Radio and TV personality Leo Laporte, of TechTV Screensavers fame, talks about his experience with Drupal on his blog.

The new site for our podcast is now up at thisWEEKinTECH.com or TWiT.tv. I’m using the very very nice Drupal content management system. I’m liking it even better than Expression Engine at this point. It’s simple simple simple but extremely powerful.

For example, subscribers to the podcast are automatically registered on the site and I am able to give them special privileges like enhanced bandwith, special sections, more control over the appearance of the site, and so on. Check it out. All that’s lacking is a nice design - the generic design is just fine, but I’d like something more fitting. We’ll work on it.

When I do to the site I get:

MySQL ERROR:

Query: SELECT * FROM exp_online_users WHERE date > 1115967124 AND weblog_id = '0' ORDER BY name

I'd love to see a podcast created in Drupal working without some third party workaround (ahem, Feedburner). It might let me know that there was something wrong with my installation. But so far I've not found any working example of a Podcast generated by Drupal. I'm beginning to think that it doesn't work at all.

If anyone can figure out how to make mine work here's the URL:

I see that this thread has been updated and now the link works. All of Leo's Podcasts are coming out of Feedburner. This is still not what I would call a working Drupal Podcast so I guess I'll keep searching.

They are registered as users when getting podcast? Huh? Also, how does feedburner help podcasting. What I'm really curious about is RSS media that supports all media types. Does that work in Drupal, or throught some trick on feedburner?
