I just got around to listening to a couple of episodes from the recently restarted podcast formerly known as “The Gillmor Gang” (now just called “The Gang”, I believe, due to some hassles with Podshow which I don’t have all the details on). I haven’t caught up to the latest batch yet, but the first couple were very entertaining.
It just reminded me how great this show, and podcasts in general, can be. I say podcasts in general because this is the kind of show that no commercial network would ever carry (for long, anyway). The lack of “polish” is a huge plus in my book, despite what some people (even some participants on the show) might think.
Speaking of that, although listening to Jason Calacanis and even Mike Arrington for any amount of time can be extremely annoying, it’s even worth sitting through that because of all the other good content balancing it out. You might even say it’s because of that, because you get to hear people who strongly disagree with each other do so without pulling any punches but also without crossing the line of disrespect.
You can catch the show at the Gillmor Group on Facebook, or via the RSS feed directly.

I was going to post about the Gang earlier but didn’t have the time.
Something Steve is requesting was not to publish the RSS feed. He wanted everyone to join the facebook group first in order to communicate with the listeners a little better. And from the messages I’ve received their/his plans are awesome, e.g. getting our GR shared items.
