Top Five Podcasts
Podcasting had a big year in 2005 (big enough that Podcast was named Word of the Year). I’ve heard many, but these are my favorite:
- Cinecast- Two guys from Chicago talk about all things cinema with a critical eye, but still manage to keep the show entertaining with bits like Massacre Theater. The guys were also nice enough to mention my name on their blog and on a podcast, that’s worth extra points in my book.
- KCRW’s The Treatment- It’s the west coast version of NPR’s “Fresh Air†but with a better host and more Hollywood-type guests (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sarah Silverman, etc.)
- Security Now- Steve Gibson talks about computer security in terms that “normal†folks will understand while still keeping it interesting to the techies.
- TWIT (This Week In Tech)- Leo Laporte and an every changing cast of technology folks discuss the weekly tech news. It’s always entertaining when John C. Dvorak is on the panel.
- Diggnation- This one usually starts off slow but gets really funny by the end (mainly because they’re drinking beers through the podcast).
