I love podcasts, which are audio and video files of online shows you can play on your personal computer or any smartphone. They give me the news and information I want, when I want it, under my control. They’re a great way to pass the time in an automobile, on a solo day hike, or when my eyes are too tired for reading. Simply download the free iTunes software and delve into a world of knowledge and entertainment or use a podcast player on your iOS or Android device. Here are the ones I listen to regularly:
Technology Podcasts
- MacBreak Weekly – Apple updates from Leo and friends (audio or video)
- This Week in Google – what is happening with Google and the cloud (audio or video)
- This Week in Tech – weekly tech punditry from Leo Laporte and friends (audio or video)
Other Interests
- Mission Log – two fellows watching every episode of Star Trek; they do such a great job that I’m a monthly support of them via Patreon
- The VFX Show – Mike Seymour and friends discuss movie special effects (audio)
