December 20, 2017For me, podcasts have completely replaced talk radio for the most part and I like talk radio. I have been reviewing my Top Podcasts on this site every year for a few years I like to see how my interests change from year to year. CRTV CRTV (Conservative Review) TV is a free podcast stream of all the shows on CRTV. I enjoy LevinTV, Get off My Lawn and Louder with Crowder. All these podcasts and more (about dozen shows most are daily) are free audio but I subscribe because the subscription gets you the video element which is not free and a free coffee mug. First Ring Daily First Ring Daily would probably be my pick for the number two podcast. Paul Thurrott and Brad Sams do a great job reporting the tech news of the day. First Ring Daily this year went from being a premium paid show every day to being free every day. Paul and Brad have both said they don’t consider the show a premium product. Thurrott.com reporting is still premium but not the daily podcast. If you are looking for the best tech news reporting this is a great site. Red Bar Radio Red Bar Radio is a weekly podcast I like and watch when it has an episode topic I am interested in hearing about on that day. Mike does a weekly two-hour free show then premium paid additional 2-4 hours. I don’t subscribe and I don’t listen every week but when a topic or subject about an entertainer or celebrity comes up I will watch the free show. This Week in Google I do not listen too many of the TWIT.TV shows but I have been listening to TWIG. Jeff Jarvis and Leo Leport do a great job of reporting all the...

One of the things that helps me through all my travels, business or pleasure is podcasts. There about 250,000 podcasts on iTunes that are listened to on daily basis here are my top five. First Ring Daily First Ring Daily would probably be my pick for the number one podcast I listen to on iTunes. Paul Thurrott and Brad Sams do a great job reporting the tech news of the week. First Ring Daily is released every Friday for free on iTunes. They offer a daily podcast with a yearly or monthly subscription to their site Thurrott.com if you are looking for the best tech news reporting this is the show for you.

Every Friday he releases the best of the week which is the best clips from the week on the network free on iTunes.

December 22, 2016I am a big podcast listener some people binge on YouTube and Netflix videos I binge listen to podcasts. There is a huge call for on-demand audio like podcasts in the dying age of radio. Before DVR boxes and on-demand video like streaming, there was an on-demand audio called podcasts. When Apple introduced podcasts in 2004, the iPod changed the music industry a small device that could fit in your pocket and iTunes store allowed you to download any song you wanted at any time starting the instant gratification of music. No need to go to your local store and buy CDS when you can just download a small MP3 file and place it onto a small device that holds thousands of songs and fits in your pocket. Since there was no cellular data yet to get a music or podcasts to your iPod you had to be plugged into a computer, open iTunes then music and podcasts had to sync over to the device via a cable. It was the start of a revolution in the on-demand radio industry that we call podcasts. The word podcast is a combination of the word iPod and broadcast a term developed by a journalist. Originally the word was audio blogging which lacked the cool hip feel that the broadcaster and Apple were going for so the name was changed to Podcast. Companies like TWIT one of the first podcasts available on iTunes calls them netcasts to get away from the assumption you need an Apple device to listen to the broadcast. Podcasts are basically MP3 files that can be played by any music device, not just an iPod or iPhone. At the time the iPod was really the only mobile music player available and now there are many. When the iPhone was released...
