The Signal - A podcast dedicated to the TV show Firefly

There is a certain type of personality that seems to well suited for the podcast world. A type of personality that has the urge to spread their particular brand of information to the masses, however obscure and specific the subject matter. The geek has found a home in the broadcasting world and podcasting shall be his domain.
A good example of this is the Signal, a podcast dedicated to the now expired TV show Firefly.

Firefly was a sci fi show that met its demise in the middle of its first season but has now enjoyed a resurrection of sorts due to the release of the film Serenity, which is basically the pilot show of Firefly writ large. The Signal describes itself as... all about the science fiction show Firefly. Here you will find features, news, reviews, interview, chat, and anything else we can think of relating to Firefly. If you don't know anything about podcasting, don't worry, you can just download the individual MP3 files and then figure out all the podcasting stuff later. Go ahead and listen to - THE SIGNAL.

What surprised me was the level of professionalism of the show. This is one well produced, interesting and well executed show. Proof that nothing is impossible when geeks combine their powers. Of course, it helps if the listener actually is interested in the TV show. The podcast consists of interviews with the actors, script authors, famous fans and... long discussions on utterly obscure arcana such as the middle name of a minor character, chinese language lessons, soundtrack listings etc...

If you are a fan of the show, this podcast will be fantastic for you. It contains all the right elements and is a good example of the right way to produce a podcast.
