I dropped by iTunes today and was pleasantly surprised to see that the ‘NZ Tech Podcast’ is the top Podcast in New Zealand right now. It feels great to be sitting above Ricky Gervais, TED talks, BBC, etc.

Good news – the NZ Tech Podcast has arrived on iTunes (unfortunately the Zune team are still dragging their feet).
