Academic Technology Podcasts

There are podcasts out there for just about everything – even geeks who take up farm living. Among the several discipline-based podcasts floating around the educational podosphere, there are also a few that focus more specifically on academic technology. A short list culled from a post on the POD (Professional and Organizational Development Network) listerv follows after the jump (click below for more).
