I am obsessed with listening to Podcasts as I do my daily 45+ minute commute into work everyday. I could listen to my vast music collect or even XM radio, but instead I tend to listen to people talking about subjects I think are cool.
Well, here is the top 5 list I have to get loaded onto my Ipod every week.
#5 Slate Magazine Gabfest. This is a great political podcast that has three interesting reporters talking about the issues of the week. They have a daily one but I only listen to the Friday extended version.
#4 Leo Laporte Radio Show. This is a re-broadcast of Leo's syndicated weekend radio call-in show. He is always on top of things and I keep up to date with what is hot in tech. This is the weakest Tech podcast but it is like listening to background music for me in the car. This is part of the Leo's TWIT network.
#3 Net@nite. This "netcast" is another Leo show that he does weekly with Amber MacArthur. It has guests with the hottest people in the web 2.0 world. The vibe of the show is much cooler then his radio show and also talks about what is hot that week on the web.
#2 TWIT (This week in Tech). The granddaddy of all the podcasts Leo does. He has been doing this show for over 2 years and I must of listened to about 75% of them. Leo is joined with his old "tech TV" gang of Patrick Norton and John C. Dvorak.
#1 This American Life. OK, so this radio show from Chicago gets to me. I think Ira Glass (the host and creator) is the best storyteller I have ever heard. He get real basic people to tell stories that reach out and touch you. This story this week was a re-broadcast of a stores from people who were held in GETMO. It won a Peobody award. Great show.
