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.

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.

The Dawn & Drew Show is one of the most popular podcasts out there. This husband and wife live on an old farm in Wisconsin and post a few hour long shows each week. You never know what they’ll talk about, but they usually wind up being pretty funny.

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.

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.

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.

The second podcast that I listen to is atually the first podcast I ever downloaded. It’s the show that introduced me to podcasting.
The Tech Guy on KFI airs every Saturday and Sunday on KFI 640AM in Los Angeles. It’s hosted by Leo Laporte, who I’ve mentioned before.
It’s a long one since it’s a whole radio show, but I like to save it for when i don’t have any other podcasts to listen to.

You’ll find that many of the podcasts I listen to originate from the old cast of ZDTV/TechTV. The frontrunner in that group is Leo Laporte. He has several podcasts.
This Week in Tech (or TWiT as it’s known) is the most popular. It consists of many members of the old Screensavers cast and crew. Some regulars include Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, John C. Dvorak, Kevin Rose, Yoshi Deherrera, Roger Chang, David Prager and Robert Heron.
They talk about the latest in tech news and have a fun time doing it. his podcast comes out every Sunday at midnight or so.

Since there hasn’t been much of anything of interest going on lately, I thought I’d talk about podcasting. For those of you who don’t know, podcasting is simply the delivery of audio files (or video) via an RSS feed. Basically it’s audio that’s delivered to you automatically every time the author creates a new episode.
Over the coming days (or weeks) I’ll list all of the podcasts to which I subscribe. I’ll provide their homepage, the feed URL and some comments. Hopefully you’ll find a podcast you didn’t know about.
