  • You Look Nice Today (comedy, long)
  • TWIT (tech news, long)
  • tech5 (tech news, short)
  • In No Particular Order (comedy, long) or The Bugle (comedy, long)
  • Front Page (headline news, short)

    • This list is very similar to June’s.

    It’s not for a lack of exploring. I subscribed to Podcast Alley’s feed for new podcasts but none have made this list yet.

    Some of the podcasts out there would be decent, except the recording quality is poor. I fear for my speakers being blown out by a cough or a hearty group laugh. All podcasters should be using Levelator if no other post-processing is available.

    I keep trying to like top podcasts like Keith and the Girl, but alas, I’m exclusively “tech” and “comedy” fan. I did like their site, nevertheless. Funny video on the homepage. Disturbing pictures of tattoos. Told you – I tried.

    iTunes has a Jonas Brothers podcast at the top. Who are they? Let me guess. What the kids are doing.

    iTunes list has a couple other interesting ones. The Economist. NPR Talk of the Nation Podcast. I’ll try these and let you know.

I’m still enjoying to the aforementioned, but, for the first time, I was able to skip a few days without feeling naked.

    I’ve come to appreciate the comedic work of Merlin Mann and company in “You Look Nice Today”. Someone asked Merlin what podcasts he listens to. That’s how I found “The Bugle”, a new entry into my lineup. It is Merlin month.

    The 5-minute news segments are still an easy and worthwhile listen.

    TWIT is a mandatory listen for people wanting to know what is happening in tech. Each episode brings great insights.

    1. Tech5 – Tech News
    2. Front Page – News
    3. You Look Nice Today – Comedy
