| 18 | VideoMAKE Volume 29: DIY Superhuman | We have the technology (to quote The Six Million Dollar Man), but commercial tools for exploring, assisting, and augmenting our bodies really can approach a price tag of $6 million. Medical and assistive tech manufacturers must pay not just for R&D, but for expensive clinical trials, regulatory compliance, and liability -- and doesn't help with low pricing that these devices are typically paid for through insurance, rather than purchased directly. But many gadgets that restore people's abilities or enable new "superpowers" are surprisingly easy to make, and for tiny fractions of the costs of off-the-shelf equivalents. MAKE 29, the "DIY Superhuman" issue, explains how. | 6 1 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 26 | VideoCollin’s Lab: DIY Contact Mic | It's amazing what a little disk can do … when it's layered with piezoelectric crystals. Piezo disks are impressively sensitive to vibration and can easily be adapted to work as a contact microphones. The trick is the preamp - a basic circuit used to match the piezo's signal to levels compatible with modern audio gear inputs. The resulting piezo/preamp combo can be used for electrifying an acoustic guitar or simply exploring the lesser-heard world of small sound around us. | 20 12 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 40 | VideoHow-To: Holography | I always assumed that the process of making a hologram was so complex that it was limited to only those with access to expensive lasers and other fancy optical equipment. But when I heard that the Maker Shed started carrying Litiholo’s Hologram Kit, I was surprised that such a thing existed and I was eager to give it a try. After carefully following the directions, my first hologram was visible, but just barely. This was better than I expected, actually. The manual stresses that controlling vibration is the most important factor in creating a good hologram, but I live in a busy Brooklyn apartment building that often feels the low rumble of the subway trains rolling by. I tried to make another, but this time I increased the exposure time from five minutes to fifteen as the instructions suggested. The result was a surprisingly sharp hologram of a toy car. | 25 11 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Pretty damn good!
The content of these podcasts are excellent(especially the video ones) but the quality is lacking
Good Content Poor Sound
I have listened to a couple of these. The subject matter is potentially very interesting, however, the sound quality is extremely poor. Not something you can listen to if there is any external noise. If the sound quality was improved these would be great.
Problems syncing latest 'Weekend' episodes with iPhone 3G
Please sort out this issue. Your latest episodes do not sync with iPhone 3G. I can successfully sync volume 19 and previous. Other than that - great podcasts.
