The key thing is not to get dependent on headphones, as you won't be able to use them in races (yay for DQs!)
It's all horses for courses. I use music when running in town, nothing when running in the countryside. I find that hard, driving, rhythmic music (metal, rock, hip hop) is great for keeping you pushing for hours on end - it's just drippy stuff that makes the pace drop (trying to push up a hill to one of Nick Drake's more sensitive moments doesn't really work).
Never tried podcasts, but may give them a go for longer runs. Feel I'm getting stupider these days, wouldn't mind a bit of learning while I'm running.
