My new favorite Video podcast/netcast is Chasing Windmills. Well I guess thats a lie, Ze Frank's the show is still hard to beat. Chasing Windmills is a totally different show. For a start its not a blog, its a serialized drama. And its totally awesome.

I don't want to talk about what its actually about too much for fear of being wrong all over the internets, which can be horribly embarrassing, but you should definitely start form the beginning. Its fairly safe to say that each episode kinda speaks for itself, but put together you get a much better sense of character.

I really hope to see more of this kind of content being made into netcasts/podcasts (I still havn't decided which phrase I'm going with). If anyone knows of anything like it, link me up with the linking.

So i discovered that there is only ONE show i still watch on free to air now. Even then I an using a home media centre to record it first so i don't have to watch the ads. And I'm only doing it to justify the $200 tuner card.

I either download the shows I watch, or I podcast or (netcast). I find that if I'm not with people I pretty much have to be either listeneing to music or to podcasts, and more and more podcasts are taking up more of my mind share.

I thought I'd just give a brief roundup of my favorite casts:

Buzz Out Loud - a "podcast of indeterminate length", BOL highlights some of the most intreaguing tech news storys every day. Notice the every day? That's why I love this show. Its hosted by three people, and if one of them is away, the other two always battle on. Its very easy to be endeared with Tom, Molly and Veronica, and the balance of ages, levels of experience and sexes makes this easy to recommend to anyone that spends a fair part of their day reading tech blogs.

Ze Frank - the show is possibly some of the finest comedy to be found anywhere. Ze is brilliant, and has got what is basically a video diary down to an amazing art. It has a vaugly Eddie Izzard feel about it, with a strong political undercurrent. Watching should be mandatory.

TWiT network - The Twit network is all about Leo. Leo Laporte has brought together the best In Tech and Tech related podcasts on the net, not to mention hosting and producing most of them himself. If you are at all into technology there's something here for you.

Revision 3 - There's something here for you. whoever you are. A cooking show? Beer drinking / news telling ? Photoshop tips? Hacking? Music that isn't MTV? Check them out, some of the best video casts available.
