Best English Grammar Podcast and blog - Grammar Girl
One of the first podcasts I subscribed to turned out to be the best one - Grammar Girl talks to me through my iPod every week to correct my grammar habits. Instead of being offended, I enjoy her sessions more than any other podcast so far. She has a great way of explaining seemingly casual grammar issues. She goes deep enough to keep things interesting even for advanced students or native speakers, yet she offers simple mnemotechnics and quick and dirty tips for everyone to improve their daily language.
Quick and dirty tips are not only about grammar, not any more. Many other podcasts are now coming from the same qdnow.com "family". I didn't really explore them all, they're probaly worth checking. But what I can recommend, that is Grammar Girl.
Pros
Regular schedule
Interesting topics (really!)
Witty and rich language
Enthusiastic about her topics
Transcripts with every episode
Funny examples
Guest writers
This podcast really improves your grammar
Cons
Sometimes a bit too much of (announced) advertising
Some example hard to follow (but there is always the transcript)
Listening to podcast about grammar a bit unusual at first
