I tried out some Mac podcasts today. The first one I tried was the Inside Mac Games podcast ( iTunes URL). It was so retarded (pardon my unPCness)
The radio hosts were just laughing and joking with another the whole time, like a typical college frat. I want the hosts to make me want to take the show seriously and be informed with some cool information. I don't download a mac podcast to listen to jokes and laughter.

While you may not like the content, someone else may. Also, there is a nice variety... so I'm sure if you keep looking, you will find something interesting.

I don't understand why somebody might like that? I like to listen to laughing etc when I'm with my friends and we're joking around. Why wouldn't somebody want to listen to a podcast for the purpose of learning something new?

Some people listen to the radio and watch the television to be informed. Some do it to be entertained. In fact, most do it do be entertained.
Anyway, how serious do you expect a program about games to be?

You are saying it as to suggest that informative material can be entertaining at the same time, or visa versa?

I'm saying most people would like a little information with their entertainment. That's why the most-watched thing on TV is American Idol and the most listened-to thing on the radio is Howard Stern — people want to be entertained first and foremost, even if it's pretty much devoid of substance. This is the same reason that many newspapers nowadays will have lead stories that are 90 percent infoboxes and illustrations. It's kind of a cultural attention deficit disorder.

Because laughter is contagious. They know this. Most of what they say is scripted anyhow, and not funny to them. But they ACT like it is, and laugh to get you to also laugh.
"Ah ahahha see how funny we are"
Along the same lines as a laugh reel.

Note to self: never laugh on my podcast again. People don't like that.
Then again, we didn't get to #17 on the iTunes A&E list, or featured on the Games list because we suck.
Ok, scratch that...keep laughing.

All laughter is not the same.
Laughter is not a substitute for content.
If people are laughing and genuinely having a good time, it is contagious.
If they aren't, it isn't.

Do you hear constant and moronic laughing on regular radio? Then why should it be acceptable on podcast radio show?
Podcast, as blogs, lessens the quality of material broadcasted and published by removing minimal rules that applies with a traditional and regulated media. You wouldn't see "LOL" and "OMG" every two sentences in a printed media.
It is unprofessional. But eh, it's the Internet!

I think these are the keywords here. Regular media hire real journalists to do their jobs. Podcast and blogs enabled any Joe Somebody or college frats with a computer to pretend they are journalists, thus producing this kind content. Some are good, most are junk...
