I've been podded twice. The first time happened a month or two after release. I was flying along in my Punisher, semi-away-from-keyboard on my way to somewhere, completely naive and n00bish. As I approached a jumpgate (can't remember where) I was immediately locked up by (IIRC)two M0o cruisers and started receiving incoming fire. I tried warping but they were using scramblers. Then I tried running away from the gate, in hopes of getting out of the scrambler field. No such luck. After a couple of minutes my ship exploded and I was podded. I was pretty mad, but I got over it.
Second time was a few weeks ago. I should have known better than to be dinking around in .4 space without checking the map and being attentive. Completely unaware, I ran right into a Zombie Corp blockade at the Oddelulf jump gate. Hmmmmm...five battleships against my Maller...I decided to make a dash for the gate but they webbified me and demanded 3million ISK. I told them I didn't have it so they destroyed my ship and podded me. Doh! I was pretty mad. That Maller was my first cruiser! It had a lot of sentimental value attached to it. Oh well. Insurance is a lovely thing.

My first and, so far only, podding was while falling asleep drunk on a 4 jump hauling mission in a bestower 
It was quite embarressing.

I've never been podded because people know better than to mess with God.

Got podded the first time when me and 4 other frigates took
out an [EVOL]Dominix at the Keberz gate in HED-GP.
We chased him from the SV5 gate were we had made serious
damage to him and took all his drones, then by some
mysterious reason - Dukah was able to warp to the Keberz-gate
but stupid enough he could not jump through.
I followed him in warp eventhou i was down to 30% armor
and found him having an Instajump so i burned my MWD and
when he realized he could not jump through he activated his
smartbombs, since he was setup for frigate killing.
(didnt help )
I dived in for a quick scramble just enough to keep him
"agro" and not able to jump or warp, the other 4 frigates
came out of warp just after i was podded by a Large Plasma
and they finished the jobb .
I¦d say a rifter for 250k is a good sacrifise for a 60M ship.

Painfull, but i went down fighting 5 enemy battleships + cruiser support...
Pie lost one bs out of 3 and held the pator/yulai gate Minnie scum lost 1 bs and fled the field so it was a glorious defeat for me  .
Strange thing was the mk2 golan mined and started doing agent missions after that...so beware cloning isnt without its problems.

I am not a clone.
There are no:
1-Safe spots
2-Ore thieves
3-Corp thieves
Just people that do not understand game mechanics.

First time:
I thought I was escaping the husk of noobie-dom when I began running missions into <0.5 space. Yep, I was a tough-as-nails, hard-drinkin, wife-has-left-me, the-lieutenant-is-on-my-ass Rifter privateer running courrier and kill missions into systems only the insane or suicidal would travel. That's where Jus2awsome and a friend of his found me.
Upon entering Tabbetzur, my autotargeting went off, and this strange blue glow surrounded me. I thought the blue glow was kinda cool but that targeting sound disturbed me. Whao! What was that flash? Where did my shields go? What was that system msg that appeared on my screen - I missed it. Someone wants to chat with me? Ok, in a second, cuz I have to figure out what's going on here... Hey! Someone is shooting me! Ok, stay calm dammit! Yikes! My armour is... I have to get the hell out of here! My ship won't respond! What the?! Hey! My... my pod... And what's with the blue glow again? And again with the system message: "Jus2awsome is trying..."
After a few moments of shock, I've accepted the chat with my aggressor. He asked me how much my life was worth to me. I wanted to regain some composure and tried to say something pithy and full of bravado. "Quit wasting my time" was all I could muster.
Ah the bright light...

