Please help improve the article or discuss these issues on the talk page. | Buzz Out Loud is a daily podcast about tech related subjects, produced by CNET. Affectionately abbreviated "BOL" by fans, and known by their tagline as "CNET's podcast of indeterminate length" (or "CNET.com's podcast of indeterminate length"), the show stars CNET editors Tom Merritt, "the segue king," Molly Wood, "queen of the rant," and up until July 20th, 2007, Veronica Belmont, "the serious-comic relief.", who left CNET to work at Mahalo,[1] Jason Calacanis' startup. During the show's public debut on April 25, 2005, it promised to deliver 5-or-so minutes of Tom & Molly's take on tech news every second day, but has evolved into 30 minutes of tech-related banter and commentary on a daily basis (which is the origin of the "indeterminate length" moniker).

The show also occasionally features interviews; initially, these were integrated as a part of the show, but have since been spun off to their own line of programming due to listener requests. However, on occasion interviews are put on the main feed. Tech luminaries such as Lawrence Lessig and Steve Wozniak have been interviewed, as well as several hosts from the TWiT.tv and Revision3 networks.

In November 2005, the show gained Earthlink as a sponsor. This marked the beginning of a period of continuity for the show, as almost all of the episodes have featured the trio of commentators. The exceptions of which usually involve one of the commentators being unavailable to record due to business trips, sick days, or vacations. In late March 2006, Buzz Out Loud switched to a new Earthlink sponsorship, having 11 different ads instead of the previous 1. Now they alternate between the 11 ads in the middle of the show and a longer ad at the end of the show. It has been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles accessible from a disambiguation page. ...
On occasion, the Buzz Out Loud crew records live shows at technology trade shows, such as recordings done from CES and Macworld done in January of 2006 and 2007. These live shows can include a live audience, comprised of fans of the show, and discussions on the different products that the commentators have been able to examine. Other times, one of the hosts will attend a live event, such as Molly at the former E3, and instead call in to the show before, during or after the event with updated information. In 2006, they produced a video episode of Buzz Out Loud at the San Francisco premiere of Snakes on a Plane. At CES 2007, video of the Buzz Out Loud podcast recording sessions were streamed live on Cnettv.com.

Guest hosts Guest hosts appear on Buzz out Loud usually when either Tom or Molly can't be in the studio or simply one of them has other commitments. Attempts are made to maintain the three person format with usually one of the emloyees at CNET stepping in to fill this roll. The list of those who have fulled the role include Brian Cooley, Tim Moynihan, Caroline McCarthy, the late digital music editor James Kim,Rafe Needleman and former CNET employee Rich DeMuro. During episode 554:iPod Touch President, neither Tom nor Molly were in the studio and instead involved Tom phoning in to the studio to discuss the release with mp3 Editor Jasmine France. For the Korean guitar player, see Kim Se Hwang. ...
Rafe Needleman is a magazine and website editor and published author. ...
On the rare occasions the three person format is changed to only have two people involved. This usually only occurs when guest host can't be organized for the show. On episodes 596 and 601 for example we had what is now coined a 'Jollycast' which is when Jason and Molly do the podcast alone.
