I like the information and the classroom style way that it is presented in this video podcast. It's high quality and very attractive to look at. The length of the podcasts are decent too. Most are not over 10 minutes, so if you have a few minutes to kill this is a great way to do it.

This is the best cooking podcast. (And I am not a CIA graduate!) I wish these folks ran Food Network. This podcast is not about personalities -- thank God -- it's about the food and how to cook it.
