			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="floatright" src="http://www.faithandweb.com/images/podcast.jpg" alt="Podcast icon" width="150" height="161" align="right" />I swear I have a life aside from building websites.  Not much, arguably.  But right now, even as I type this I&#8217;m cooking some seriously yummy-smelling Black Bean Espresso Chili for dinner with Mr. Web Diva.  The thing is&#8230;.  much as I love to cook, etc., etc., it&#8217;s so much more fun when listening to geeky podcasts.  To share the love, here&#8217;s a list of my five favorites for webmasters building sites for their congregations and faith communities.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://boagworld.com/">Boagworld</a></strong><br />
This one is a no-brainer.  Paul Boag and Marcus Lillington&#8217;s light-hearted weekly romp through the webmaster world is by far the most popular podcast for &#8220;all those involved in designing, developing and running websites.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://www2.webmasterradio.fm/wordpress-community-podcast/">WordPress Community Podcast</a></strong><br />
Far less obvious&#8230;.  Hopefully your website uses some kind of Content Management System &#8212; and there&#8217;s a good podcast to keep you up to date with the latest.  Thus, if you use Drupal, I&#8217;d suggest <a href="http://geeksandgod.com/">Geeks and God</a> or the delightful <a href="http://www.lullabot.com/">Lullabots</a>. My congregation uses WordPress and we love it.  I&#8217;ve looked around for WP podcasts and this one is the best I&#8217;ve found so far.  Its news section is particularly helpful, alerting you to security patches and plug-ins.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://webaxe.blogspot.com/">WebAxe</a></strong><br />
<a href="http://www.faithandweb.com/2007/05/01/my-fathers-daughter-blogging-against-disablism/">Web accessibility</a>: it&#8217;s a subject near-and-dear to my heart, but more to the point, for a church webmaster it&#8217;s the right thing to do.  WebAxe is a great podcast devoted to all aspect of website accessibility.  Every episode I learn surprising and helpful tidbits.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://digitalmarketer.quickanddirtytips.com/">The Digital Marketer</a></strong><br />
Part of the excellent <em>Quick and Dirty Tips</em> set of podcasts, <em>The Digital Marketer</em> is &#8220;a social media expert offer[ing] tech tips and tricks and information on the latest social media tools to help you market your business.&#8221;  As a webmaster, I&#8217;m actually wearing out with &#8220;social media experts,&#8221; many of whom seem to fancy themselves web experts too.  But Aliza Sherman is an exception.  She knows her stuff and keeps it mercifully short-and-to-the-point.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://twit.tv/twig">This Week in Google</a></strong><br />
Currently, this is my favorite podcast &#8212; period.  Google is infinitely fascinating and what a delight to have the wonderful outsider trio of Leo Laporte, Gina Trapani and Jeff Jarvis digging into the latest ups and downs with in hub of the web.</li>
</ul>
<p>What other podcasts are there that would be helpful to webmasters serving their congregations or faiths? I&#8217;d love to know your favorites.</p>
