The Hackers are coming!

A mate of mine just asked what podcasts he should be listening to. Since i know he reads this blog (hey birdey!) I thought I’d answer him here..

My Current choice of Podcasts:

Buzz Out Loud

A daily podcast on all things geek. I find something strangely comforting in hearing Tom rush through “This Podcast brought to you by Earthlink” everyday. Although, i hate hearing the earthlink ads during the show…

This Week In Tech.

No surprises here, i think every geek on the planet listens to this one. By the time this one rolls around, you’ve pretty much heard every story on Buzz Out Loud already, but the panel is normally good enough to grant hearing their take on things.

MacBreak Weekly.

Part of the Twit family. It’s saved from complete fanboy hell by the lovely Merlin Mann. The boy is hilarious. Scott Bourne on the other hand, proves you cant teach old media new tricks…

Get This.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Tony Martin is the most gifted comedian in Australia. I only wish they didnt make it a highlight show. Triple M, please just strip the show of Knickleback and obnoxious ads and stick it online daily..

Boxcutters.

Hilarious show about all things Television. Remarkably high production values for an independent podcast too..

Footytalk.

If you dig AFL, you’ll dig this. The production values are shaky at best, but semi-regular host Polly is the best AFL brain on any medium. Note to channel 7, give this guy his own show…

KCRW’s The Business

I good weekly look at Hollywood, with some great interviews..

KCRW’s The Treatment

Another Hollywood Show, this time focusing on screen writing. Elvis Mitchell’s mellifluous voice and brilliant interviewing style make it perfect listening.

This American Life

I brilliant radio documentary show. If only more shows like this were being made..

SModcast

Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier talk about nothing for an hour. Hilarious, and oh so wrong, its made me burst out laughing on a train more times than any other show.

Roy and HG’s This Sporting Life

I normally only listen to the first half hour of this, where HG sets out “the ball tearers down his end of the swamp” before “Letting Roy of the leash to pour petrol on the burning heap that was the last set of seven…” but its worth downloading just for that.

Podcast 411

A podcast about podcasts and podcasters…

Are their others I should listen to? Please let me know in the comments and I’ll add them to the list.

For the seventh year running, the winner of Big Brother Australia is an inanimate carbon rod.

I can’t wait to see its pictures in Ralph yet again.

Nice one Australia….

I awoke today to find that some chaps who must have been insecure of their own beliefs had found it necessary to justify their viewpoint by pushing it on me. Unfortunately, the second person who saw it was a gay man who said he’d “hit it”.

They really shouldn’t be using attractive jesus models in this propaganda…”

From You’re Not A Portugese Man!

I know its not cool to admit to liking Big Brother, but fuck it, I’ve always loved Big Brother. But this year has been just so boring…

But in a strange twist of fate, because this year has been so fucking boring, its allowed the one interesting housemate, the lovely Zach, to sneak into the final two spots, and have a real chance of winning Big Brother.

An interesting housemate winning Big Brother has never happened in Australia. The first BB Sara Marie lost to whats his face. Then it was that boring guy, followed by the guy who ended up on Fat Celebrity. Reggie was kinda interesting, only because she was the female equivalent of all the previous boring blokes who had won previously. Closest we got was Tim Brunero in 2004, but even he lost to whats his face version 4.

Either way, I’m so glad Travo got the arse-o.

So, after 7 years of watching the type of people i used to hate in high school lounge around admiring their abs in the mirrors, finally, i’m excited by a Big Brother finale. And fuck it, I’m even going to vote..

Join me friends. SMS Zach to 199 2SAVE.

Or full of this many hot young things?

The Simpsons Game E3 2007 Trailer HD

That looks fucking awesome. And its cool that it’ll be released on Coleco Vision.

Sam Wallman is the Melbourne based artist responsible for this. His cartoons wont appeal to everyone, but i dig them. I’m proud to be hosting his stuff, check out more at The Fat Love.

Not about Richard Gere….

For years now I’ve been talking about a show i remembered as a child that had little hamsters flying planes, driving cars, and generally piss-farting about..

I’ve asked at different places on the web, but most people think it must be some kind of drug induced flash back..

But, god bless Tony Martin’s Get This, someone else remember this… The caller thought it was called “hammy the hamster”, not true. Apparently, that show was actually called “Tales of the Riverside”. I checked it out, but it was not the hamster i was looking for… A few more clicks with the googles brought me to “Once Upon A Hamster”, where i foud this gem:

See. The drugs had nothing to do with it….
