I cannot agree more with Johannes Ernst. Podcasts and especially IT Conversations’ podcasts have dramatically improved the quality of many situations of my everyday life. Taking a walk after lunch, commuting by train from Rimini to Rome, or just dish washing are all experiences now associated with listening to podcasts. Discussions and presentations from conferences are my preferred kind of podcasts. They gives me the chance to “partecipate” to events without moving to the Silicon Valley or Boston. Thanks Doug, you really deserve the award of “Person of the Year in Podcasting”!

QuickCast, also from IT Conversation, seems a smart move too. If you cannot make to a conference, or it’s too expensive for your pocket, just wait 2-3 weeks and get all the recordings from IT Conversations at 5 dollars per session!
