East Meets West

East Meets West is a podcast hosted by Tom Merritt and Roger Chang. Both are former TechTV employees that moved on to other ventures at CNET and DL.TV, respectively, after the merger of that network with G4 and many TechTV employees were released. The show has been recorded seventy-seven times (as of July 2007) and is one of the first podcasts spun out of the TechTV world that has little to do with discussing technology, which was the focus of that TV network, as opposed to others such as This Week in Tech, Diggnation and even DL.TV (all of which are hosted by former TechTV personalities as well).
