The Science of Better is a good applied math podcast. Features applications of operations research to practical problems.

Peter Rowlett has a couple mathematical podcasts. Travels in a Mathematical World produced 64 episodes, but recently stopped. He has a new podcast Math / Maths that he co-hosts with Samuel Hansen.
Samuel Hansen also has a couple other podcasts: Strongly Connected Components and Permutations and Combinations. Strongly Connected Components is more mathematical and often features interviews. I've only listened to Permutations and Combinations once or twice. I believe it's more of a comedy show.

MAA podcast has an archive. http://www.maa.org/audio%20clips/podcast/podcast.html I think it has stopped producing new ones.

I would like to draw attention to the beautifully produced podcast Relatively Prime hosted by Samuel Hansen, which was funded through a successful kickstarter campaign. All eight episodes are well worth a listen and include interviews with some very high profile and influential mathematicians.

I have a math podcast called the Life and Math Podcast (LaMP). I interview mathematicians from a wide variety of backgrounds to learn about
- Their path in life from high school to where they are now, and
- The math they do.
Each interview is released as 2 episodes, a "Life" and a "Math". It's up as audio or video format.
So far I've had a former WWE-style pro wrestler, a guy who dropped out of undergrad to join the Army, and a prof who didn't get into a single college or university who all became mathematicians.
The audio is available on most podcast hosts (apple, spotify, etc). Here's a link to the podcast on soundcloud.
The video version is on Youtube (link to Youtube channel). I also make instructional videos on topics that come up in the interview which can be found on the Youtube channel. Things like "What are categories, functors, & natural transformations?". Enough to help students follow along with the interviews.
Everything can also all be found at https://lifeandmath.com. Roughly one interview every 1-2 weeks.
More or Less is a BBC Radio 4 programme about maths and statistics in the news, and there is a free podcast. It's presented by Tim Harford, the Undercover Economist from the Financial Times.
