Around The Podosphere (ATP): March 14, 2007

Thanks to all of you for actually reading this vs. listening. I think I'm starting to get the message (based on audience response) that you would rather read my reviews than listen. I'll take that under consideration.

ATP: March 14, 2007

Only THREE podcasts downloaded. What's up podosphere? Can't keep up with me?

1. Buzz Out Loud 3-12-2007: The prerecorded gang interviews sex columnist Regina Lynn. They talk porn and Blu Ray vs HD-DVD. Lynn brings up and interesting point that I never thought of. Everyone touts the VHS vs. BETA (god I loved beta) wars being settled by porn. Now there are so many options including the internet for pornographic content that the DVD wars might simply not be an issue today. Instead, porn may be pointing the way for the "average" user to the web, not to a plastic disc. Only time will tell. I hate to say it, but if BOL did more interviews rather than a "news wrap up" format, I think I would enjoy it better.

2. Buzz Out Loud 3-13-07: This has to be my favorite podcast to date for BOL. In "The Generic Podcast 2.0" edition of the show. Prerecorded Tom and Veronica manage to pretty much wrap up almost every major story in a very general way. My favorite was Apple will come out with a new product at a conference, or a MacWorld, or just some random Tuesday. This is a MUST DOWNLOAD (my new highest recommendation) for everyone. It's short and very funny.

3. MacBreak Weekly 33: Leo and the gang (that would be a bad band combination) talk about the various "Get a mac" ads in different countries as well as a great discussion of why .Mac sucks. Many "rat holes" are ventured down as well. MBW is starting to become my replacement for TWIT. I'm enjoying it so much more. Does anyone else get the feeling that TWIT is starting to want to be like MBW? I don't think that the TWIT formula should be modified to be more MBW like. It's starting to show signs of heading in that direction (unfortunately).
