Ever since the popularity explosion of the iPod and iTunes, podcasting has become more accepted than ever as a form of mainstream media. No matter what your interests are, be them Technology, Media, Cooking, etc., you are guaranteed to find a podcast to suit your needs. Allow me to recommend a few of my favorite, lesser known podcasts that you may want to check out...If consider yourself a hardcore, or even casual gamer, there are quite a few semi-professional gaming relate podcasts for you, such as Xbox Live's Major Nelson Radio or EGM's 1UP Yours. My favorite video game podcast, however, would be the more independent Video Game Outsiders podcast. The shows hosts consist of John Jakobson, Kyle Jones, and Michelle Madison, all of whom come from different professional backgrounds and lifestyles. The weekly show, which was named podcast of the year by Gamertag Radio during its 2nd Annual Xbox Community Awards show, takes a neutral and unbiased look at the current events of gaming. The hosts have great chemistry, though they have been known to bicker, albeit humorously, at times.
If you are a fan of the TV show, LOST, and would like to keep up to date on news, easter eggs, and theories, there is no better place to look than the The Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack. This hilariously clever father and son (though you would never know it) team, manages to put out two shows a week. The first of which, is recorded immediately following the airing of a LOST episode. There, you can find a recap of the episode, as well as the listeners initial impressions. The following Monday's episode contains a review at what we may have missed, as well as a preview of the following weeks episode. The show would not be complete without one of Jack's Crackpot Theories of the Week. This podcast is a definite must-listen if you are a fan of LOST.
If your find yourself entertained by listening to a couple industry vets shoot the breeze, than look no further than the East Meets West Podcast. Hosted by Cnet's Tom Merrit, and Revision3's Roger Chang, this podcast touches on a variety of topics, but is naturally geared towards the tech side. Both hosts have earned their stripes in the tech community, and come together on their own time to share their expertise with us. The conversation doesn't stop with tech though, as they often discuss topics based on culture and society.
A little heavier on the tech side, we have PixleCorps's MacBreak Tech. This podcast gets straight to the nitty gritty of tech talk. If you can get past the monotone voices, you may learn a few things, as hosts John Foster, Kenji Kato, Ben Durbin and Craig Syverson pick a topic and chop it to pieces. Previous topics include Emulation, Mac myths, and Backups. This podcast may not be for everyone, but Mac addicts and tech heads alike will appreciate it.
