My Top 5 Tech Podcasts

I don’t often listen to podcasts the way I used to a few months back. However, I try to find time (although delayed by 2 or 3 episodes) to listen to the top 5 on my iTunes.

At #5 is Mac Break. This one is a video podcast hosted by Leo Laporte of TechTV fame, Alex Lindsay of PixelCore, Emery Wells and the beautiful Amber MacArthur from Call for Help. This one is for the Mac addicts… very informative and entertaining.

At #4 is SEO RockStars. If you want to learn more about SEO and some of the current SEM news, this one is for you. I know whitepapers and ebooks about SEO could be very tiring to read with the volumes and volumes of PDFs. This one, you just pop out your iPod and you get the latest updates in the industry.

At #3 is Diggnation. Hosted by Kevin Rose and Alex Albretch, Diggnation discusses the latest updates from the social news and bookmarking site Digg.com. Digg gets almost 1,200 submissions each day with 500,000 visitors and close to 6 million pageviews/day.

At #2 is the Daily Giz Wiz. Leo Laporte teams up with Mad Magazine’s Dick DeBartolo and came up with a daily 5 to 10-minute podcasts about every weird and ingenius gadget Dick has been storing in his warehouse for almost 20 years.

At #1 is This Week in Tech (TWiT). Again Leo Laporte tops my list of favorite podcasts. He is joined by Patrick Norton, John C. Dvorack, Roger Chang (sometimes with Amber, Kevin and Apple inventor Steve Wozniak) for a commentary of the recent news and issues in the IT industry.

Ok, ok, I used to be TechTV’s Screensaver and Call for Help fan.

Digg and TWiT for me too!

i guess every geek and techie (wannabe’s included) are hooked with these two.

I’ve faithfully listened every single episode of the two shows and now that I bought an mp3 player, i’m ‘reviewing’ the past episodes.

dvorak cracks me up with his witty rudeness and snapbacks.

i’m looking for other podcasts which are not tech related. i saw a french-tutorial podcast which i will start listening after i finish my ‘reviews’. :D

Same here. TWiT and Diggnation are at the top of my list. Anyway, I love how Kevin and Alex get to report the top Digg stories while drinking booze.
