HBO Specials
HBO recently had a mini series that followed Dane Cook and friends around on their comedy tour called "TOUR-gasm."
It was a tour, a cd, and a televsision series, and now a Podcast! You can check out a lot of skits from the 4 comdiens at their finale sold out show at Penn State University. Also you can access interviews and behind the scenes fun. each of the podcast, for the most part are between 1 and 4 mintues long. Each one is from one specific comedian that was on the tour and one of their jokes. On iTunes you can see the comedian's name and the name of their skit, which is great if you want to look them up on your own. There are a total of 13 episodes of interviews profiles, skits, and about segments.
The cool thing that I never mentioned in my other podcast reviews is the iTunes music store podcast page, in which they suggest other podcast and "other people that listen to this podcast also listened to....." Through this I found out that Dane Cook has his private podcast, as well as other comedians that i love.

Sakura House Interviews
I recently completed a project for the TUJ Podcast. It consists of student interviews that I conducted around the new Temple University Japan dorm that is located nearby the Ikigami line station called Ontakesan, in the town of Ootaku in the city of Tokyo in the country of Japan.
Students talk about common living space, the school commute, and what there is to do in this small town. Check it out at:

Gossiping with Podcasts
Star drama and hollywood gossip is now possible to reach more ears thanks to podcasting. yes, it is true now anyone can have their own celebrity gossip show thanks to the wonders of podcast.
This podcast, entitled "WireImage", is completed with the corny mega music intro music. The reporter is completly serious with the drama of the Hilton sisters as well as screenings and P. Diddy's celebrity parties. It does sound like a one woman show, however they do have sound clips from interiews of starts and agents. It is a 3 minute and some show with one reporter covering the story and then maybe, but not always, jumping to those audio clips. There is dramatic music playing through out the entire show, as well as the begining and end. Their website (http://wireimagepodcast.blogspot.com/) is also a blog which serves as an archive of short blurbs of information for each episode. WireImage provides an external link to hear these mp4's of gossip. With the external link, you have the possibility to view the show as a video podcast which mostly consist of still photos and transitions. However, the the news reporter is a real moving image and there is also some found footage. Besides the blogger.com website, this production team also has a wireimage.com home page for more gossip.
