Podcast Reviews

Paul Lockwood, over at the www.DotNetWorkaholic.com site, has come through with a review of technical podcasts.  I think Paul is pretty accurate and fair with regards to the ASP.NET Podcast.  Initially, the audio quality was fairly poor.  I admit it.  I think that we have improved in that area.  We don't sound like DNR or Polymorphic Podcast (and I like both shows).  I don't have a background in audio production, and it shows.  I like our focus on code and that was the main goal from the beginning.  Programmers like code.  They want code.  Paul and I give it to them fairly well.

Simone,

How is it in Italy?

I think the point is that there are positives and negatives to all of the shows.

They are all worth listening to depending on the technical level of the listener. DNR (.Net Rocks) really helped me progress beyond that of a bumbling junior .Net rookie.

In the next batch of Podcast reviews I will focus more the +ve; it was never my intention to knock anyone, but to provide a balanced opinion. My .Net presentations are like this too and maybe it works better in person? Words written the unskilled scribe (i.e. moi!) can be interpreted in unintended ways.

Anyone who takes the time to put together a regular podcast is a star in my book and they should all be applauded.

I don't think you should shy away from your reviews at all.

Independent opinions (the good and bad) of shows does a great service to the development community. I like what you are doing and hope to see more of your reviews.

Basically I am saying I think you can say what you don't like about a show without knocking someone - and I think you succeeded in doing so.