Truamatic. Had a serious sick pc that kept ctding me. I got wasted by Moo in 0.0 space. Sick puppy he was even wated till i was back online to shot my pod. Betya he was laughing his arse off.
I just reckon he was soooo big and brave to waste someone offline. Next time was easier, Tundragons i think, my Maller vs a Raven...lol had no chance, but at least i got to fight as i went down.

in a rifter, chased a dude in a rifter through catch for a bit. finally caught him, got a web on and launched the cruises, as they got close he hit his smartbomb and took them out (i was impressed). it went to guns and missiles and i nailed him, then me being a dumbass didn't see his last missile and it put me in a pod.
i'm 30 jumps from home, couldn't be bothered to bookmark it back so i hang around at the gate waiting for a clone jump. in jumps lord zap himself and him being what he is couldn't resist a pod sitting there. he locked and started firing away and couldn't hit me at all. i started taunting him saying he was a cr@p shot and so on so he launched the cruises and i got my trip home courtesy of a paradise cruise. i don't count that as a death because i was just being lazy so i haven't been killed yet 
lord zap is a lousy shot.

first time: in CA space i thik, wanted to do some ninja mining but didn't find anyting good, and i was one jump from empire when this i guy i had got through before (MWD'ing) was camping the gate. i activated my MWD a second too late and i was scrambled and webbed and had no hope.
nest was in the immensea region, with hostile forces outside the station. i though there were only intercepters out there so i undocked, lagged badly, had a bettleship lock me, i had a screen with my pod with 1/3 strucure for about 5 mins before i was in the station. worst part about that is that i forgot to take the cruise missiles skill i had been hauling up (as welll as all my heavy missiles) out of my hold |

My only (so far) podding happened way back before many people had cruisers. I was flying my empty brand new bestower to our base in 0.0 when I see these red dots at the gate. It was a small gang of Red Corsairs; I think only one of them was in a cruiser. Well, I thought my speedy Bestower could make it through their blockade. I came fairly close when it exploded and I found myself in a pod. I began to type a question asking why they blew up my ship when they took out my pod.
I was so green back then, it never occured to me that they would even consider blowing up my pod.
I came so very close to being podded a couple of weeks ago. I just restarted playing EVE a couple of weeks ago, and the only real assests I had were some random stuff I had left deep inside Curse. I figured I could make it their in a shuttle. It got shot up a bit, but I managed to make it to our old base. I packed the Bestower that was there full of some odds and ends and stuff that was in the corp recycle hanger. Fitted it was some afterburners and overdrives, and headed back to emp space.
I found out that Indy's were not as fast as they used to be and I am not sure wether I mounted frigate afterburners on it or not. I made it through one blockade after loosing half my armor and was only a few jumps to freedom.
At the last gate, they were waiting and well prepared. My corp mates advised me to go somewhere safe and try to get through when there were less guarding the gate, but I didn't listen. Heedless, I rushed straight at the gate afterburners helping as much as they could. I had enough speed I was confident I was going to make it! I had never had the pleasure of being webbed before. I watched my speed plummet and was notfied that I was also warp scrambled. Then, the rain of missles started impacting on my poor bestower. There was naught else to do but creep slowly towards the gates, knowing I would not quite make it to gate. My ship exploded and I found myself in a pod again, this time however, I immediately navigated to the gate. I saw the missles impact just as I jumped. No pod for you Curse Alliance! At least I learned something from the first time I was podded.

was a really, um, fair fight.
somewhere in OR, map showed no people 10 jumps ahead. i proceed to the next system only to find a crow waiting for my hoarder full of bistot. web, scramble, cruise missles, pod ... somehow the autopilot fails me and i cant warp away. pod might be scrambled at that stage, not sure.
hey zincol, i want my corpse back !

One day I look at the corporations list and I find one which has 2 stations which are the only 2 stations of the region, the 2 stations are even in the same system and all the agents level I to V are in these 2 stations...
So I thought... it would be quite cool to do all the missions in the same system! Of course the said system is in 0.0 but it is a detail ^^.
So I take a shuttle and head to Geminate... Forsaken Empire blockade awaits for me... destroys the shuttle but the pod makes it through the gate with 0 armor and 0 hull!
So after 20 boring jumps in 0.0 I arrive in the system. Agents don't want to talk to me and it is full of pirates players. I do a quick visit on the belts and I see all is mined to the last roid...
Then I thought it was better to go back in empire space, I asked one of the pirates to pod me (so I don't have to jump 20 more times to finish poded at the frontier), he did it^^. That was the first and only time I died.
