| 30 | VideoEp. 1559: Buzz Out Loud Bonus Makeup Monday Show | Today was a special day because it was the Buzz Out Loud Bonus Makeup Monday Show. Netflix is still in the news while some major rivals show off their goods this week including Amazon, Dish Network & Blockbuster. Facebook is scaring people all around the world with the latest changes. Is logging off of Facebook enough? And we hear from our fans in an extended Feedback Loop Loop Loop. We will be back live on Thursday at 10am PST so please tune in. | 9/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 31 | VideoBuzz Out Loud: Ep. 1558: Dish and Blockbuster: meh? | Dish and Blockbuster announce their Netflix-killing movie delivery and streaming plan, but it's kind of a letdown unless you're a really happy Dish subscriber. HP puts Meg Whitman in charge and boots Leo Apotheker, which no one seems all that happy about except maybe HP's wildly dysfunctional board. The entire foundation of the world and physics is rocked by the possibility of particles that can travel faster than light, but mostly, you just wish we could go back in time and un-announce that the show's going weekly. Hey, but bonus show Monday! See you then! | 9/23/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 32 | VideoBuzz Out Loud: Ep. 1557: Facebook is not the boss of me | Adam Curry joins the show today to discuss Google's antitrust hearing (charade or not charade?), Facebook's redesign backlash, and how HP's board is looking at ousting Leo Apotheker as CEO--which apparently has many more political ramifications than we would have expected.

| 33 | VideoBuzz Out Loud: Ep. 1556: Google+ and Facebook: headed for a showdown | We're looking ahead to Facebook's F8 conference, where we're expecting all new buttons, tons of data porn, and ever more personalized advertising. Google is also looking ahead to Facebook's F8 conference, by opening Google+ to everyone and making hangouts even more awesome. Plus, we imagine a world in which AT&T's ongoing efforts to push through the T-Mobile acquisition could actually result in increased competition and a smaller, less terrifying incarnation of AT&T itself. And then we crack ourselves up. Also, yeah, Fordo's still going. | 9/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 34 | VideoBuzz Out Loud: Ep. 1555: Netflix to Qwikster to Regretflix? | Netflix rocks our world with the news that they're splitting up into two separate companies: Netflix for streaming and embedded media delivery, and Qwikster (yeah, seriously) for DVD delivery. Best part? Two Websites, two accounts, two queues! What's not to love? Also, Google Wallet and AT&T LTE arrive, Molly tees off on the Droid X again, and be warned, mateys: we do talk like pirates. | 9/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 36 | VideoBuzz Out Loud: Ep. 1553: Facebook is now following Twitter | The Buzz Crew feels like Facebook is losing its identity after adding the Subscribe button a day after Smart Lists. You guys really don't have to be like Twitter and Google+. Windows 8 embraces HTML5 in their Metro UI, while Flash takes another punch to the gut. And there's a reason why you don't tell Apple internal secrets. You'll be scared for the rest of your life. Just like Donald. | 9/15/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 37 | VideoBuzz Out Loud: Ep. 1552: Facebook comes full circle | FaceBook brings their own Smart Lists and you might not care about Google+ anymore. The U.S. Department of Justice launches a criminal investigation against eBay and their dealings with Craigslist.org. Plus, we experience a radio dramatization of Return of the Jedi, since the Star Wars Blu-Ray is coming and Brian can't wait! | 9/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 38 | VideoBuzz Out Loud: Ep. 1551: We all spend way too much time on Facebook | The 404's Wilson Tang joins us today to discuss Microsoft's Build Conference currently taking place in Anaheim California. Stephen gives out his random temporary phone number on his new iPhone App called Ring Shuffle and receives around 40 calls within 20 minutes. Good times! Look for those voice mails on tomorrow's show. Also the Kepler Telescope has discovered 6 new Earth like planets giving us more options when we need to get off this rock. All that and more on today's Buzz Out Loud. | 9/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 39 | VideoBuzz Out Loud: Ep. 1550: Are you Hot or Bot? | Amazon wants to be the Netflix of books, and we can't wait. The 9/11 Memorial uses tech to honor the victims memory. If you just use Twitter to lurk, you're not a bot, we're paging Dr. Watson and we want your Android OS name ideas! | 9/12/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 40 | VideoBuzz Out Loud: Ep. 1549: Bartz puts $10 million in the swear jar | On today's show, it's cloudy with a chance of downtime at Microsoft and Google both (I call it a "cloudage," geddit?). A new Facebook app is letting you dedicate your status updates to victims of 9/11, which we love. And Sprint is hoping to grab iPhone 5 customers with 1. the iPhone 5 and 2. unlimited data plans for iPhone 5. And the coolest pair of Nikes ever. | 9/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
This show really misses Tom
I've been listening since 2006 - when it was Tom and Veronica and I wondered who this Molly was and why she would sometimes phone in and reader emails whined to get Molly back. Then Molly came back and I love her - she is hilarious and has great rants. I was disappointed to see Veronica go, but the show rocked for a couple of years. Tom and Molly had very insightful and usually humorous takes on the news. No offense to Rafe or Jason or Tong - you guys are good stuff, but the show just kind of stinks lately. Rafe and Molly seem to have a fake energy about them trying to keep the show interesting and lively. A lot of the off-the-cuff comments seem to have lost any intelligence and veer into the annoying territory. I'm sad to say (I never thought I'd do this) - but I'm deleting Buzz Out Loud from my feed today and going to Tech News Today as my only source of daily tech news. Molly - I wish you had been able to take Leo's offer, but I understand you have good things going for you at Cnet. Tech News Today could really use you. Wish everyone the best - Justin
WTF?
Been trying to download shows all week, but keep getting 1 or 2 second long downloads instead. I know Molly acknowledged a problem, but thought they'd fixed it.
UPDATE:
Ok, the show has turned into a total bitchfest between the hosts, the stream & download won't work on any of my iDevices, and I'm ready to cut this show loose.
Love The Show
Great show. Wish they would fix the downloads though. Have to wait until a show has been out for a few days before iTunes will download something that lasts longer than two seconds.
