Content is thin in the weeks leading up to CES, but Tom and Liz are up to the challenge. The  iNuke Boom definitely made us say “Wow” (and some other things as well).  Ultraviolet is still not living up to its promise. Netflix segment this…

Were you wondering if Liz was the perfect woman? She makes her case on this week’s podcast. Tom has a few things to say about subs (most importantly, Audioholics.com is giving one away). Would you rent a toy for your kids? Tom got a tweet from @loud…

Liz had a bit of an accident this week and is pushing through the pain to get this out to you in a timely manner. This week Tom has more to say about NAD (Liz says he’s feeding the trolls), Google Music, and Steam. Tom and Liz discuss a new AV Rant …

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. If you live in Perth or (probably) in Australia, you shouldn’t listen past the closing music. You’ve been warned. This week Liz and Tom tackle Google Music, audiophile demos, and Vudo-to-go. Liz has some…

If you don’t listen after the music, you won’t hear us discuss our last topic. Soup to Nuts this week is a few gift suggestions (check the list below for links). How much do artists earn online? Liz and Tom dissect the article. Tom breaks down…

Podcast is a day late this week due to forces out of our control. AV Rant has a new Google+ Page – join in to be part of the discussion and hear yourself mentioned on the podcast. Also, don’t forget we host G+ Hangouts at least once a week (us…

Tom might be getting sick again, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be ranting. Lots of streaming news this week from Netflix, Redbox, Blockbuster, and Google. Chris had a completely different experience using the PS3 to stream content. Tom and Li…

You’ll have to get all the way to the end of the podcast to figure out the name. Sorry about that. Tom and Liz get their Netflix wish from listener Jason (thank you Jason). Speaking of Netflix, they lost a few subscribers. A Lego man washes up in Fl…

Check out the video below to get the skinny on Quantum Levitation. It is AWESOME. Evan has a problem with Spotify, as does Tom and Liz. Liz thinks salt is cool – not for the same reason Tom does. Vdio – What is it other than a stupid name? Tom…

A more reasonable lengthed podcast this week. Tom is nearing the end of writing the sequel to Bob Moore: No Hero so it comes up a few times in the podcast. Of course, Steve Jobs passing has to be mentioned. Love or hate him, you can’t deny the effec…

Liz’s titles are getting better all the time. Our time management…not so much. This podcast is looooong (which is why we didn’t have much of a Google+ Hangout after). This week Liz and Tom start off with Netflix news (still looking for a…

Liz names her first podcast. Note the deplorable lack of innuendo. Oh well, she’s still learning. If you haven’t already, please check out Tom’s Master of Macabre story and vote here. This week, Tom and Liz are still in need of a Netflix…

Sorry about the late post – the back end of AV Rant has been broken all weekend. This week we welcome Clint DeBoer to the mix for a three way podcast. Clint brings a first-hand report from CEDIA (read the coverage on Audioholics). In other news, we …

This may be our last podcast after Liz sees the title. Hopefully she’s in a good mood that day. The title should be “Listener Question Day” as Tom and Liz tackle five different emails. Star Wars Blu-ray in 6.1? Who cares when Tom has a n…

Liz dropped the ball on the Soup to Nuts but Tom sort of covered with a listener question. Learn about how a sub and a room can interact to strange results. Netflix and Starz broke up. What it means for you and is it a bad thing? Apple can’t seem to…

Welcome back to the AV Rant podcast. First time? Feel free to contact us on the website or at one of our email addresses (listed at the end of each podcast). This week we talk about Steve Jobs, Portal (the short movie), and Moviepass. Best Buy partners wi…

This podcast starts off pretty off topic but quickly comes back. Liz (or Tom depending on who you believe) loved the recent XKCD take on 3D first. Tom has some unbelievable croc news. Liz’s take on Akamai’s discussion of streaming requirements…

A bit of an echo this time. Once you guys get Liz’s vintage headphones fixed, that won’t be a problem, right? Zediva needs to upgrade their service model and, according to Tom and Liz, their legal team. Hulu goes “international“. G…

Tom was a bit over-caffienated for this podcast so they went a bit long and had to cut the Soup to Nuts. Tune in next week for the conclusion of Liz’s streaming advice. Tom has a few things to say about the new Pioneer Elite SC-57 (specifically the …

Part two of Liz’s Soup to Nuts on streaming this week is about storage. More than you ever wanted to know about servers, clouds, and NAS (links below). Tom has a few things to say about the entire “modular design” idea. Velodyne starts s…

Tom is on vacation in Thailand this week, so please welcome guest host Clint DeBoer of Audioholics.com. This week we ramble a bit about movies (LotR, the Hobbit, Great Gatsby in 3D) and Liz commits a mortal nerd sin and confuses Lord of the Rings with CS…

Tom is still on vacation this week, and Liz has a bit of the post-holiday blues. Picking up the slack this week is loyal listener Will, bringing in the updates for your favorite set top boxes/roll-your-own software: XBMC, Boxee, Plex and Roku all announce…

Liz has a big announcement that she starts the podcast with. It’s a doosy and may mean big changes for AV Rant. Stay tuned to future episodes for further details. Tom answers questions from Jason, Jonathan, and Andrew this week. Did you know AOL is …

Tom is back! You may rejoice or curse at your discretion. If you didn’t notice the SOPA message on the website, we went black for a day (and again next week). Liz has some thoughts on Spotify and Rdio. Audyssey is branching out and Tom doesn’t…

Second podcast of 2012 and we’re already innuendo-ing. Is that a word? Anyway, in today’s podcast, Rob H. is back on the air and as prolific as ever with a soup-to-nuts on soundproofing your room so your neighbors still like you when you up th…

Today’s the first podcast of the new year, Tom is still on vacation and Rob is here filling in. We’re talking about some sad news to start off the new year.  Kodak might be filing for bankruptcy, Berkline went out of business in May, and G…

A few disclaimers: We make up (co-opt really) a new curse word. Liz and Tom, for a time, mistake Neil Young for Neil Simon. Whoops. This week in Netflix? WB acts like a bunch of…well, CADS. Tom thinks you can take the conversation in this article an…

Liz is off across the pond doing moving things so Rob H. steps in on short notice. They talk a bunch about streaming and piracy. Specifically about this article at Forbes which makes a lot of good points. Amazon Prime streaming is on the way as is a new s…

Welcome Liz back. We’ve got a couple of things on the horizon including a potential interview with a film director and a guest spot for Tom on another podcast. This week, lots of listener questions/comments from Jason, Grant, Alex, and John. Whitney…
