The Olympics are over; the fall season is on the way.  Our company resides in the Boston area, and we found a podcast that we must take advantage of before the dog days of summer and all the nice flowers and leaves are gone: a podcast tour of our fine public garden, presented with a equally fine New England accent.

Also enjoy other last remnants of summer activity , such as camp and cycling and a bit of vacation, to keep you in a sunny mood for a bit longer.

The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games are underway, and we’ve collected a few podcasts about the Olympics along with a feed featuring a few episodes from non-Olympic podcasts that specifically celebrate the games.  Enjoy the sporting celebration from wherever you are with our Olympic feature on Podcast.com!

We just tabulated your Top 25 podcasts on Podcast.com for the month of July! The Top 25 is representative of the podcasts you are listening to and watching on the Podcast.com website. As was the case last month we had eight new podcasts in the list this month, and six of those podcasts were in our Top 25 for the month of June.  Looks like you have been consistent in the podcasts you want.

Will there be a new eight (or more? less?) new podcasts in the Top 25 next month? If your favorite podcast is missing from this list, all you have to do is listen to it or watch it on the Podcast.com site for it to make the Top 25 podcast list for the month of July.  For now, here’s the Top 25 podcasts for July with the new entries into the list in bold letters:

We just tabulated your Top 25 podcasts on Podcast.com for the month of June! The Top 25 is representative of the podcasts you are listening to and watching on the Podcast.com website. We have eight new podcasts in this month’s list, and the biggest jump up the charts was from 60/20 Sports with James Carville and Luke Russert, due in part to people searching for content following the premature passing of Luke’s dad Tim Russert on June 13.
