I am happy to announce the launch of a new podcast blog – TalkCrunch. Each week we’ll be posting a new episode, featuring founders of companies we’ve written about the previous week.

For our inaugural episode, we invite Ethan Stock, Founder of Zvents and Narendra Rocherolle, Founder of 30boxes, to discuss Google’s new Calendar product, to be called “CL2″. We also talk about how Zvents and 30Boxes will (somehow) find a way to compete as the big guys enter the space with next generation calendar and event search products. Also participating are Nik Cubrilovic and Keith Teare, who will be regulars on the show. I’m also hoping to get Jeff Clavier to occasionally sit in.

We are hosting the podcast files on PodServe, which I wrote about here. The site design for TalkCrunch was done by Rachel Cunliffe, the founder of cre8d design, a web studio which focuses on blog design and community websites.

The feed for TalkCrunch is feeds.feedburner.com/Talkcrunch.
