Apologies that this is in the music forum, but it's the closest I could find.
I listen to the Frank Skinner Absolute radio show as a podcast, and I've just finished listening to all of the old Peacock and Gamble podcasts but I'm struggling to find anything else similar.
What audio podcasts would people recommend - I'd prefer something with people just chatting, nothing that I have to work to concentrate on, and I prefer UK to American.

Infinite Monkey Puzzle
Fighting Talk
Other ones I enjoy are Do the right thing (also panel show), the BBC comedy of the week and Friday night comedy podcasts. Also Richard Herring Leicester Square podcasts and the old XFM Adam and Joe podcasts. Can you tell I love podcasts? I have just started listening to the Crackanory ones too which I really like but do have to concentrate on!
presume you meant "infinite monkey cage" ?
If you enjoy QI , you may also like "No such thing as a fish" presented by the QI elves/researchers
I've just discovered more Peacock and Gamble on Soundcloud from their Fubar radio show (but should definitely come with an adult content warning)
Radiolab from WNYC - brilliantly produced and fascinating subjects
NPR: Ted Radio hour podcast - see above !
Common sense with Dan Carlin - the best podcaster in my opinion
Hardcore History - Dan Carlin - Epic 4 hour episodes on history (makes boring history lessons a thing of the past !)
If you're a bit more open minded it's worth checking out :
The Joe Rogan Experience
London Real
The Doug Stanhope Podcast
Always looking for recommendations myself
http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/kermode
If you like that then try the 'Empire podcast'.
'Answer me this' is good fun, but takes a while to get used to the echoy voice of Martin the sound man.
Also try 'No such thing as a fish', its half an hour of fun/interesting facts from the QI Elves.
I also love Frank Skinner's podcast, laugh out loud every week (which I don't even mind doing on the train!).
Other ones I like are:
Rhod Gilbert's BBC Wales Saturday show podcast (although, sorry Rhod, I prefer it when Korky and Eggsy stand in for Rhod on his hols, they're hilarious!)
The BBC Radio 4 Friday night comedy podcast - The Now Show with Punt & Dennis and The News Quiz with Sandi Toksvig.
Thanks to others who have replied, there's a few there that I'll be looking into
There is a pocast of his weeked show available for the last 4 weeks
