What’s new in Kinoma Media Guide — 11 Jul 2007

As always, the Kinoma Media Guide con­tin­ues to get big­ger and bet­ter. Here’s what’s new in the Kinoma Media Guide since 6/11/2007:

Enter­tain­ment

If you’re a fan of They Might Be Giants (or just like great, unique music), check out the They Might Be Giants pod­cast at Music > They Might Be Giants to hear new music and rare demos by “the two Johns”.

We’ve added AmericaFree.TV Crime Fic­tion, which fea­tures the best in old-school crime and sus­pense pro­gram­ming. You can find it in Enter­tain­ment > Live TV Enter­tain­ment.

Rock­et­boom is a daily vod­cast fea­tur­ing fun and inter­est­ing tech news deliv­ered by a cheeky girl with a lovely accent — what more could a geek want? We’ve updated this entry to use a video feed that’s sig­nif­i­cantly more opti­mized for mobile play­back, and you can find it at Enter­tain­ment > Rock­et­boom.

Infor­ma­tion

The guide now includes a mas­ter cat­e­gory for all National Pub­lic Radio pod­casts. If you’re an NPR junkie, Kinoma Media Player is now arguably now the best way to enjoy every­thing NPR has to offer. You can find this new cat­e­gory at News > NPR Audio Direc­tory.

We recently added three new pod­casts from NOVA, the excel­lent sci­ence pro­gram from PBS. The NOVA pod­cast fea­tures short sto­ries from the world of sci­ence — every­thing from hur­ri­canes to mum­mies to neu­tri­nos — related to the NOVA TV show. The NOVA sci­en­ceNOW pod­cast fea­tures brief, often irrev­er­ent con­ver­sa­tions with sci­en­tists and sci­ence jour­nal­ists. NOVA E=mc2 is the com­pan­ion pod­cast to Einstein’s Big Idea, and it lets you hear 10 top physi­cists explain Einstein’s famous equa­tion. You can find all NOVA pod­casts in Edu­ca­tion.

Radio

If you’re French Cana­dian you may be espe­cially inter­ested in the addi­tion of La Première Chaîne, the French-language news and infor­ma­tion ser­vice of the CBC, and Espace Musique, the French-language music radio ser­vice of the CBC. They can be found in Inter­na­tional > Fran­cais > Radio > Canada.

If you’re an For all of our Air Amer­ica “pro­gres­sive patriot”, you’ll be glad to know that the Kinoma Media Guide now includes Air Amer­ica pod­casts. They can be found in Talk & Pol­i­tics > Air Amer­ica.

Race to 2008

Stay on top of the U.S. Elec­tion 2008 wher­ever you are with Kinoma Player. You can find pod­casts from three of the can­di­dates, plus news from CNN and PBS, in Talk & Pol­i­tics > Elec­tion 2008 (US).

Web­cams

The NASDAQ Tower web­cam lets you see NASDAQ’s famous video tower, stand­ing tall on a New-York-picturesque cor­ner of Times Square. You can find it in Inter­net Video > Web­Cams > Travel.

Traf­fic cameras

We’ve added 20 new traf­fic cam­eras, pri­mar­ily in the San Fran­cisco Bay/Oakland area. To see them, go to Traf­fic Infor­ma­tion > Cal­i­for­nia (Wi-Fi) > San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area.
