Good Podcasts

Hi Scott - I’m talking off my vmware hat (not that I’ve blogged much about it lately) for this comment… As I think I may have told you before, I’m a huge fan of Dave Ramsey. He podcasts his radio show and it ranks pretty high in the iTunes business section. Good stuff - for anybody to listen to. He gives great financial advice and most importantly HOPE! Also, check out problogger.net - that guy does a weekly video post, not exactly a podcast, though. Good stuff on blog optimization. Our best to you and your wife. Jim & Tina

Try the Twit network for great quality podcast covering a nice selection of topics. Very consumer oriented. http://twit.tv

Well, to date I haven’t found anything compelling regarding Virtualisation podcasts, but I have found that there a ton of entertaining ones that have replaced by radio use. NPR and the CBC have quite a number of republished shows which are more convenient to listen to via podcast if your time usage doesn’t match perfectly with the broadcast schedules.

The Apple world has a number of entertaining one as well, MacBreak Weekly being an amusing collection of pundits from the Twit network.

And there’s a ton of stuff that would never meet the FCC requirements on the NSFW front like Pacific Coast Hellway.

On the practical side, there’s a great video podcast for learning Ruby on Rails called Railscasts which is worth visiting if you’re interested.

Here’s the ones I subscribe to and listen to almost every episode. I use them for education and entertainment when I can’t read, or need something more stimulating than just reading. I get a LOT out of this method of input, more than a guy who loves to read should, it will surprise you, I’m guessing.

I’ve noted which are Video, while not many, I follow them very closely while on the plane or in situations where I can sit and watch for a short time.

The only tech podcasts I listen to are the OnPodcast series. I subscribe to OnNetworking, but honestly it hasn’t really taught me anything, just a tip here or there.

Aside from tech, I really like video game podcasts. The 1UP Yours show is my favorite, I look forward to it every week.

There are some podcasts as well as downloads and free education links: http://education.jimmyr.com/

Scott,
I listen to three…
John Piper Sermon Podcast
Mars Hill Church Sermon Podcast (Seattle)
12 Byzantine Rulers (Random, but interesting for some reason)

Nothing in the tech or virtual category mainly because I listen to these while driving and I don’t want to fall asleep.

Scott,

Microsoft puts out a ton of podcasts on Technet Radio.
