Podcasts - Your favourites and why

[Scottish Business Owner]

I dont listen to as many podcasts etc as I would like. My main area of interest is actually business so I tend to regularly listen to SmallBizPod and some stuff from the Times like Mike Southon etc but it strikes me there isn't really that much out there thats business specific.

Do you know what podcasts are and how to download them etc?

If you do please share what you regularly gdownload and why. Do you download to your pc or to a portable device for listening on the go?

Come share

If I don't catch it live I sometimes download Evan Davis' "The Bottom Line" from the R4 website.

I actually came across The Bottomline yesterday whilst doing some searching and after listening to a few last night I think I will add this to my downloads. Evan Davis is actually a very good interviewer so I think that's been a good find

I'm quite lucky I guess as typically it takes me around 30 minutes to travel to most of my clients so fitting in podcasts should be quite easy for me.

What about everyone else? Do you not have time to listen or is the topic generally not of interest. What sort of things would interest you?

I have subscribed to a couple of screen/podcasts through iTunes, only ever accessed on my PC - I haven't tried to push them on to my blackberry yet as I don't really see the benefit for video (audio podcasts yes).

One of them is produced by .net magazine called 'Wed Design TV' and the other is from a large CSS blog site. They both produce a range of learning based screencasts that cover a wide range of web design and development topics. I find that learning in this field is best achieved in a visual way so this format works really well.
