# A few Portland techie podcasts for your Sunday afternoon or your Monday morning commute

Last Friday was podcast day for me. And for as nervous as I was, I think they turned out pretty well. No doubt thanks to the talented people actually managing the whole podcast thing and me just having to spout off every now and again.

So, I thought I’d share the links, in case you were interested in listening.

### [OPB Think Out Loud on open source](http://action.publicbroadcasting.net/opb/posts/list/1356610.page "OPB Think Out Loud Open Source City")

[Jim Zemlin](http://www.linux-foundation.org/weblogs/jzemlin/ "Jim Zemlin"), [Raven Zachary](http://portlandonfire.com/ravenzachary "Raven Zachary"), [Audrey Eschright](http://portlandonfire.com/audreyeschright "Audrey Eschright"), and I had the opportunity to chat about open source and the open source scene in Portland. Topics include [OSCON](http://www.conferences.oreilly.com/oscon/ "OSCON"), how we all use open source software and may not even know it, corporate adoption of open source, Portland’s culture as a complement to the open source community, [open-source rockets](http://psas.pdx.edu/ "Open source rockets"), and [NTEN](http://nten.org/ "NTEN").

### [Strange Love Live Tech Edition with Rick Turoczy](http://www.camikaos.com/2008/07/time-is-folding.html "Strange Love Live Rick Turoczy")

Cami Kaos and Dr. Normal invited me over for a tech edition of [Strange Love Live](http://www.strangelovelive.com "Strange Love Live") (if you’re not [watching](http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/585505 "Ustream of Strange Love Live")/listening, you should be). And we were lucky enough to command a live studio audience as well, featuring [Michelle Anderson (mediachick)](http://twitter.com/mediachick "Mediachick"), [Amber Case (caseorganic)](http://twitter.com/caseorganic "Caseorganic"), [Bram Pitoyo](http://twitter.com/brampitoyo "Bram Pitoyo"), and [Kelly Guimont (verso)](http://twitter.com/verso "verso"). Topics included the reasoning behind [Silicon Florist](http://siliconflorist.com "Silicon Florist"), the Portland tech scene, [Vidoop](http://vidoop.com "Vidoop"), [Intrigo](http://intrigo.com "Intrigo"), OSCON, the [Open Web Foundation](http://openwebfoundation.org "Open Web Foundation"), and more.

*\[Update\]* If you’re interested in streaming the podcasts—instead of downloading them—[Cami Kaos has posted the streaming audio files to her blog](http://www.camikaos.com/2008/07/strange-love-talking-with-turoczy.html "Strange Love talking with Turoczy").

### [Strange Love Live #afterhours with Rick Turoczy](http://www.strangelovelive.com/ "Strange Love Live Rick Turoczy")

Once the serious Strange Love stuff is done, the [cameras keep rolling for the #afterhours discussion](http://http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/585633 "Strange Love Live on Ustream"). We continued talking about some of the tech topics, discussed my sleeping habits (or lack thereof), talked about and lightsaber-ed with the [iPhone](http://apple.com/iphone "Apple iPhone"), made some tech predictions including hinting at [Marshall Kirkpatrick](http://marshallk.com "Marshall Kirkpatrick")‘s upcoming [internet brain implant](http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_internet_brain_implant.php "internet brain implant") venture, thanked our luck stars for [OurPDX](http://ourpdx.net "OurPDX"), introduced folks to [Planet PDX](http://pdx.epiglyph.com/ "Planet PDX"), talked about upcoming guest [Melissa Lion](http://melissalion.com "Melissa Lion"), and got into a pretty serious bidding war for sponsoring Strange Love Live.

### So… what do you think?

Suffice it to say, this was a trial by fire for me and audio. So I’d love to hear feedback as to a) whether I was intelligible at all and b) if I was intelligible, if you’d be interested in more podcasts from yours truly.

Looking forward to your feedback.
