The debate rages on about whether technical podcasts have any value compared to more quickly read (and searchable) tech articles, news briefs and other written formats. My view is that technical reading is superior, but not half as interesting. Documents miss the entertainment factor and the pleasure of hearing a discussion in process – we’re social creatures, we humans.

Chris Shiflett posts on the partnership of the PHP Pro Podcast and php|Architect which should help resolve the technical challanges of running what quickly became last Autumn a very popular podcast. Looking forward to the Andi Gutmans interview now scheduled for January 27th.
