Podomatic

I'll be adding podcasting features to Minx sometime in the next month; I even have the mee.fm domain for podcasters and internet radio (and a couple of dedicated servers for that purpose).

In the meantime, I'm listening to podcasts as I code. It's a great surrogate for actual human contact, because I can turn it off or change the channel without getting slapped. It helps a lot during the long hours of bug-squishing.

My favourites - and you may detect a theme here - are:

• Anime World Order Daryl, Gerald and Clarissa mainly review classic anime... and porn. The episodes tend to run long, but the AWO team are both entertaining and knowledgeable¹, so this is a plus as far as I'm concerned.
• Anime Pulse Ichigo, Batou, Chigo² and the occasional co-host mostly cover recent anime, including Bleach (which was very good for the first 12 episodes) and Naruto (which wasn't).
• Electric Sista Hood The best³ girl gaming, gadgets, and anime podcast, brought to you by Ninjah Sista, Pandalicious, Magic Mystic Girl, and the mic of a thousand truths. Ninjah and Panda's father sadly passed away recently (they really are sisters), but the girls are back and as good as ever.
  
• Dave and Joel's Fast Karate for the Gentleman⁴ David Riley and Joel White review video games and anime - often extremely bad video games and anime - and whatever else bubbles up to the surfaces of their fermenting consciousnesses.
• Penn Radio Penn Jillette and Michael Goudeau were a daily listen until they went off the air after only a year of broadcasts. Fortunately, the entire history of the show has been preserved and can be downloaded as a torrent.
  

¹ For example, they all love Dirty Pair.

² The name is confusing given that we already have an Ichigo, but it's a contraction of "Chibi Godzilla".

³ The fucking best.

⁴ I can't be the only person who thinks that sounds vaguely obscene.
