Startalk Radio with Neil de Grasse-Tyson.

I also like the TMRO weekly space news broadcasts. Although not professional "funny" people, the tone is lighthearted and banter filled -

Domestic Science was good but it was only on iPlayer briefly for some reason. Maybe it's available elsewhere ...

Dubland podcast for mindless ramblings. Don't judge them on their recent couple, they're doing rushed ones just to keep them regular whilst they move.

The Skeptics Guide to the Universe for science stuff.

Car Talk is ace too, not so much for information but entertainment.

On a science theme there are a few options available from How Stuff Works.
Stuff you should know
Stuff to blow your mind
Stuff you missed in History class
etc
