  • One Minute Tip | Website | Podcast Station
    • tech tips
    • 1 min once per week
    • a quick and informitive how to tip about a web 2.0 tool, computer feature, gadget, or anything else geeks like to interact with.
    • a 50% increase in your geek productivity
  • Windows Vista Is Here To Stay | Website | Podcast Station
    • technology
    • The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly about the operating system everyone loves to hate. The podcast tends to evangelize Vista. One truth he points out and I think you mentioned this too, Rian, is that Vista seems to work really well for people that are just learning how to use a computer. It’s the power users in the tech community that have most of the complaints. Nonetheless it’s a good podcast with a ton of great info about using Vista’s features.
    • 2 service packs
  • WeatherBug | Website | Podcast Station
    • weather
    • 2 min daily
    • a 2 minute overview of the entire weather status of the United States of America on any given day from their own in house meteorologist
    • 80% chance of awesomness
  • A Quiet Time Podcast | Website | Podcast Station
    • music
    • A very downbeat and soothing podcast. It’s about half an hour long, and they play music from different artists each show. Sounds like it’s broadcast by the hermit fisherman that lives by the seaside. It’s very well-done, easy to listen to, if a tad depressing.
    • 6 solemn memories
  • APM: Marketplace Morning Report | Website | Podcast Station
    • finance
    • 7.5 min on weekdays
    • all the news the guys in the office next to us scream and shout about all day until the bell finnally rings at 1pm pacific time
    • 150$ per barrel
  • Poll Positions | Website | Podcast Station
    • politics
    • A service of CBS News, Kathleen Frankovic rattles off some numbers from the recent exit polls of US voters. Clearly targeted at enthusiastic voters in the US, this show was very hard for me to pay attention to. Us Canadians just want the 30000-foot view, not the details. However, if you are one of ‘dem yanks and want the nitty-gritty and hard numbers, listen up to this one.
    • 18 blue states
  • Future Tense | Website | Podcast Station
    • Tech Issues
    • 5 min weekdays
    • Kind of tech news, but more of a commentary than all the other tech news podcasts. not to-the-minute, but an interesting perpective on a relativly current tech related issue
  • This Ain’t Iowa | Website | Podcast Station
    • travel
    • Banter and discussion about all things Vegas. If you live in or near Vegas, or are thinking about going there, these guys will tell you what’s hot… eventually. There certainly is a lot of filler. That’s the one criticism I have about it. Otherwise, it’s an entertaining way to spend half an hour.
    • queen-high flush. I was gonna rate it 4 aces, but I was concerned that would be too corny.

Just One More Book (re-run!)

October 17th, 2008

Just One More BookToday on the Podcast Guide we have an interview with Mark and Andrea, the hosts of the popular children’s book podcast Just One More Book. Just One More Book has reviews of books that are done in a coffee shop in Ontario as well as interviews with children’s book authors and illustrators. You wont be able to find a better childrens book podcast than this anywhere, and probably wont be able to find better children’s book reviews and interviews anywhere outside of podcasting either. Mark is also a passionate podcast enthusiast and co-host of the Canadian Podcast Buffet. If you’ve got kids, or you are a kid, or at least you feel like one, be sure to add this podcast to your list of favorites.

Here are some links JOMB and the other podcasts mentioned in this interview:

October 13th, 2008

Hi, and thanks for checking out today’s podcast guide! On Mondays we review as many podcasts as we can in 5 minutes, so hopefully you’ll find one or two new shows to check out. This week we are going to try something new… to not record so many podcasts! We love doing shows every day, and we know you love listening, but we’ve decided to cut 2 of our days. We’ll still be releasing our popular interviews on Wednesday, and following up with a spotlight on Friday. Let us know what you think of the new plan! This week we’ve got an interview with History According to Bob, so be sure to check in again on Wednesday for that. Here are some links to the shows we talked about today:

Traveler’s Journal Interview (re-run!)

October 10th, 2008

Traveler's JournalThe Traveler’s Journal is one of the highest quality travel podcasts on the Internet with probably the most episodes than any other travel podcast. It’s only a minute and a half long, so it’s a perfect show to add to your splice. If you’re a podcaster, or you’re interested in podcast, you will find this interview especially intriguingly. The producer, David Bear, has been doing these kinds of recordings since before there was even such a term as podcast. He originally started the Traveler’s Journal for the radio, which was broadcast internationally. Now he produces a number of great shows including the Tai Chi Power Hour and a whole porfolio of podcasts over at the Pittsburg Post-Gazette called the Pittsburg Hear and Now podcasts. He’s got some tips for podcasters and some educated opinions about the medium. Enjoy the interview!
