I'm looking for any PHP/programming podcast episodes which specifically talk about PHP classes and objects. Maybe this is too specific but any reference is ok.
BTW, are there any dedicated podcasts for PHP beginners?
A:
Podcasts are for gossip not for learning a new language. If you want to learn read the PHP documentation.

Please, that's a rather elitist statement. I've found railscasts.com to be invaluable in learning Ruby on Rails, I'm sure there are some hands-on PHP podcasts out there that help get your feet wet with PHP Object Oriented programming.

I stand for my words. Read the docs! Thousand of PHP developers did it before you.

Irrelevant. Did you read a dictionary to learn english? There are many valid avenues to learn how to program. Class instruction, podcast instruction, videos, DVDs, tutuorials, books and so on. I use php.net frequently for reference but this is a perfectly valid question from someone who has found an instruction method that he believes is useful for him.

@Elzo Valugi: As a former PHP developer who did learn by reading the documentation, I'm all for the OP's quest to find learning materials that fit the way he learns best. Why in the world would you consider choice and variety a bad thing?

Variety has nothing to do with it. I just dont consider podcasts a valid method of learning a programming language, especially for a beginner. You may get some concepts through it, but without proper effort put in READING and WRITING CODE I dont think you can learn it.

This tutorial and set of videos seems to match your question: Object Oriented PHP for Beginners.
