So here’s my list of the best technology related audio and video podcasts. They have been chosen based on how frequently I listen/watch and the quality of the content - that’s informational/analytical and of course how enternaining they are, but not neccesarilly audio quality. Besides, all podcasts have thier bad days of audio quality now and again. So, quick and to the point (and in no particular order)…
Audio
Buzz Out Loud - One of the only podcasts here to be hosted in part by women (which makes a refreshing change), Buzz Out Loud is a lively (daily) podcast that features news, user calls (which are always entertaining) and emails. I first heard about this podcast when one of the hosts, Molly Wood, was a guest host on This Week In Tech (below).
The Linux Linc Tech Show - When the sound quality is good this is an amazing podcast. Featuring guests from Linux distributions and open source software projects it is always an informative show.
The Wizards of Technology - A weekly breakdown of technology news, although recently the weekly shows have been missed and a twice weekly (but shorter) show has been posted.
This Week in Tech (TWiT) - Surely needing no introduction? Started by ex-TechTV hosts and managed by Leo Laporte TWiT is a weekly analysis of tech news and trends. A definate heavy-weight in podcasting.
KFI Tech Guy - Leo Laporte’s weekly call-in radio show broadcast in Los Angeles. Due to this show being on the radio the content is not as in-depth as the others. Although, it is worth it for Leo’s news section at the start and there are some interesting calls.
Security Now - Hosted by Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson this podcast explores all areas of computer and network security. Every fourth show is dedicated to answering user questions. This is a really in-depth podcast with some subjects spanning multiple shows.
The Linux Action Show - Hosted by two guys who migrated from OS X to Ubuntu Linux this show doesn’t take itself too seriously, although it’s always very informative. The show consists of a news section, user emails, and features such as software comparisons and analysis of the various Linux distributions.
Video
CommandN - Released every Monday this video podcast is hosted by Amber MacArthur (who recently left TechTV Canada’s Call For Help) and Mike Laz. Tech news is covered, along with interesting web sites/services.
Diggnation - Covering the most interesting/highly dugg stories from Digg.com, Diggnation consists of beer and tech, the perfect combination.
Cranky Geeks - A weekly half hour rant about the latest tech news hosted by Head Crank John C. Dvorak. The show sometimes has show-length special features such as the MySpace/Blogging special.
DL.tv - Another show hosted by ex-TechTV presenters, DL.tv is a longer show focusing on all forms of consumer technology. Featuring news, reviews, interviews and viewer questions.
Hak.5 - One of the best independent video podcasts, Hak.5 features technology/hardware/programming guides and tutorials, basically anything geek.
