There is one podcast I listen to everyday. That show is Buzz Out Loud, hosted by Tom Merritt, Molly Wood, and producer Jason. BOL has introduced me to Talk Like a Pirate Day, the wonderful world of the RIAA, DRM, Net Neutrality, the Linux Chaser and most recently it has helped shine a light on a lie I had believed since I was old enough to read comic books. Bruce Wayne is NOT Batman. I mean if you listen to the voicemail from listener, JIM JIM, its very clear that there is no possible way Bruce Wayne could be batman. His lifestyle makes it impossible.
Buzz Out Loud is also the place I go to for all of, well ok some of my political news. This past week BOL reported on the website Polical Base started up by form Chief Executive at Cnet, Shelby Bonnie. The idea behind this site is to give you a totally neutral view on polititians. You can find out anything you would want to know about anyone running for or holding public office even where their funding is coming from. It also uses a wiki, which alows users to contribute, but everything must be approved in order to keep things neutral.
Since I never miss an episode of BOL I know this will not be the last post on this show, but I thought it was the best show to start this blog on. So let me leave you with a few bits of BOL knowledge that you should pass on to your friends
1. Be careful when using Reply to All, in most cases its a bad idea.
2. DRM makes things hard, so if you can but itunes plus music or use Amazon to get your music (or any other DRM free service)
3. Anytime you read three Apple stories (good or bad) follow them up with a Linux chaser, it makes them go down much easier
and finally....
4. Start your day with Buzz Out Loud, or your afternoon if you access to the net at work and can listen to the same day its recored you lucky f.....enjoy the show when you can, it will make your day that much better.
