My next favourite video podcast, has to be “Tekzilla“. I have been watching this show from the first episode in September 2007.

Tekzilla's Patrick & Veronica

I try to watch things that are going to show me or teach me things I don’t already know. Tekzilla is one of those shows which offers a huge breadth of advice and features on things you would find genuinely useful to do. As the show has gone on, it has focused more and more on viewer submitted questions to the point now where that is their exclusive content. I would say that most of the tips are neither quite beginner level tips, nor are in-depth super geek power user type tips either.

The show is now hosted by the near perfect duo of Patrick Norton and Veronica Belmont (Wikipedia), both well known names in the new media / tech world.

Tekzilla episodes vary from anything to 30 minutes to an hour, lately closer to the former. They come out weekly, although in addition there is a 1 minute daily show (Monday to Friday) were one of the presenters give you really useful tips for getting the most out of your every day computing experience.

The show is also provided in a great variety of video formats, including hi-def. There are RSS feeds for each of the formats, as well as a choice of subscribing either separately to the weekly and daily shows, or both as a single feed, for each video fomat.

Given that there are so many RSS feeds, I won’t link to them all here. I’ll just wrap up by saying that if Tekzilla sounds like a show for you, then visit them at this link – http://revision3.com/tekzilla/

As a taster, here is their Christmas 2008 episode, a cut down 16 minute episode showing their top 10 tips of the year.
