Engadget Podcast 257 – 09.23.2011

We kind of don’t even know where to start these days! We’ve all heard about how technology expands exponentially, and this week feels like we are really getting cubed…or something. From the meta to the macro to the micro it was a silly-crazy week, and as hard as it was we did end up starting the podcast and tried to round it all up for you as best we could. It’s the Engadget Podcast, the only way we can do it.

Engadget Podcast 256 – 09.16.2011

This week, the Engadget Podcasters get caught up in the Windows racket–and who can blame them? It was Build week, and while a lot of other things happened too, it’s not every day, or week, or even year that we get a reveal of something this massive in the computing universe. The games, the cars, the and chips take a backseat while we step back and admire the cross-platform spectacle of Number 8.

Guest: Darren Murph, Richard Lawler
Producer: Trent Wolbe
Music: Stairway to Heaven

03:45 – Poll: Did you download Windows 8?

The Engadget Podcast, live at 5.30PM ET!

It’s time. And by “time,” we mean “time to get the gears of the Engadget Podcast churning once again.” Your hosts for tonight’s festivities are Engadget’s freshly inaugurated new Editor-in-Chief, Tim Stevens, and his right-hand man, Darren Murph. For one night only (or maybe every night for the rest of eternity), they’ll also be joined by the Mobile Podcast crew, who’ll help them steer a course through the weird and wacky waters of consumer electronics news from the past few days. Won’t you, dear reader, transform thyself into a listener and indulge us with an audience after the break? Something tells us you’ll be glad you did.

P.S. – If you’re on the move but don’t want to miss out on the live banter, Ustream has mobile clients for Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

Update: That’s a wrap! We’ll have it up tomorrow if you missed it!

The Engadget Podcast returns… tomorrow at 5PM ET!

The Engadget Podcast. What is it? Is it a living, breathing thing? Is it something that has to be seen to be believed? Is it more than just an hour-long stream of aural intensity, finely hewn and focused on the world of consumer electronics? It’s a mystery that even The Most Interesting Man in the World is having trouble solving, but we’re going to assume things will get a lot clearer when it returns to your regularly scheduled programming block tomorrow evening. Newly appointed Editor-in-Chief Tim Stevens and the perpetually lost Darren Murph will be your guides to somewhere, tomorrow joined by two special guests from the Engadget Mobile podcast team: international man of mystery Vlad Savov and mobile debutante Myriam Joire. It’s a foursome that’ll almost definitely make your workday woes vanish into thin air. Tomorrow. Here. 5PM ET… ish.

The Engadget Podcast, live at 6:00PM ET!

Your eyes don’t deceive you. The Engadget Podcast is back — and for this next, greatest episode, Josh, Paul, and Nilay will be sitting down to weigh in on all issues technology related. That’s right, we’re getting the band back together and jamming through the news the only way we know how: haphazardly, and with lots of screaming. Won’t you join us at 6:00PM ET for all the fun? Trust us, you won’t want to miss this!

Phew, what a week! We’re not sure we remember enough words to be able to describe the events of the past few days, but we’ll do our best. We’ll get the live show going promptly at 2PM EST today. Hey, where else are you gonna be on a Saturday afternoon? Outside? Good luck with that.

P.S. And don’t forget that Ustream has Android and iPhone clients as well, if you’re out and about and you can’t join in on the Flash-based fun below.

The Engadget Podcast, live at 2:30PM EST! (update: it’s done!)

It was a rough week after CES, full of debilitating sickness and Verizon iPhones. We think we’ve got it pretty much under control, however, so we hope you’ll join us for this Special Weekend Edition Podcast. Check out the stream and the chat after the break, we’ll get rolling around 2:30PM EST. That is, if none of us die before then.

The Engadget Podcast Show livestream extravaganza starts at 8PM PST / 11PM EST!

Alright, the past two days have been insanity, meaning our live Engadget Podcast Shows have happened at an ungodly hour, no matter which end of the US you happen to live. Today is totally insane too, but we’re going to take a break from the insanity to do an insane live show at 8PM Vegas Local Time (VLT), or 11PM EST, if that’s more your bag. We can’t promise to be any more coherent than the last two nights, but we can promise to be just as attractive and twice as argumentative. Don’t miss it. The stream and the chat are after the break.

Oh, and here are the last two shows, in case you missed them:
Engadget Podcast Show 002
Engadget Podcast Show 001
