Tech Netcasts!
What are your favourites?
Netcasts (also known as webcasts) are the new age talkback radio. They're an audio file - sometimes pre-recorded, other times live - which is broadcasted via the Internet. The popular 'podcasts' are a derivative of netcasts, but are typically restricted to the iTunes distribution channel. The term 'podcast' is often abused and used in place of netcasts, much like how the term 'iPod' is used in place of 'MP3 player', despite the brand. From a technical perspective, a netcast is just an ordinary audio file, typically MP3.
I've collated some of my favourite tech netcasts for you all to enjoy!
TWiT Network
TWiT is arguably the most popular netcast network in the world. Regularly topping the podcast ratings in iTunes, TWiT broadcasts shows which cover all corners of technology - and more! The founder Leo Laporte participates in most shows, and has been hailed the President of the Internet by TechRepublic in a mock election. His great personality and long history of radio produces entertaining and intellectual shows with his regular hosts and guests alike.
If you want to keep up with tech, the TWiT network is hard to pass up.
AtomicMPC
Atomic's new podcast is all about enthusiast tech, covering articles in their magazine, trade shows, and anything else that stumbles into their labs. Being new, it's still getting on its feet, but it's a good listen nonetheless.
Engadget Podcast
Humour, awkwardness, tech - that's the Engadget podcast! Editors from the popular tech blog Engadget meet up once a week to talk about the latest news and reviews in the tech world. Definitely one you want to add to your netcast feed!
PC Perspective
PC Perspective is the netcast associated with the popular review site of the same name. The host Ryan Shrout and his panel of guests talk about the latest in enthusiast computing hardware. This netcast is a great way for enthusiasts to keep up with the ever expanding world of hardware.
