Paul and Sean over at php|architect have released the latest episode of the P3 podcast for May 1st, 2008 - "The Twitter".

Still no resolution on the USB audio problem. iPod failed, too. That leaves us with 2 laptops and internal mics. I'm eagerly anticipating 10.5.3, and if that doesn't fix it, I'm going back to 10.5.1. Fail.

Topics mentions are php|tek (coming soon to a Chicago near you!), type hinting and the optimizer Google Summer of Code discussions on the Internals side and the "making WP themes from scratch" and Magento talk on the community side.
