Greetings Zombie Squeezebox Owners, If you navigate to Radio->Staff Picks->Ben's Picks>Podcasts, the list has been refreshed with some new picks. Two trivia/quiz show style, one sports commentary, and one music-based podcast.
Ask Me Another (NPR) blends brainteasers and local pub trivia night with comedy and music into a rambunctious hour-long show. Play along as Host Ophira Eisenberg invites in-studio guests and listeners alike to stretch their noggins, tickle their funny bones, and enjoy witty banter and guitar riffs from house musician Jonathan Coulton. What you'll hear resembles the casual intimacy of game night at a friend's house: one where scores are forgotten in favor of hilarious gaffes.

It's the ultimate nutrition for your brain. So eat up! Good Job, Brain! was started through a kickstarter project and is independently produced.

More here http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/hang_up_and_listen.html Music for Programming is a periodically updated podcast of ambient music specifically designed for use when focusing on coding (or other focus-necessary activities). It's reminiscent of e.g. Soma's Groove Salad, but it's definitely its own animal.

So, I removed that one from the list. Several years post-squeezebox "death", my 10 squeezeboxes are all chugging along nicely, thankyouverymuch. Never give up! Never surrender! cheers, #!/ben +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: nevergiveup.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16753| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Former Logitech Developer: Squeezeplay/SqueezeOS/SqueezeboxController/SqueezeCenter Community Developer: Nokia770Skin (r.i.p.) http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ 'KHAAAN!'
