I'm surprised to see that it appears that there wasn't a lot of
discussion about museum podcasts.  I've been thinking about
museum-related podcasts a lot lately (I'm on contract with an
institution I have a lot of passion for, and the boss and I have been
discussing podcasts and the potential of like-content for said
institution lately).

Have you discovered the Museum Detective yet?  That's probably one of
my favourites, Joanna Cobley's done some pretty interesting topics in
the show's 70-something episodes.  Looks like her show blog is pretty
neat, too (www.museumdetective.com).  I've also enjoyed the V&A's
podcasts, though they don't seem to be generating a lot of new content
lately.
