Thanks to Nik who is taking my campaign to rename "podcasts" to "netcast" right to the source: iTunes. Nik explains how to modify iTunes so it says "Netcasts" instead of the hated "Podcasts."
He warns that you can screw up your iTunes, but it's really pretty straightforward. You're just replacing the localized strings - a feature Apple has designed into all its programs for easy translation. The screen shot at left comes from iTunes 7.0.1.
Thanks, Nik!
Skepticality is back! Woo hoo! And they're now the official podcast of Skeptic Magazine. Double woo hoo. Welcome back Derek and Swoopy! We missed you!
Is there a 12-step program for podcasters? It seems like I can't stop!
We have nine podcasts on the TWiT.tv network. We cover tech news, the Internet, security, gadgets, open source, biotech, media, computer help, and the Mac. What's missing from this list?
A Windows Vista podcast, of course. I've got a really good host in mind. He's agreed in principal, and I expect we'll launch when he gets back from vacation in early September. You're going to love this one.
And my off hand comment on TWiT a few weeks back about how we need a podcast covering the myriad legal issues surrounding copyright, net neutrality, privacy, and security, stimulated an avalanche of mail from interested lawyers. Denise Howell says she's willing to host - she's perfect for the job - and I think we'll be launching this roundtable in the next few weeks.
So that's three more podcasts coming soon to TWiT.tv. I can't promise I'll stop, but I do think we now have a pretty well rounded offering. You know why I'm doing all this, don't you? I want to be on the cover of Business Week just like Kevin!
"Tom Cruise's doughier little brother" will join us this week on TWiT, by the way, so we can rib him about the cover. Cory Doctorow will be on, too, now that's he's back in the States. Should be a good show.
