It’s been less that a year since I blogged about Buzz Out Loud’s Loss (CNET), and Mahalo’s gain. Now big Jason must be driving up and down 101 in a loaner Tesla looking for someone more awesome than Veronica as she heads out the door.

Word has it she may be heading to Rev3 .. but I am hoping we will see her on Network Television. She is now accustom to the daily grind of production and ready for the big leagues.

Wherever you land Veronica — your fans will no doubt be there to cheer you on as you work you next riff.

Updated 8 April - Veronica is heading to Revision as the new host of TekZilla, sourced from her blog.

For me, walking to the dog and listening to an updated on the latest tech news, or being entertained by a comedy podcast is just awesome. This is new media. While once we were all enslaved to hundreds of free and for-pay tech journals .. today, we can just relax, sit back and listen.

Production values of both audio and video podcasts are improving .. little things that drive one nuts like variable audio levels, bad editing and host banter seem to be a thing of the past.

Emerging from the swamp are hosts that are less interested in their own persona and more interested in educating and entertaining their listeners. What is emerging is real personalities.

Notable are:

It seems to be that the more relaxed the hosts, the easier the segments are on the listeners. Taking one less serious seems to be key to reducing the listener stress.
