Do you listen to podcasts where there's a lot of rock music in the intro/interludes? I hate those. For some reason there are lots of technology podcasts that do this. We're real rockstars, dude.

No most of them are talkies with like a theme song that sounds like a jingle. Some of them like the NPR shows are a little more professional. But no dumb rock music to make nerding seem cool.

I once produced a podcast for some friends and we started it with a song of the day. But that was usually some 1970's R and B and only half of the song.

What was it about?

It was weird science and technology. We had about 6 or 7 casts completed before people started making life changes (having babies, getting real jobs), so we couldn't do it anymore.

Anything from animal extinction to angry birds (that app game).

I remember making fun of Google plus and the Facebook IPO a fair amount.
