Engadget Podcast 152 - 06.26.2009: The Day the Music Died 2

Trent Wolbe — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 15:50:00 EST

Filed under: Podcasts

Yes, that's the one and only MJ to open the podcast -- this one was recorded just shortly after the Engadget crew had learned the news. Join Josh, Paul, Nilay and special guest Chris Ziegler as they deny the Nokia N97, get angry at the HTC Hero, bargain with Windows 7, depress themselves over the fate of the netbook, and finally learn to accept the Zune HD's Tegra processor. We won't lie -- Engadget Podcast 152 was a struggle, but in the end we all learned a little something about life, love, and forgiveness.

Update: Any further tasteless MJ jokes will be met with a swift ban. Be nice!

Hosts: Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel, Paul Miller
Guest: Chris Ziegler
Producer: Trent Wolbe
Song: Billie Jean

It's been one hell of a month, hasn't it? New Palm phones, new iPhones, a big Kindle, that Natal thing... LL Cool J.

Engadget Podcast 150 - 06.12.2009

Trent Wolbe — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:06:00 EST

Filed under: Podcasts

It's the big one-five-zero, people, and you know what that means: absolutely nothing. We've got news to talk about, after all -- we'll leave the extensive accolades and embarrassing praise for the history books. If you hadn't guessed, this week's show is a bit heavy on the Apple sauce, so the squeamish should turn away before it's too late. Those inclined, however, to dive into MacBook SKUs and wax philosophical about the iPhone as a platform will likely get their money's worth. It'll be fun, we promise.

Song: Fat Boys - Stick 'Em

00:01:20 - Archos rolls out Archos 10s, Archos 13 laptops, Classmate-based student PC

Filed under: Podcasts

As you may soon become aware, this week's podcast is about two hours long. Now, we're aware that this might present a difficult scenario for those of you who like to rent out a sensory deprivation room every week to maximize the experience of listening to Josh, Nilay and Paul babble, so here are some usage ideas for this "wild card" hour of listening to be spent in the real world:

Listen to the first half of the podcast twice
Stand in line for the Pre for an hour and then leave
Teach yourself to juggle Wiimotes
Make a recording of yourself lightly chuckling off and on for an hour

Those are just a few of the things we though of off the top of our heads, we're sure you can improve upon these ideas when the moment of truth comes.

Filed under: Podcasts

We know it's been a long, difficult wait, filled with unspeakable hardships and maybe a bit of Saturday brunch, but the Engadget Podcast is here at last to take away the pain and churn through the insanity of this week's news like a hot knife through imitation butter. It's just Paul and Josh this week, and things should get even crazier next week as E3 descends upon us all, but we promise to get the gang back together real soon to deliver the sort of off-topic rants and delicious non-sequitors you've come to expect from these three beautiful men.

A quick note about the Engadget Podcast this week

Paul Miller — Fri, 29 May 2009 14:15:00 EST

Filed under: Podcasts

With Nilay on a well-deserved vacation and Josh on a whirlwind tour of the left coast for D7, E3 and WWDC, this week's podcast got reshuffled a bit and won't be available until late tonight or early tomorrow. For those of you who can survive the wait, you'll be treated to a totally casual discussion between Josh and Paul of this week's flood of news and the raw, inside story of a random hallway run-in with Steve Ballmer gone amuck.

Filed under: Podcasts

Josh Topolsky and Paul Miller walk into a bar, but the bar is a recording studio.

The bartender, who is the recording engineer, asks, "Why the long faces?"

"Sigh," Paul says, and looks down at his feet. "Nothing but a buncha crummy phone rumors and probably fake slim PS3 pictures this week."

"It's hard to podcast when there's no exciting news to podcast about," says Josh, staring off into the distance.

The door slams open: it's Nilay Patel. "I know what'll cheer you guys up!" he says as he slams three stiff drinks down on the table. "Trashing AT&T about the Slingplayer app!"

Smiles creep over Josh and Paul's faces. They nod, the engineer hits the record button, and history is made: The Engadget Podcast, volume 146.

Update: We added a video feed of your charming hosts from the recording studio after the break. It's definitely an experiment at this stage, so let us know what you think!

Hosts: Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel, Paul Miller
Producer: Trent Wolbe
Song: Around the World

00:01:42 - Wild and slim PS3 redesign caught on camera?

