I have to admit, most podcasts could do with a healthy dose of the female input. There are very few female-dominated group podcasts around. Now from Podango Productions comes the latest one, Girls Gone Geek.

The hosts have different backgrounds and have varying technical capabilities, but the discussion is always lively and interesting.

Their tagline is a bit tacky, though : “Some girls go wild. We go wired!” ;-)

It’s a very simple format : a Ninja asks your questions. New episodes come out on a semi-regular basis. If you can’t get enough of the Ninja, the creators have come up with a DVD compiling the first 40 episodes plus lots of bonus materials.

If you are brave enough, you can ask the Ninja your own question!

Hard to believe that Podcasting has lasted this long. Activities include conference sessions, free exhibit hall presentations, networking functions and an exhibit hall. If you’re a podcaster, or just interesting in new media, and you are near Ontario, California, do drop by this weekend.

D-Day is Halloween 2007, 31st October. Successful podcast aggregators (and podcast companies) are not facing the runaway success that they expected. PodShow is doing OK, but PodTech is not. Other podcast networks like TWiT and Revision3 depend on a hardcore loyal following, rather than exploring new markets and new customers.
