TIE: The Hodgecast, The House Hookup

One talks and one rocks. That's where our podcast winners intersect on the digital avenue. The Hodgecast, shorthand for the Charlie Hodge Show and named after the former third man on KLBJ's Dudley and Bob Morning Show, has evolved into a must-listen, rollicking hour of jokes, music, and exclusive guests, including Lance Armstrong's attorney, breaking the silence on Armstrong's troubles with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on a recent show. Meanwhile, over on the House Hookup, DJ Kadabra – that's Dustin Kinney – digs deep for his beats. Each 60-minute mix climbs down house music’s neon caves, admiring the funky formations from classic acts Shades of Gray or newcomer Jesus Pablo. This is the best of underground sound. Consider Kinney your spelunker.
