Shot of Jaq cuts the crap

Short, sharp, and straight to the point.
There’s a hell of a lot of random waffle about technology out there. That’s why I like Shot of Jaq.
A twice-weekly 10-minute shotcast from Jono Bacon and Stuart “Aq” Langridge (Jono+Aq=Jaq) they cover a wide range of geek topics. Recent shots have tackled the impending the rise of ARM netbooks, the nightmare maze of ebook incompatibility, and whether Android is living up to it’s early promise as an iPhone killer.
The guys have an obvious rapport, having worked together before on Lugradio. The initial part of each shot is scripted, followed by the random musings of the two presenters, after which the topic is thrown open to the listeners and continues on the site, Twitter and IRC.
So far it’s been good stuff, I hope the guys can keep finding interesting stuff to argue about every Tuesday and Thursday for a long while yet.
