful knowledge of reggae, it's history, artists and labels. I've been a longtime fan and highly suggest it if your also fan of reggae music. Here's a description from his PodOmatic site:
Podcasts of Bigmikeydread's Radio Show. Big Mikey Dread aka Mike Murphy plays Jamaican Music from the 1950s to the Present day. Mento, Ska, Rocksteady, Early Reggae, Roots Reggae, Dub, Dancehall, Modern Roots, Ragga and a whole heap more, including informative chat and enthusiastic sillyness. This podcast on podomatic is downloaded in Jamaica all over the Caribbean and everywhere from China to Iceland, Africa and Peru!

Bigmikeydread is NOT Michael Campbell, aka Mikey Dread, aka DATC. Though Mr. Campbell (who has now passed away)did once say that he was pleased I had taken his name in honour of his good works...
