My top-3 favorite podcast feeds

Posted on by

Lost the podcast feeds on my Nokia N97 for some reason, so I had to look them up and re-insert them manually – since the podcast search feature doesn't seem to find many of my favorite podcast.

FWIW, here's my top-3 favorite podcast feeds:

  1. Rebooting the News

  2. IT Conversations

  3. The Gillmor Gang

Change log for www.josschuurmans.com

This is to capture a few notes about recent (conceptual and technical) changes to my blog at www.josschuurmans.com.

  • (August 17, 2009): Added email subscription option to the right-hand sidebar of www.josschuurmans.com. Code generated by FeedBurner.
  • (August 16, 2009): Added RSS feed subscription feature from FeedBurner onto the right-hand sidebar of www.josschuurmans.com, which appears to offer a more complete service.
  • (August 14, 2009): Transferred the RSS  feed generation from TypePad to FeedBurner. One incentive was that I wanted to include audio/podcast files in my feed and FeedBurner might do a better job at it. Another main incentive is that FeedBurner offers statistics about subscribers to the feed. When I transferred the service to FeedBurner, I had 54 subscrirbers. Now, on August 18, I have 51.

Posterous better for podcasting than TypePad?

Uploading audio files to be embedded in posts on TypePad – and in the RSS/podcast feed which is managed by FeedBurner – appears to be excruciatingly slow.

I'm wondering if it would be more convenient to email the file onto Posterous, which will then post it on TypePad. I could then create a "multimedia/podcast feed" from Posterous, using FeedBurner, and offer that multimedia feed as a separate link on my TypePad blog.

Just a thought.
