Despite podcasts being on the interweb for at least 7 years, many of my friends (some are tech savvy, some not) are still not utilizing this really useful medium. Even for those who listen to podcasts, they only have around 1 or 2 in their iTunes podcast subscriptions list. Am I the only person in my social group who listen to more than 2 podcasts?
Here is the list of podcasts that I subscribe to. Perhaps you'll find your podcasts in it?
- ALT.NET
- Autosport
- Battlestar Galactica
- Formula 1 Video
- Friday Night Comedy from BBC Radio 4
- GeekBrief.TV
- Hanselminutes
- HDTV and Home Theater
- The Kindle Chronicles
- MacBreak (HD Video)
- MacBreak Weekly
- MacBreak Tech
- Security Now!
- Tennis Pod Pro Video
- This American Life
- ThoughtWorks – IT Matters
- U.S. Senator Barack Obama
- The VFX Show
Similarly, RSS feed has been around for a long time and most of my friends are still not using it to consume news or websites. Currently I subscribe to 59 RSS feeds. Am I just more efficient at consuming news or am I just an information junkie?
I have seriously dropped off on the podcasts I listen to. I used to listen to Leo's This week in tech all the time – but no longer. When RDM actually posts BSG podcasts, I'll listen to those as well. Do Opie & Anthony count? perhaps not.
My current abreviated stable includes: BSG, Jake & Amir, Diggnation, Totally Rad Show, Tiki Bar TV & Tekzilla. I've just now added Security Now & may think about one of the MacBreaks…I've recently trimmed my RSS feeds in Newsgator to about 30, Google reader to a concise 8, and another 2 dozen or so as live bookmarks in Firefox.
