The Daily SearchCast is a podcast featuring Danny Sullivan’s views on the latest search news. I like that each daily podcast is annotated so you can preview the topics before listening to the whole thing.

I grab these podcasts on my Zen Creative if I’m going for a walk or a jog or to the gym. Rather than reading the daily headlines I can listen to them. But on days when I do read the headlines I don’t bother with the podcast. Doing both takes too much time and is redundant.

Generally I like the podcasts but they could be cut from 10-15 minutes (or sometimes more like 20 or 30 minutes) to about 5 minutes each day. Less joking around by the guys and more news! They also run ads at the beginning of the show, but it’s easy to fast-forward past those, which I guess is an advertising flaw. The conversational format is sometimes awkward, but hopefully over time the guys will settle in and get more comfortable with it.
