We here at Macworld have decided to experiment with the podcast format. So we’ve taken a page from the magazine and inaugurated the Geek Factor podcast, covering tech topics on an irregular basis.
Cyrus Farivar, who has written for Macworld, the New York Times, and Wired News, among others, is the host of this Podcast. In this third 26-minute installment, the topic of choice is Case Modding—modifying a Mac’s case to create unique and interesting computer designs. Cyrus interviews Kent Salas, a Mac modder also known as “riscx.”
