On its journey to the quietly heralded version 3, BTPodShow.com and PodShow.com last night had a very strategic spruce-up with a new interface.
UPDATE: Adam Curry refers to this as less a facelift than a shot of botox! 
This interim change refocused the site around primary promotion of video content, which is – despite the understandable resistance [...]

As much for research as pleasure, I have tasted a whole bunch of independent audio books in recent months. The majority I do not care for – a matter of personal taste regarding both content and style more than anything else – but some did stand out as being well worth the listening time.