Bogged down and confused with the latest spate of wild mobile speculations? Relationship troubles clouding your judgment? Lonely? Well Josh, Nilay and Paul -- your jovial (yet often enraged) Engadget Podcast crew -- are back for another installment to help you sort all that out. In a week heavy on rumors (Palm Eos, Microsoft "Pink" and the not-so-nano "iPhone lite") and laden with opinion (Windows 7 RC1, TiVo's sad state of affairs), join the boys as they delve deep into the abyss that is gadgetry. Sure, there might never be a Zunephone, but remember: the beauty is in the journey... or something.

Hosts: Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel, Paul Miller
Producer: Trent Wolbe
Song: All That She Wants

00:01:13 - Palm Eos: super-thin, 3G, and headed to AT&T?

In case you aren't hip to the Twittersphere, Josh, Nilay, Paul and Engadget's own Twitter bot put out their feelers for listener questions this week, and got a lot of great material for discussion.

If you failed to seize upon this opportunity to ask, or found your own question heartlessly ignored, make sure to take advantage of the various avenues of contact listed below and ask away!

Producer: Trent Wolbe
Song: Ghostbusters

Trent Wolbe — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 13:24:00 EST

Filed under: Podcasts

We don't really get too reflective here at Engadget -- usually we're too busy getting news up to think much about ourselves. Still, when you hit your 5th birthday, you tend to want to look back and review how far you've come. We thought there'd be no better way to celebrate the milestone than by having the site's founder Peter Rojas, and instrumental architect Ryan Block on the show to discuss the early days of Engadget. So without further ado -- sit back and enjoy our 5th birthday podcast!

Hosts: Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel, Paul Miller
Guests: Peter Rojas, Ryan Block
Producer: Trent Wolbe
Song: Glomag - Pocket Calculator

00:18:45 - Phantom Controller Rebranded Saitek
01:03:12 - Engadget 1985
01:07:00 - Would you sell your kidney(s) for a Hush?
01:10:38 - PSP vs. DS
01:12:13 - The Engadget Interview: Bill Gates, Part 1

A quick note about the Engadget Podcast this week

Joshua Topolsky — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:23:00 EST

Filed under: Podcasts

We just wanted to give you guys a heads-up and let you know that while you won't see a new Engadget Podcast today -- don't worry -- it's not going anywhere! We had to shuffle our schedules a little bit to have on some very special guests, namely, Peter Rojas and Ryan Block. We decided it would be fun to celebrate Engadget's 5th birthday with a chat about how the site got its start. So... you should see the new podcast pop up in your queue sometime tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience!

Hear your friends Josh, Paul, and Nilay discuss the week in technology, and expound on their belief that the P.U.M.A. is a dangerous rickshaw, Acer has stepped up to the netbook plate in a big way, and Microsoft might not be totally on the level with its new ads. Ready to get the blood boiling? Dip your toes into the jacuzzi of chat that is the podcast, and enjoy!

Note: There appears to be some very weird timing issues going on with our audio in this installment. If it seems like we're talking over each other more than normal, don't be too alarmed. We're looking into it now.

Hosts: Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel, Paul Miller
Producer: Trent Wolbe

Here it comes, another action-packed hour of heartfelt learning and sharing, with your close personal friends Joshua, Nilay and Paul.

Trent Wolbe — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:31:00 EST

Filed under: Podcasts

Take heart, friend, your favorite three podcast hosts are back this week to talk Adamo and iPhone OS 3.0 -- not necessarily in that order, but probably exactly in that order. Listen with unguarded anticipation as Joshua Topolsky reveals his dream PC laptop, Paul Miller mourns his MacBook Air and Nilay Patel cradles his wide assortment of pet peeves, then flip the LP for a rigorous dissection of Apple's latest. It's gadget love (and hate) in its purest, most unadulterated form, and it all can be yours for the price of a single click.

P.S.- Josh was having some audio problems with his setup, apologies for the glitches -- it gets better at the end. We'll get it sorted next time!

Hosts: Joshua Topolsky, Nilay Patel, Paul Miller
Producer: Trent Wolbe
Song: The Misfits - We Are 138

01:15 - Dell Adamo announced: 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo, $1,999
31:03 - Apple previews iPhone OS 3.0, adds copy and paste, Spotlight search, plenty more

When not hobnobbing with Jimmy Fallon and unreleased Palm devices, Joshua likes to sit down with salt-of-the-earth folks like Nilay and Paul to chat up the week's gadget news and recount the tales from his jet-setting lifestyle.

Stay tuned -- we'll be rolling out a new podcast for each magical day of the show!

Hosts: Joshua Topolsky, Paul Miller, Nilay Patel
