TUAW Talkcast #22: Ghosts of Macworlds

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 10:55:34 -0800

Filed under: TUAW Business, Podcasts As Dave mentioned earlier, Sunday's talkcast gave a survey of some of the finest moments of Macworld Expos past -- and I've been so crazed getting ready to go west, I nearly forgot to make the show live. Download the show directly or from Talkshoe, play it from the Flash player in the continuation of this post, if you like, or pick it up on iTunes. Please forgive as well my coughing during the show; I'm feeling much better now, thanks. This coming Sunday we'll be kicking off our Macworld Expo coverage with an early show at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET, an open-phones opportunity for all of you to call in and let us know what you want to see from the show floor, the keynote and the conferences. Time permitting, we'll be doing another brief show Monday night with a sense of the pre-keynote atmosphere, and maybe even a Tuesday morning chat from our seats in line. Keep an eye on the Talkshoe page and click the 'follow' button to get updates on the show schedule. We'll also tweet and tag when we've got talkcasts planned for next week.

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 09:56:58 -0800

Filed under: Podcasts We had a fun time on last Sunday's show, covering everything from the surge in higher-ed Mac purchasing to the insightful interview with Ambrosia's Andrew Welch with panelists Mat, Dave & Erica; now you can hear it in glorious, mostly-clear MP3 monophonic audio (there are some voice dropouts at the 22 minute mark, but it clears up after that). You can download the show directly, see it in our RSS or iTunes feeds, or stream it from Talkshoe. Tonight we'll have Dave C. back along with Mike Schramm for a whirlwind review of the week that was, along with your Ask TUAW questions and comments. To join in live, visit our Talkshoe page for call-in info.

TUAW Talkcast #7: Inside the iPhone Dev

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 16:31:39 -0800

Filed under: Podcasts Listen in for a wild and wide-ranging session with special guest Kai Cherry as we cover the ins and outs of the iPhone development scene, with an emphasis on the unlock options that have emerged. We had a rollicking time last Sunday night (so rollicking, in fact, that it's taken me all week to mix down the show -- my apologies!) and we are working on improving the audio quality both for the live show and the final podcast that results. You can catch the show on our feeds (RSS and iTunes) or via direct download here. Please join us again tomorrow night (Sunday 9/23 at 9 pm ET) for another live show; more discussion of your favorite Apple topics with bloggers Mike Schramm, Dave Caolo and Mat Lu. Shuffle on over to Talkshoe for the client and call-in details. Remember, with the new Talkshoe interface you can call in anonymously (#1 after entering the show ID, 45077), auto-connect with your PIN via caller ID (#2), or just start entering your PIN immediately. VoIP clients like Gizmo, Xmeeting, Skype or Talkshoe's built-in Shoephone will also work just fine. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Podcasts A rollicking half-hour review of the week's top stories and some reader questions answered with your hosts David Chartier, Mike Schramm and Michael Rose, now in convenient audio form. We got rolling a bit late due to call-in problems (maybe you heard about a wee outage over at Skype, which apparently gave all the other VoIP services some sympathy pains) but we had a great time and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed talking. You can pick up the 'cast from our RSS & iTunes feeds, via direct download here, or over at Talkshoe. C'mon back next Thursday night for the live show when David picks up the hosting reins.

TUAW Podcast #26: File

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 12:01:43 -0800

Filed under: Software, Cool tools, How-tos, Productivity, Internet Tools, Podcasts We talk up the file launcher and manipulator Quicksilver quite a bit here at TUAW, but there is a solid batch of similar productivity-enhancing utilities that offer different things for different users. Whether you're looking for a simple utility that lets you launch your applications faster than Spotlight can find them, or you're prepared to step up to vast amounts of power and flexibility with what you find and how you use it, chances are I covered an app in this screencast that will fit the bill for you. From the power of Butler to the simplicity of Namely, I wanted to give you at least some of the basics and a visual on how 5 different launchers work, as well as their pros and cons and how they differ from each other. However, since I am a Quicksilver lover at heart, it is very likely that I missed a key feature or two in these apps, so feel free to highlight your favorite features and what you think new users can truly benefit from in the comments. Also, for anyone interested in what I'm using to create these screencasts, I include a very short blurb at the beginning which highlights a few of the tools I use to record the screencast and create some of the effects I use. This time around I've decided to try something different, and I've created two versions of the screencast. In our podcast feed is an iPod-friendly version of the podcast that's 640 x 400, 17 minute and 40 MB - that's the one you can get by subscribing to our iTunes Store podcast feed or our direct TUAW podcast feed. I've also created an HD version for those who want something with a little more detail (sorry, we don't have an RSS feed for HD podcasts yet; this is a new thing so we'll see how it goes). That one will look better on larger displays and should play mighty fine on the Apple TV. To make sure we're all on the same page and that you can run out and grab demos of these launchers, here is a list of links to all the apps I mention in the screencast, including the ones I use to create and record it: Launchers * Quicksilver - donationware * LaunchBar - commercial: $19.95 * Butler - donationware * Overflow - commercial: $14.95 * Namely - donationware Screencast recording * Desktopple Pro - hiding the desktop icons, custom wallpaper and more (which we've mentioned before) * Mousepos - spotlight effects, keystroke overlays (which I didn't use in this specific screencast) and other presentation highlighting tools (mentioned here) * iShowU - excellent and customizable app for recording screencasts (mentioned a couple times here) I hope you enjoy the screencast, and please feel free to leave feedback to let me know how I'm doing with producing these. If you prefer HD podcasts that look better on screen and can play on an Apple TV (instead of 640 px wide podcasts which are the max an iPod can handle), definitely let me know that too.

Requesting Feedback on the TUAW

Fri, 05 Jan 2007 11:19:44 -0800

Filed under: Odds and ends, Podcasts Unfortunately, we won't be having a podcast this week on account of some medical troubles of yours truly. In light of this void, however, we figured it would be perfect time to solicit some feedback on how we're doing so far. Do you want to hear more witty banter from the TUAW bloggers? More screencasts? Too long or short? Would you like more tips and tricks or commentary on current Apple events? We know sound quality is an issue, and we're working on it (I just picked up a Blue Snowball for you guys, and I'm trying to learn everything I can about how best to leverage it). If you need a review, check out our most recent podcasts: #11, #12 (a Quicksilver screencast) and #13, or simply subscribe to our iTS podcast feed or straight-up podcast RSS feed to get caught up. So let's hear it: what would you like out of the TUAW podcast? Obviously, we'd like you to keep your requests realistic and constructive (i.e. - we're working on a Steve Jobs interview, but don't hold your breath), but we'll do our best to take your feedback to heart and make the TUAW podcast one of the best darn Apple-centric podcasts you can lay your ears on.
