If listeners are looking for tech reviews, advice, and good stories, they will not be disappointed with the T4 show (“Tech Today. . .Tech Tomorrow”). As of this review, T4 has accumilated over 83 episodes and maintained a consistent schedule for new material. Host Michael Manna is very knowledgeable about all kinds of tech gadgets, but often focuses on mobile technology. He is frequently joined by guests who specialize in products being covered for an episode. Michael insists on promoting his guests and allows the individuals “to plug” or promote their products or services. He does a nice job of interviewing and lets his guests speak without interruption. We are pleased Michael has decided to offer separate RSS feeds for video and audio. Michael Manna is knowledgeable about the content presented and passionate about various consumer electronics.

The Randy Rando Randonopolis Show
Category: TV & Film
The Randy Rando Randonopolis Show is a “highly structured Ramblecast.” Hosts Adam and Dave discuss any and everything from their lives to pop culture. They have the chemistry and show format that entices listeners to respond. Most episodes have segments such as reviews, Quiz Master, Fav 5, and good news. The occasional “Airing of Grievenace” is a clever portion of the show serving as a safe place for the hosts and guests to rant, complain, and voice their frustrations about life. The show really is funny and entertaining. Adam and Dave have chosen to break their podcasts into Seasons and Episodes. The podcast celebrated its first anniversary (the end of season 1) on Episode 10 however. Because so few shows where produced in a year, we could only deduce that the first season must have endured a writer’s strike. We’d love to see these two produce episodes more frequently. Regarding sound quality, Adam and Dave appear to be sharing one microphone. Their voices dim in and out as they transition in conversation. While we enjoyed this show, the major weakness of incredibly inconsistency cannot be overlooked.

This conservative Republican-based show is hosted by the passionate J.R. The podcast can be heard on several radio stations and in podcast format. J.R. primarily discusses politics but also covers the War on Terror and global events that affect the US military. Many of his topics are things not discussed by the main-stream media. He clearly states his sources of information and also states when he is giving his opinion. Interestingly, when searching iTunes, Talk Show America does not appear. J.R. really cannot afford to miss this “800 pound gorilla.” J.R. has also chosen to include standard commercials in the adaptation of the radio show to a podcast. Certainly we are not against podcasters making money from their shows, quite the contrary. However, the radio specific commercials do not adapt well into a podcast format and take up six to eight minutes of each episode. Never-the-less, J.R. is passionate about the political topics covered and secure in his opinions shared.
