Favourite Podcasts

I'm not a heavy music listener, but I am a heavy podcast listener. These are the podcasts that I consistently follow, within the categories of theology/spirituality and technology.

Theology/Spirituality

I consistently follow three podcasts in this category. Two are from The Meeting House chain of churches across Ontario (main site is in Oakville). I have been following the main teaching since 2007, and at that point I also went back and listened to pretty much everything else available from them. I also listen to the RoundTable which are less structured conversations of people in the leadership of the Meeting House, and often features guests as well. Both RSS feeds are available from The Meeting House Teaching page (bottom of the page) or you can select individual teachings to listen to. The main teachings are also available in video.

Another church that I follow is Woodland Hills Church in Minnesota where Greg Boyd is the primary teaching pastor. It is technically a nondenonimational church, but identifies itself as being inspired primarily from the Anabaptist tradition, as well as the Pietist and evangelical emphases within orthodox Christianity. A few of Boyd's books also appear on my Recommended Books list.

Technology

In the area of technology, I listen to two main podcasts consistently, both related to my love of BlackBerry: the Crackberry podcast and the Mobile Nations podcast. Mobile Nations is a network of sites each devoted to the main 5 mobile operating systems (including the now-discontinued WebOS). Each podcast, representatives from their respective "mobile nation" come together to talk about the big news in mobile. Related to this is the CrackBerry podcast, which has a team of usually up to 5 people who discuss the major news in the world of BlackBerry. They don't operate on a consistent schedule as Mobile Nations does, but rather record as they feel necessary after big news.
