I'm looking for some recommendations! I'd prefer something about the actual creative process, but podcasts about industry news or the publishing process are welcome too!
Writing Excuses has been recommended to me, but I haven't taken the time to listen to it yet!
Want to talk about your project? Head on over to the Writers Corner! If you have a question about writing, then head on over to Research! Is your question not big enough to warrant its own thread? Ask away in Little Details!
I'll echo @Evander's recommendation of Writing Excuses! I haven't listened to it as much lately partly because of time and partly because they made some changes to the format that weren't my favorite and become more political than I'm comfortable with (but YMMV on that), but the first 10 seasons are great stuff on a really wide variety of topics.
They really go in deep on the elements of storywriting and crafting stories, using examples from their own books as well as others' to illustrate what they're talking about. They actually categorize the episodes based on how "crunchy" they are - how deep they take the analysis in that episode. So you can listen to anything from a quick overview of several topics to a really in-depth discussion of a particular trope or aspect of writing.
We're all stories in the end.

After adding Writing Excuses to my library I found PubCrawl as a suggested podcast and it looks promising as more of an about the industry and for the publishing process podcast. I'll give it a listen this weekend and come back with my thoughts
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading. — Edward Hirsch
