I listen regularly to:

Wordballoon podcast by John Siuntres
One on one chats with creators. John delves into creators backgrounds and inspirations with a depth that I enjoy. Also, his day job is in radio, from what I pick up listening to the podcasts, so the quality is quite professional. Usually about an hour long.

Fanboy Radio
A weekly broadcast radio show out of Texas with (usually) two hosts. About 2/3'ds interview with other stuff (reviews, call-ins, etc.) filling out the hour.

Comic Geek Speak
These guys churn out 3 podcasts a week. Usually hour and a half episodes. Half the time is interviews, the rest is reviews, call-ins, responses to email, and discussion betwwen the up to 5 hosts. They also have special episodes focusing on a trade of the month, Infinite Crisis specials, and movie commentary. My only gripe with Comic Geek Speak is the lack of balance in audio levels between the numerous hosts and guest. I listen to them on the bus and sometimes I have to turn it up so much to hear the most quiet of the commentators that when the loudest person in the mix comes on it blasts my eardrums. Only one or two episodes have been so bad that I couldn't listen in a place with any background noise, though. All the rest have been decent enough.

Fanboy Radio is work safe, but the other two feature occasional bad language.

I found them all by searching 'comic book' or 'comics' in ITunes podcast directory. There are a ton more listed there as well. Each show listed above also has their own website as well.
Hope you find something you like!
