You\u2019ve probably seen me mention TWiT<\/a> a few times in the past.  There\u2019s two podcasts, hosted by Leo Laporte<\/a>, that they do that I subscribe to.<\/p>\n

Security Now<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Steve Gibson<\/a> is the featured presenter.  The focus is security, but it often (weekly) strays into off-topic but mostly interesting areas.  In the first part of the show, you get a breakdown of what\u2019s happened in IT security in the last week, be it a big hack, a new vulnerability, updates to be especially aware of, and so on.  Steve\u2019s gift here is that he\u2019s a 1\u2019s and 0\u2019s developer and really understands it.  The rest of the show alternates between delving into a topic one week (like router buffer bloat) or Q&A on recent discussions the next week.  And then there\u2019s the tangents \u2026 coffee making, sci-fi books, gadget purchases, portable dog silencing devices, \u2026 you get the idea \"Smile\"  <\/p>\n

Windows Weekly<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul Thurrot<\/a> and Mary-Jo Foley<\/a> are featured in this podcast, talking all things Windows.  It is very much consumer oriented, but every now and then Mary-Jo sneaks in some Hyper-V news, much to the enjoyment of Leo \"Winking  My pet peeve is the Windows Phone news, but I guess someone<\/em> has bought one \"Smile  The value of this show is to hear the story behind the blog posts from two of the biggest names in Microsoft news reporting.<\/p>\n

RunAs Radio<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been looking for a podcast aimed at the IT Pro listener ever since I got my iPhone.  And somehow my searches never found RunAs Radio.  To be honest, I only found them when I was asked about being a guest one week (I recorded the show on Monday night and it will be released in a few weeks).  I might be late to the party, but it\u2019s a treasure trove<\/a>.  I drove around 1,000 KM last week for a road show, and this podcast kept me entertained and educated for a large portion of it.  Each week, the host Richard Campbell<\/a> \u2013 sometimes with Greg Hughes \u2013 chats with a guest about some topic that we who work with IT in the business world will want to listen to \u2026 MDT 2012, System Center 2012, Hyper-V, SQL 2012, IPv6 \u2026. it\u2019s all there and more, with guests like MVPs, Mark Minasi, Rhonda Layfield, Jeff Woolsey \u2026 and soon: me!<\/p>\n

So if you want to make your travelling more enjoyable and educational, fire up iTunes and subscribe to these podcasts \u2026 or find their RSS feeds and copy\/paste them into Zune \u2026 and happy listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
