The latest talk (in two parts) is by Chris Aubert. He's the father of two aborted children and he talks about the side of abortion that's seldom discussed -- the role of the father. Do give it a listen:
The SVS International Liturgical Symposium took place on January 29-31, 2009. It featured preeminent theologians from Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant traditions from major universities, and was held in honor of The Rt. Rev. Alexander Schmemann (d. 1983), who served as dean of St. Vladimir’s Seminary for more than twenty years. Fr. Schmemann is best known for his writings on liturgy and sacramental life, which have influenced all branches of Christianity, in the practice of worship as well as in the academic realm.
The keynote speaker was Robert F. Taft, S.J.
Other speakers include:
The Rt. Rev. Archimandrite Job (Getcha)—former Dean of St. Sergius Theological Institute, Paris;

UPDATE: I'm bumping this up to the top. Pat Madrid's talk opens with a discussion about how Scott Hahn entered the visible world of Catholic apologetics. It's worth a listen for you fans of Dr. Hahn's work. I'm definitely subscribing to the Fullness podcast (linked at the bottom).
So...several years ago I started straggling back to the faith I always held (but never knew). A pivotal part of that path was attending a Fullness of Truth conference in Corpus Christi, TX. At the conference I was blessed to hear Fr. Corapi, Fr. Pacwa, Doug Barry and several others speak passionately and forthrightly about the faith.
Wonderfully, the conferences are still being held. If you get a chance -- GO!
All that's to say this: Pat Madrid spoke at one and gave the following lecture entitled "Why Be Catholic when You can be Anything Else?" Now the Fullness of Truth folks have put the talk on their new podcast.
Welcome to the first episodeof the Fullness of Truth podcast. In this episode we share a little bit of the mission of Fullness of Truth in a talk given by Patrick Madrid called Why Be Catholic When you can be anything else.
Welcome back to the Fullness of Truth podcast and the second part of a talk given by Patrick Madrid called Why Be Catholic When you can be anything else.
My name is Bob D’Aurelio and working in conjunction with the National Fellowship of Catholic Men I have just launched a new Catholic podcast for men. It is called “Paul’s Men”. I wonder if you would be so kind as to run the attached one minute promotional mp3. (See www.paulsmen.com)
Well...I actually can't attach MP3s. I don't personally host files, I just link to people who do. Thankfully, you're one of those guys!

I don't know anything about her, but since I found her on the Semper Vita blog I'm positive she'll be top-notch (since the blog offers little else). Also speaking at the conference was Fr. Fessio - so that's another big assurance it will be worth listening to. Here are some links from an Australian student conference:
