Just wondering who here listens to podcasts and what are your favorites? I like Leo Laporte's shows, and the Engadget podcast.

Also does anyone in here make there own podcasts. I have one called Singularity at my website. Here is the rss feed. It is all about physics.

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

I really enjoy the Engadget one, as well as Leo's. The two best ones out there, I think.

Engadget Podcasts

I create my own podcast. It's basically a twice weekly show of the best tunes you'll ever hear. Mostly rock, some country such as Waylon Jennings, some Hip Hop, a llittle bit of everything. But most importantly, I choose songs that are rare gems. Something most people have never heard but are some of the rockinest stuff out there. It's made at home with Garageband and iTunes. Here's the link to my website:

and here is the link to my podcast (to subscribe to it):

The MacCast is by far the best all around Mac PodCast. It covers everything from rumors, to how-to's, tips, news, software updates, cool apps, etc. It is published a few times a week and is a great quality and very professional show. Here's the link. http://maccast.blogspot.com/

I was thinking, if anyone wants to make an instantly successful PodCast, just copy the style of the SlashdotReview PodCast http://slashdotreview.com/ where they just read all the slashdot articles for the day, but do it for The Drudge Report and give at least a small summary, if not full audio for each story.

Lastly, if you find a podcast you like be sure to vote for it at http://www.podcastalley.com

I use iPodderX for my podcast software. I'm sure they all do it, but I like how it adds the podcast to iTunes in it's own playlist. Makes it easy to find Leo's new shows.

Besides Leo, I also listen to Inside Mac Radio. I skip through a lot of that because it's mainly just people plugging crap. I've tried listening to MacCast, Engagdet and Dawn & Drew, but didn't like any of them.

I have a bunch of other podcasts that I download, but I don't have time to listen to. I listen to MP3s of Howard Stern and Opie & Anthony everyday. That's quite a few hours of radio right there.
