Daniel Chait, who works for video network Zoo In Online, has been working the halls of Mix 09 to record the voices of those in the know.

Among the Podcasts, James Pratt talks about the upcoming release of Internet Explorer. The news? Internet Explorer 8 is done, ready for market. Among the new features, IE 8 should be compliant with most current W3C standards. Other awesome new features are custom themes, embedded search and security upgrades.

Other notable podcasts include Johnny Lee who chats about Human-Computer Interaction at Microsoft, including multi-touch and Microsoft Surface. John Lam speaks of IronRuby and DRLR.

Finally, Christian Schorman talks about what is probably the highlight of Mix09’s keynote speech, SketchFlow. Sketchflow is a part of Expression Blend 3  that wowed the audience by creating a fully featured prototype of a website in about 15 minutes.

The interviews are broken up between two pages. Part 1 and Part 2 are available at <a hrev=”http://www.zoom-in.com/blog/zio-pro/aanarav-sareen/mix-2009-audio-podcasts-part-01″>Zoom In Online’s site</a>. The podcasts were created in association with the technical consultants over at Lab49.
