Here are some tech pointers of potential interest from some recent podcasts that I listened to:

• Eric Rice had a pointer to WebJay (build your own media play lists from online sources)
• Engadget.22.12.29.2004 had a pointer to ORB (personal digital media streaming)

Also I am really happy with Charlie Quidnunc's summaries of the political landscape in his daily Rip & Read Blogger Podcast.
