Favorite Podcasts (Revisited)

November 16, 2005 by debbie T | Mac Corner • Podcasting

Now that I have been listening to podcasts for several months now, I have a better idea of which podcasts I really like, which ones I don’t like, and which ones I still subscribe to, but don’t listen to. Most of my favorites are Mac podcasts, and all but one are Tech podcasts.

For those that are unfamiliar with the term “podcast” you can find a definition at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast

I will start with a list of the podcasts I listen to on a regular basis. These are the ones that I listen to fairly quickly as soon as a new show arrives in my iTunes folder.

* This Week in Tech – http://www.thisweekintech.com/
* The Mac Attack – http://themacattack.us/
* The Mac Cast – http://www.maccast.com
* Command N – http://www.commandn.tv (video cast)
* Diggnation – http://revision3.com/diggnation (video cast)
* Leo Laporte – the KFI Tech Guy – http://leoville.tv/radio/pmwiki.php
* Security Now – http://www.grc.com/securitynow.htm
* Inside Mac Radio – http://www.osxfaq.com/radio/ ( I like the daily shows a little more than the weekly Saturday show)
* O’Reilly Network Podcasts – http://odeo.com/channel/7931/view
* MacWord – http://www.macworld.com/topics/podcasting/index.php

This next list includes the podcasts I subscribe to, but don’t always listen to as quickly as the first list.

* Screencasts Online – http://www.screencastsonline.com/ (this is an excellent visual tutorial podcast, I wish I had more time to catch up and watch them all. They are excellent detailed tutorials.)

I started a podcast page over at delicious:

Vote for your favorite podcasts at http://www.podcastalley.com/ – it is also a good place to find podcasts in different categories. I like searching here much better than on iTunes. iTunes search is deplorable.
