I don't want to know which podcasts you listen to, but where you find out about them. Bonus points to people who know of scholarly ("peer-reviewed") resources, journals, reviews, websites. Trying to help out a friend who wants to write reviews of podcasts, of a wide variety of subjects. I could help him out for music but didn't know other than that.

You have to go through a lot of crap before you find those rare gems.
My best source of finding podcasts is from the podcasts I enjoy.
If you enjoy someones work, usually they have good taste in what they listen to.
As far as resources I know of:
You have http://www.podcastalley.com/ which has a lot of podcasts listed but their top podcast lists do tend to get gamed a lot and are unreliable as far as quality goes.
Also http://www.podcast.com/
There are few more listed on this FAQ: http://www.podcastfaq.com/finding-pod...
Google the topic you're interested in and the word podcast. When you find one, then search for reviews about it, or give an episode or two a listen (try not to start with the first episode if you're just listening to see if you'll enjoy it).
I'm looking for more scholarly resources, not just website listings if that makes sense.
I'm pretty sure what's being asked for is scholarly works on podcasting as a medium. I've never heard of anything like that. There's no journal I know of regarding podcasting. I don't hear about podcasts, I hear about people who happen to also do podcasts. I found out about Writing Excuses by visiting Brandon Sanderson's website. same for SF Squeecast, and Grammar Girl. Everything else I listen to are BBC and NPR radio shows I found on iTunes.
Saw a Ted Talk once that seemed to apply, went there and searched on Social Media. Found a lot more than I expected. You might find something useful there as a place to start.http://www.ted.com/search?cat=ss_all&...
