What I listen to – Z100 Phone Taps
On the morning show of Z100 in New York they do a bit called Phone Taps. It’s basically prank phone calls, but they get callers to participate in trying to make their friends/relatives, freak out on the phone. Trust me, it’s funnier than it sounds in this description.

What I listen to – Eric & Kathy
Eric & Kathy is the morning show on WTMX 101.9 The Mix in Chicago. They post a podcast of hihlights from their show each day. I think they are pretty funny. It’s mostly a call in show with some celbrity interviews mixed in. Eric’s voice and personality almost reminds me of my favorite talk show host who’s no longer on the air, Casey Bartholemew.

What I listen to – Diggnation
Moving on to other members of the old ZDTV/TechTV cast, here’s a podcast from Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht. I stopped watching what was left of The Screen Savers after TechTV became G4 so I never saw Alex on the show, but he’s pretty entertaining.
The guys spend about 30 mins each week drinking beer and going over the most “dug” stories on Kevin’s site Digg.com.

Another way to help
Donating online is probably still the easiest way to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, but if you live in the Philadelphia area you also have another option.
NBC10 and Wawa are sponsoring a program where you can print out a ccoupon that you can have the cashier at Wawa scan and the donation will be charged to your purchase.

What I listen to – Security Now
So, I said the last one was the last podcast featuring Leo Laporte. Well, I just realized there was one more. It’s a brand new one and there’s only been one episode so far. We’ll see how good it is as time goes one.
This podcast is about computer security. It features Leo along with Steve Gibson from grc.com. I’ve mentioned Steve’s site in previous posts.

What I listen to – Laporte Report
OK, this is the last podcast in the series that stars Leo Laporte. The Laporte Report is just a catch all of random radio interviews that Leo does. You never know what’s going to pop up on this. Anything from Canadian radio shows to podcast interviews can be found here.
