TWiT is a new discovery for me. The network has been around for some time but I’ve only recently started to listen to shows from them. In the few shows I’ve listened to, I’ve realized how professional sounding the network sounds. The way they deliver their promos, the manner they cover topics, where they go, and how they jump into things makes them sound like a mainstream program without leaving behind the personal feeling a podcast...

The Nerdist network has swiftly become one of my favorite group of podcasts out there. I’ve tried starting this a few times talking about the success of the Nerdist, but I can’t bring myself to say how this started up as a small time podcast that got big.

There are some shows that have caught my eye and I’m trying to main line them as I get time. I’ve been familiar with Red Dwarf for the past twenty years; first learning about it in the early 90’s first from episodes on PBS, then later...
