Direct from the podcast, thought it was too good to miss:

Researchers have discovered what appears to be a massive asshole in the blogosphere: an object which they believe could account for a previously unexplained increase in the number and intensity of random diatribesThe Onion Radio News

Other podcasts are available. The quality of The Onion Radio News may go down as well as up.

If you’re interested (and even if you aren’t), the other podcasts I subscribe to are:

• BBC Radio 4: The Friday Night Comedy Podcast (The Now Show and The News Quiz)
• Stephen Fry’s Podgrams
• The Onion News Network (video podcast)
• The Ouch! Podcast

You’ll notice a distinct lack of technology podcasts in there. There is good reason for this. This is because when I want to listen to my iPod it’s because I want to be entertained and I want to relax. I’m quite happy to read technology blogs, white papers, standards documents and so on but not as a form of relaxation… I still have some desire to retain some social skills and to be able to communicate with other human beings, rather than signing up as a fully-fledged member of The I.T. Crowd.
