The Conversations Network has some great podcasts, a lot of which are recorded sessions from tech conferences. Here are a couple of my favorites from my last couple of weeks' worth of downloads.
Why Content Is *Still* King is a talk by Adam Bosworth, currently of Google. The focus of the podcast is about how building communities has supplanted the creation and promulgation of APIs as the primary mechanism for building successful applications. One example: Google Maps, which began without an API but became so popular and hacked around that Google finally built an API for it. The community came first, then the API.
What Teens Want is a panel discussion from the Web 2.0 2005 conference. It's pretty short (about 35 minutes) and is a lot of fun. If you want to hear what the kids these days are doing on the web, what they pay for and what they don't, and what they would do if they had one hundred dollars to spend on anything they wanted, this is the podcast for you. Incidentally, there was only time for a couple of audience questions at the end, and they sucked. Totally closed-ended questions that ended up getting pretty much zero information from the teen panelists.
