Earlier quoted context omitted.

Funny how German podcasters pretty much unanimously decided not to do ads or sponsoring while american podcasts are often littered with ads to the point where it gets unbearable. Compare and contrast the TWiT network or 5by5 with Tim Pritlove or BitsUndSo

Isn't the TWiT network a bit of a special case with Leo Laporte trying to monetize and self produce the same niche of programming he was doing with the Screen Savers back on ZDTV? There isn't much of a choice when the point of the screen casts are that they should be your job. Also it helps that we're conditioned to see adverts everywhere.

There was a time when TWiT was funded exclusively by donations, making a point of not taking ads in order to stay independent. At some point I guess the temptation become too big.

Thanks for this article and comments, I usually listen to Justin and Jason's TechZing but here there are some links very interesting (i.e. http://www.startupsfortherestofus.com/, i've seen they put a transcript of every episode so it's useful for me, i use podcasts also to improve my english)

A suggestion for podcast authors: if you cant put a full transcript, at least try to have an abstract (with link,s people, societies etc..)

99% Invisible is in the same category of general nerdy podcasts like Radiolab (i.e. not just meant for programmers). I think this show specifically would be interesting to hackers, on manufactured sounds for digital interfaces, but there's a lot of good stuff in the archives. http://99percentinvisible.org/post/3230995265/episode-15-the...

The podcast might be nice, but for some reason they don't publish links to the mp3 in their podcast RSS feed.

Ironic to see a podcast about design making a simple UX mistake like that.

I recommend Econtalk http://www.econtalk.org/

In addition to the good topics on economics, they also cover technology, e.g. Kelly on Technology and What Technology Wants - http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2010/11/kelly_on_techno.htm... or Hazlett on Apple vs. Google - http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2010/10/hazlett_on_appl.htm...

My latest favourite is Taleb on Anti-fragility - http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2012/01/taleb_on_antifr.htm...
