At Level Ground Podcasts now at 'Odeo'

Just finishing porting the first podcasts over to Odeo from Tripod (which will likely remain an archive). Go take a listen, if you haven't heard them yet. There are also pictures and video of the podcast content: scroll further down. Drop me a line with feedback about how they sound, content.

Any other really - but really good blogs/pocasts/vlogs you know about? Let me know.
