MacTake Rhymes With...★
What is this? This, realization! ( Yes, I know I just posted. You can have two today.)I have just realized why the name MacTake fits so nicely in my head. It rhymes with MacBreak or MacBreak Weekly, which are podcasts ( Sorry Leo, I mean, MacBreak is a Video Show), that I dearly dearly enjoy. Mind you, they both rhyme with each other too.
So half this post being an apology for my squandered blog name, the rest of it shall be devoted to:
PODCASTS, and (TV SHOWS), I LOVE.. In no particular order.
The MacCast. ( http://www.maccast.com/ )
Okay, we'd have to start with Adam Christianson over at the MacCast, which I have to say is outstanding. Everything from the work put into making both enhanced and normal feeds, to his informative and balanced views on all things Mac, puts his podcast somewhere on the Life-Is-Too-Short-To-Miss-Even-One-Episode column.
This Week In Tech (tWiT) ( http://www.twit.tv/ )
The tWiT podcast, featuring Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, Kevin Rose etc.
( Ahem, I just realised. Yes John C. Dvorak, I referred to you as 'etc')
I'm kidding really. Featuring:
Join Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, Kevin Rose, John C. Dvorak, Merlin Mann (Lately a lot more than.. before lately)
All of these people which I have a very, manly and non-anythingelse, love for. Thats right.
This podcast is brilliantly produced, and the balance of views expressed... yada yada yada ( It's really, really, good)
MacBreak ( http://www.twit.tv/MB )
Oh I do feel an insatiable desire to see more and more of this video show. Oh I do indeed. What ho! Its brilliant, and, well words will not do it justice. Featuring Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, and oh-so-many other interesting people, do not, I repeat, do NOT miss out on this. Ever!MacBreak Weekly ( http://www.twit.tv/mbw )
Featuring John Foster, Merlin Mann, Scot Bourne, and Alex Lindsay. Another do-not-miss. In fact, if i've listed a blog or podcast or tv show on this post, its because I really do honestly think that one should subscribe to it. This is an audio only complement to the video macbreak, and is (thankfully) updated a little more regularly.
Typical Mac User Podcast ( http://www.typicalmacuser.com/ )
Hosted by Victor Cajiao, ( a name I always have difficulty both pronouncing and spelling ), this Podcast is simply, excellent. Victor doesn't always get as much mention as the good people at tWiT or the MacCast, but that makes him none the lesser 'caster. In fact, I always get a little excited whenever he realeases a new episode. Victor also does a podcast called Immigration Tales, which is really, (and i mean really) interesting.
Finally, the MacRoundTable Podcast ( http://www.macroundtable.com )
Hosted by Adam Christianson, Steve Stanger, Tim Verpooten, Joseph Nilo. This another no-miss podcast, especially, when its updated!Final note, if i haven't mentioned a podcast thats mac, thats good, its probably because I haven't had time to look at it, so update me if you know something out there that i'm missing!

Thanks for the mention of the Typical Mac User Podcast. As far as my last name try this for pronunciation.
Ca(like California) He (like "He da man") Ah (like Ah I think I'm getting it now) O (O I think I've got it now).
I'm honored to be listed among these other fine podcasts all of which I listen to. By the way I do a live podcast where you can call in on Sunday 5 PM PST at http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=3097

For me too, thanks for the awesome endorsement. This is a great list of must hear Mac/Tech shows.
By: maccast
Gee, Thanks both Adam & Victor!
Right now, I'm the one feeling really honored!
I'm duly practicing the pronounciation of your last name Victor, so I can hopefully drop call in this sunday! ( I'll try dutifully to be awake, currently at GMT timezone and i'll have to do the conversions later ).
Right now having a lot of difficulty correcting various spelling mistakes all over this blog, I've been doing far too many posts per day so having trouble keeping up with it all, especially as its exam time for me right now!
Thanks for dropping in guys, looking forward to your next podcast episodes!

Huh * just an update *, Victor, I just realized why you hadn't posted any podcasts in 2007. My feed has been corrupted.
I feel like i did after I missed a week of the simpsons. Terrible!
Time for a TMUP Marathon! Yay!
By: Skippy
Wow you probably though I was such a huge flake.
Love to have you add some content to TMUP anytime Skippy.
Also you probably heard I'm producing a show with Adam as host starting this Sunday 10AM PST on talkshoe.com called Maccast Loop.
It's Adam's brain child, I'm just going to play producer and have a great time doing it.
It's part of what I love about the MacGeek community, we help each other win.
By: Victor
Yup, I heard!
Looking forward to it desperately.
Its about time I do my usual round-up of best mac podcasts around, but I have a feeling that the MacCast Loop will make it on the list easily!
See you Sunday!
