OK, so I’m a geek, nerd or whatever other word you want to describe me as. I love technology and indeed technology podcasts, but not all tech podcasts come up to scratch. I’m a PC man at heart. I’ve been programming PC’s for over 18 years. I do however get very frustrated when seemingly simple tasks, turn out to be absolute nightmares, or require a ton of money to be thrown at them.

I bought a digital video camera 2 years ago to primarily document my twin girls growing up. However after a year of frustration trying to edit and create DVDs on a PC, I finally bought into the hype and purchased a modest Mac Mini. This isn’t my first experience with the Mac, I used to produce a newspaper on Macs in the early 90’s, but they were different beasts back then and I do mean beasts. Anyway I bought a Mac and creating great looking DVDs became a synch. I love using my Mac for creating DVDs, but also wanted to find out what else it could do and so enter left stage, the Mac Cast.

Presented by Adam Christianson, this podcast comes out a couple of times a week and as well as covering all the latest in Mac news, also features some great products and reviews. I’ve found many a neat piece of software and also learned a lot about my Mac, I otherwise wouldn’t have found out. Adam has a great presentation style, but I have to admit, I find it a little dry at times, but technology isn’t the most sexy of subjects and it’s sometimes hard to get excited.

Another area that the MacCast excels in, is their show notes, which puts many other podcasters to shame.

Conclusion : A great podcast for learning all about your Mac. Even if you are not a Mac owner, listening to a few shows may turn you into one of the many converts.
