my favorite podcasts

I'm not a huge talk radio fan, but there are a few shows that I follow. I first heard about podcasting when some of the the old cast from the screensavers started their own network of shows.
  • Xbox Lives Major Nelson - The director of programming for Xbox Live has his own pod-cast. It's really well produced, and he always has something interested to talk about that's going on with Xbox Live.
  • Bungie.net - The developers for the Halo games have started their own weekly show. I'm a big Halo fan, and it's great to have an official podcast straight from Bungie.
  • This Week in Tech - This show is from the old TechTV regulars. They recap the latest goings on in the technology scene. It's great to see what Leo Laporte and Patrick norton are up to. I use to have to use the old crappy satellite tv (the kind you had to wait for the dish to rotate to pick up different channels) that came with our house to check out their show.
  • Macbreak Weekly - another TWIT production, but for Apple related news. Merlin Mann is a frequent host on it, who runs the 43folders website that I like so much.
There's other podcasts that I follow releases of but I don't actually listen to. I use netnewswire to download shows then import them to itunes from there. That way I can pick and choose exactly what I want to listen to, and I don't have to download all of them so I save some space.
