Look (and Listen)

A recent discovery of mine is Miro, a vodcast player. It is open source, utilizing code from Firefox and VLC. Its also a bittorrent client. I really like the fact that it has nice browser functionality that can be configured in a similar fashion to Firefox. Another thing that drew me to this player was the amount of HD channels it listed out-of-the-box. Shows I enjoy watching include: Tekzilla, CNET, Earth-Touch and the now-defunct Food Science.

I know iTunes can do podcasting, but if there are things I can use that don't have Microsoft or Apple associated with them, I usually try to use them. For instance, I use QuickTime Alternative, Real Alternative, and VLC with various free codecs instead of Windows Media Player. I don't need to sync to a mp3 player and rarely encounter wmv or wma files (even if I did I'd transcode 'em).
