The number of shows on 5by5 based around "Apple/Something" was approaching parody anyway. By my count, there are 5-6 remaining for your perusal.

I do like 5by5, and use Macs myself, but a toning down of the echo-chamber is not all bad.

Indeed. I listened to Marco Arment, Gruber and Siracusa everyweek. And then Horace Dediu every other week... but I got really tired and started skipping parts or shows altogether because I didnt want to sit through listening the same thing 4 times (ie: Apple v. Samsung, iOS5 launch, Lion launch, etc).

I think i learnt the most with Siracusa and Horace Dediu, but the show with Merlin Mann is the most inspirational.

Back to Work is probably my favourite podcast! It's definitely not an "Apple and stuff" show :)

Yep, that's primarily why it's my favorite as well.

Why so? It's the biggest company in the world, or at least it is sometimes. Apple's a big deal, in a bunch of ways. And most of the tech press is clueless about them.
