Podcast

It's another recap of the week in tech at El Reg's sole podcast - coming to you live from England's capital this week. Join your host [1], Greg Knieriemen - Ed Saipetch and Sarah Vela remain Stateside - for a wrap-up of all the latest in consumer technology, and specifically storage. This week, Greg is joined by two special guests: Chris Evans of Architecting.IT [2] and El Reg's brand-new guest blogger [3] Martin Glassborow, otherwise known as StorageBod [4]. London readers are invited to join them for a StorageBeer at Aldgate's Dispensary pub [5]. In the podcast, they discuss object storage (a great idea, but no one seems to know what to DO with it); the Reg fraternity of bloggers and podcasters; what makes a decent beer; cloud hype; British politics; the divisive power of former Blighty prime minister Maggie Thatcher; and more...

This week we discuss...

• StorageBeers TONIGHT in London
• The challenge of object storage
• The real cost of public cloud storage
