Host Stan Relihan produces this weekly show that centers around the importance of networking, specifically social media networking. While many types of business networking sites are discussed, most of the focus is on LinkedIn, the world’s largest business network.

Trivia War Podcast is a unique blend of Jeopardy, Hollywood Squares, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. This quiz show focuses on popular movies and TV shows. Hosts Sue, Josh, and Robin lead several types of trivia quizzes throughout each episode. There are three rounds of questions that include true/false, general knowledge, and “Who Said That” (quotes). Our favorite segment is “Stump Josh” where Josh must link two actors by movies in six degrees of separation or less. The trio also discusses their Top 5 in a given category each week. Listeners are told what the following week’s topic will be so they can watch a few of the TV shows or the movie to be prepared. The strength of Trivia War Podcast is the hosts. If one were removed from the group, the podcast would lose its unique appeal. We were pleasantly surprised by the creativity and persona of this well produced podcast.

Firefly fans will find a second family in The Signal. Hosts Les and Kari lead this podcast for fans of the show Firefly, the movie Serenity, and its writer Joss Whedon who is also known for the shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Despite Firefly’s amazing popularity, the show was canceled after only 14 episodes leaving fans begging for more. The Signal delivers with news on Firefly, interviews, and fan material. This show is professionally done and entertaining bumpers add to the quality. Sound bytes from the show and movie including the theme music are instrumental in enhancing the show as well. Listener emails and voice mails are played so fans can stay in contact with other Firefly lovers. Reviews of other science fiction shows are given too. The Signal is successful in its mission to recruit “Brown Coats ” and to keep existing members informed.
