Once again there's lots of stuff on IT Conversations worth listening to:
Tim O'Reilly at the MySQLConference - great talk about open source, very entertaining. About companies unterstanding how addressing people works and which not
Roger McNamee at Software 2005 - the New Normal. Software trends after the big bubbles of the 90's. Very enlightening.
While there are definitely many podcasts that don't seem to be focused enough, too long or too technical there are always some real listening pearls. Actually, people like Mark Cuban are very entertaining. A general idea many current speeches rephrase in various ways is about addressing certain communities or turning customers into communities. The more customers can participate in any kind of development the more they tend to stay with a supplier or product.
