Podcasting - throw out your radios!

Podcasting is how I survive the 1 hour commute to work. Think of Podcasting as a radio show that you choose the subject, you load into your iPod (or listen on your computer) and listen to it at a time of your own choosing. You subscribe to your favorite shows, and they get downloaded automatically.

My favorite right now is TWIT (This Week In Technology) hosted by Leo Laporte. It is a very well done round table discussion of everything tech, gadgets, corporate news (What is Google or Microsoft up to?) and everything else. Guests usually include John C. Dvorak, Patrick Norton, Kevin Rose and other tech luminaries. Leo really makes a good moderator, so the show is always moving and interesting.

Security now is also a great listen. Steve Gibson & Leo Laporte talk about computer security. Steve is the one who coined the term Spyware. His web site is a great place to test your computer security using ShieldsUP.

Another great one is Tiki Bar. This one is a 3 minute video show about an appartment turned Tiki Bar, complete with a doctor that prescribes the right cocktail for what ails you. Then again, Lulu is the real reason we all watch it...

Go to iTunes.com and download some great content. Better yet...make your own Podcast and share it with us.
