I'm using the PODRUNNER: Intervals First Day to 5K podcasts by DJ Steveboy. The music is so-so, but it gets the job done. I like the way the BPM changes during the walk v. run and it has cues that let you know when to walk/run. It was crazy to keep track when I was listening to regular music and trying to keep the time by myself. I couldn't focus on running/walking, as I was always watching the time.

I am only on Week 2, but I am really enjoying it. I've tried it before and I don't think I've even made it this far. I have REALLY had to push myself. However, it's getting much easier to do. I'm trying to work on controlling my breathing and maintaining form since I am using the treadmill. Hopefully, once I regain my life in August, I can take my runs to the street or track. There is also a Gateway to 8K podcast once you get a handle on the 5K. I may try that one down the road. I need to get over THIS hump first.
