Finding Better Tech Broadcasts?
BearGrylls writes "As a young lad and aspiring technologist I have found shows like Revision3's 'The Broken' and 'Systm' to be entertaining, informative, and, most importantly, thorough. As time has gone on revision3 has kept some of the tech-related shows, but dumbed them down to appeal to a larger audience. This annoyed me, but I've continued to be a loyal viewer of their tech shows anyway. However, I suspect this trend to continue and my disappointment to grow. Where can I find tech shows that dive deep into projects and discussions instead of simply skimming the surface?"
I have also found them to dumb down the old shows. But they just added Hak5 to their lineup. This show is great for advanced users. They really get technical with all things network, hacking, games, .... I also found the audio pod casts from Leo Leport to be good.
I listen to TWIT (This Week In Tech) regularly, mainly for Leo Laporte and any guest who isn't Dvorak. I don't find Leo to be particularly techy, but he's quite entertaining and controls the flow of the show well.
They mention Rev3 alot and also a new site called GDGT (GaDGeT) which is supposedly good - I must admit I haven't found time to check it out yet.
Okay no excuses, subsribing to an RSS feed is dead simple, so I'm going go ahead and subscribe to GDGT and check it out. - Oh and IO9 while I'm at it.

Oddly, I thought your point was clearer the first time!
As it happens I do quite enjoy The Gadget Show (UK) - although it doesn't always go into as much detail as I would like, and suffers from an occasional bout of "oooh... shiney!".

http://hackermedia.org/ is a site that aggregates awesome tech shows. If anyone sees anything that I am missing please email me. While I am pimping out projects I work on, http://hackerpublicradio.org/ is a great show that is done by the community, not any set hosts.
No-one says stadia.
I present myself as a counterexample.
It's not even correct to do so.
The Oxford English Dictionary and American Heritage Dictionary offer both "stadiums" and "stadia" as plurals for "stadium". Webster offers only "stadia".
English nouns (such as stadium) pluralize with an s on the end.
There are no simple criterions for determining how English nouns pluralise, whatever they may teach childs where you live. Yet somehow, in spite of the many "crisises" of which we hear so much in the mediums, the English language has survived. It seems to have more lifes than a cat.
It's not always tech, but it's never dumbed-down. 2 hours a week. Podcast available.
