What are your favorite audio podcasts focused on the Xbox 360?
I'm looking for more interesting talk about games, less "banter" between overtalking cohosts and inside jokes. Are there awesome game-focused Xbox 360 podcasts out there? Any suggestions would be welcome, and doubly welcome if you give an idea of why you like your recommended podcast!

I like to play Call of Duty, and there were about a dozen episodes created of a podcast called Host Migration that I enjoyed. If you don't play Call of Duty, you probably won't enjoy it, though.

The show predates the 360 and is not actually an official podcast of Microsoft.The show predates the 360 and is not actually an official podcast of Microsoft.
Eh, I listen to his podcast occasionally (read: when I have nothing else to listen to) but they always get a little too excited about everything coming out for the Xbox. They aren't reviewers, nor do they claim to be, but I just don't find the podcast very interesting, they gush about how great the games are and then talk about sous vide cooking.
Bitmob's Mobcast has very little banter, but they talk more about gaming trends rather than specific games, usually.
Weekend Confirmed is great, the hosts are able to speak intelligently about games, especially Jeff Cannata.
Gamers With Jobs is intelligent discussion but they focus on PC games, and only lightly touch on big name console games.
It's full of in-talk and whatnot, but I have to recommend the Giant Bombcast. It's just too damn good to pass up. My favorite podcast hands-down.

Response by poster: Huh. I really thought there would be a bunch of Xbox-specific podcasts of which I was simply unaware. Rats.
Much thanks for the suggestions that were made though, Mefites!
