Ok, here’s something interesting. Possibly the most bookwormy subject you could dig up: etymology. Possibly the hottest host you could dig up: Marina Orlova. Package them together in an RSS feed and you have one of the most brilliant uses for podcasting ever invented. Man or woman, you will not be able to look away while this eastern European beauty tells you in her own ultra-flirtatious way, how words and phrases like “the birds and the bees” or “horny” came from. I dare you to watch just one episode… She’s like a Lay’s potatoe chip, you can’t stop at one no matter how hard you try.

Welcome back to the Podcast Guide’s Friday show from DailySplice.com. Today is Friday, and this is what we’ve got for you:

Tip of the Week:

Ever heard the term micro-podcasting? It’s basically like micro-blogging except for audio. While back, I wrote a post reviewing a number of services that let you micro-podcast using a phone. These services included:

• Cinch
• Gabcast
• GCast
• Hipcast

Cute Podcasters:

It’s a lot easier to have a popular podcast when you’re cute (which is why our podcast is so popular). This, of course, goes for video podcasts more than audio. Who do you think is the cutest podcaster?
