I have been watching podcasts for about six months now. I will go to ITunesU and download free mathematics lectures from MIT or NJIT. I have been using them to review for the Praxis II exam. Since I cannot remember how to do everything that is required for the exam, I use these podcasts as a reminder.
As for education, this evening I have found two subscriptions that I think might help me in the classroom. One of the subscriptions is "Mathematics in My World". It is training tool for Algebra I and II students. Another subscription with these students in mind is "MathClass101". There are other podcasts that work with Calculus, Statistics, and math I am clueless about. However, I am looking at Algebra I and II because I have been notified that I will be working with Discovery Middle School, P-H-M School Corp. for my student teaching. It will be these courses and general mathematics topics that I will be concentrating on during student teaching.

Good job using them for yourself. That's a nice way to see ways of using them in your class.
