Welcome to the latest edition of Digital Life where we go behind the scenes at the Beijing Olympics and look at some of the feedback on the local Games coverage. Go for gold, Channel Seven, go for gold.

In addition, we look at a number of ways to spend lots of your money unnecessarily with iPhone "bill shock" starting to hit, and the Optus pre-paid data with a really big sting in the tail. We also bring you CNET.com.au's take on the TiVO set-top box, and how and why you should set up wired networks in your house.

Behind the mics are CNET.com.au's Joseph Hanlon and Ty Pendlebury, and SEA FM's Cam St.Clair. This week's technology expert is CNET Australia's editor Pam Carroll who will report on what she found while "on the ground" in Beijing (ticket stubs?).

Each episode we bring you a bunch of chatter on the latest news, cool products and burning issues in the gadget world. The show goes out on radio from 10pm Wednesdays, or 8pm for the WA dwellers. To see if there's a station near you, visit TheRadio.com.au. You can also listen online from 10pm via the Sea FM Web site.

The podcast can be streamed or downloaded above or below. Listen to our previous episodes and subscribe via iTunes or RSS on our Digital Life podcast page.
