This is the home of Eric M. Larson's podcasts, from Ericast.com! Here you'll find a mix of philosophy and technology (perhaps "philosophizing about technology"?) with a little talk of religion, current events, and daily living thrown in. Add the occasional RIAA-free song to give you a break from the monotony, and you've got the Ericast. If (when!) you listen, be sure to e-mail or call and share your thoughts!
