  • [Podcasts] Podcast Aggregator - Doppler

    My buddy Jan-Erik has been listening to podcasts for a while now, and he pointed me to a program called Doppler which seems to be a decent podcast aggregator. I've only just started to use it, but it looks nice and seems to behave well. It got all the bells and whistles we're getting used to nowadays - async downloads, system tray, notifications and so on, and you can turn these features on and off as you please.

    Go check Doppler out at http://www.dopplerradio.net/

    Now I need to look for a seamless way to get these things over to my Sony Ericsson mobile without too many clicks.

  • [Podcasts] New Podcast - Without a Name

    Found a newly started podcast, one which haven't got a name yet even. So far called "developer podcast", but they would like to get some ideas for a name. "They" are Derek Hatchard and Mike Mullen and you find links to their own blogs from their podcast site. They have recorded 2 shows so far and the sound quality could be better, but they give some good tips about Vista which are useful and have some links to resources they talked about on their blog.

    You find these guys at http://netcasts.ardentdev.com/

  • [Podcasts] .NET Podcasts

    I've soon listened to all shows that have been recorded by Scott Hanselman and Carl Franklin on Hanselminutes (http://www.hanselminutes.com/), and I've started to dig around for some more podcasts, preferably similar to the Hanselminutes stuff. I've been listening to .NET Rocks (http://www.dotnetrocks.com/) for some time as well, and I just ran upon the Polymorphic Podcast (http://polymorphicpodcast.com/) which seems to be just great. Polymorphic is about most things .NET related and it's hosted by Craig Shoemaker.

    Then there's the ASP.NET Podcasts, hosted by Wallace B. (Wally) McClure and Paul Glavich, which I haven't listened to (or looked at for that matter because they also have some viewable material) at http://aspnetpodcast.com or better yet http://aspnetpodcast.com/CS11/blogs/asp.net_podcast/default.aspx

    If you know of any other similar podcasts, please let me know and I'll add them to this page.

    I need to think of a way to automatically download the files and have them synced with my SonyE ricsson mobile phone... Or get a better "download deal" with my phone company and create a small program that I can run on the mobile phone to download these podcasts directly. It's too expensive for me to download these files over the mobile network as I have to pay for the bytes...

  • [Podcasts] Hanselminutes is Cool

    I've started to listen to podcasts on my mobile phone while commuting to where I work at the moment, and it's pretty cool. I've listened to quite a few shows by Scott Hanselman and Carl Franklin available at http://www.hanselminutes.com and I am surprised (well not really) by the quality. It's relaxed, sit-back kind of shows and Carl asks very good questions. You also get some very good tips about tools and blogs.

    The shows I've enjoyed most so far I think is the one on Test Driven and the follow up on Mock Objects. The one on Infocards were pretty interesting as well, and... ;)

    Have to hunt for more podcasts... I spend lots of time on trains these days.
