Alex Williams of DecisionCast, who will be part of the IT Conversations broadcast from Gnomedex next week, would like your help. He’s conducting an online survey with Wainhouse Research. It only takes 10-15 minutes and there’s a chance you’ll win an Amazon.com gift certificate or an iPod.

I don’t know what took me so long. Listeners of IT Conversations have been telling me about .NET Rocks for a long time now. I finally went over there to check it out…very cool. Carl Franklin and Rory Blyth produce an entertaining two-hour show every week. You can stream it live or download on-demand in MP3 or Windows Media format in a variety of filesize/quality options. Broadcast-quality audio, interesting hosts and first-rate guests. They’ve been producing the show for more than two years, predating IT Converations by three months. According to their on-line stats, .NET Rocks gets about 5x our volume of listeners. Mostly about Microsoft, MSDN and .NET of course, with humor and music thrown in. Notifications (but no enclosures) via RSS. Check it out.

Mack, Andrew and Megan (three students at the University of Alberta in Edmonton) have launched a nice audio site at Blogosphere Radio. Just getting started, they’ve got an interview with Darren Barefoot, a 3-4 minute blog news show, and an informal interactive audioblog. Lots of IT Conversations-like features such as a ratings system, RSS feeds (but no enclosures), and a nice clean UI. [Source: Adam Curry]
