This is only vaguely programming related but TWiT.tv's Triangulation show has an interesting interview with Grant Imahara who is one of the Mythbusters. He actually used to work for ILM and was one of the people who worked on R2-D2 and created the Energizer Bunny that they used in commercials (I don't have cable anymore so maybe they still do).

It's an older show but I'm super behind in my podcasts. :-)
