Anthony Elmore hosts this show about “winning at losing and failing successfully.” The title of the podcast is very appropriate because we all live in a tempting world that gets us into trouble sometimes. The show is relatively new. Initially it seemed that Anthony would tell his own life stories as well as those submitted by listeners. The original concept for Diabetic in Candyland was unique and appealing. However, the show format and content are constantly changing, and this is difficult for a listening audience. Anthony has employing the use of TalkShoe twice. TalkShoe allows a podcast to broadcast live, and allows a show to be interactive with an audience. Diabetic in Candyland changed the time the last live show began thereby losing the potential audience that may have been planning to interact. Another oversight Diabetic in Candyland may not be aware of is the incredibly large size of the audio bit rate. These shows are published in 192 kps resulting in files the size of 51 MB to 72 MB. A common bit rate for podcasts is 96 kps or even 64 kps. With more episodes, Anthony’s listener base will build and more people will submit their own stories for content. Limiting episodes to 30 minutes and improving production quality will also help the listener base to grow.

This is your place for any and all iPhone news. Host Rob must have some kind of insider’s scoop because he can answer any question thrown at him. Rob has a large listener base who ask a number of questions that he answers on each episode. He also has drawings for give-a-ways. For us, listening to this podcast simply made not having an iPhone more difficult. We are jealous and would love to own an iPhone ourselves. Today in iPhone Podcast is very informative and appeals to an international audience as opposed to the United States specifically. Rob is not afraid to call-out web sites that report on rumors about the iPhone without having the facts. However, we could not help but notice Rob, in full disclosure, admittedly doing the same. When the show began, new content was coming out once to twice a week. However as of January of this year new content has slowed to once a month. In recent shows Rob sounds very tired and his enthusiasm seems to be wavering except for little quips between himself and Scott Borne, who also hosts a podcast about the iPhone. Today in iPhone Podcast has a lot of information and tips that will assist users in maximizing their enjoyment of this revolutionary device.
