It looks like Jamie Oliver isn't the only chef to be launching his own podcast. Chef Ming Tsai, who has starred in a number of televised cooking shows, has just recently launched one titled Simply Ming. As you might guess if you watch his shows on public television, the podcast is essentially a rebroadcast of the existing shows, though in a form that is much more convenient for some people to view. This does mean that, unlike Jamie's show, the content of the program is not exactly original.
In the podcast, which is being released via the Culinary Podcast Network, Tsai will be tackling basic cooking problems - such as hot to prepare fresh ginger - and demonstrating more advanced techniques - like how to execute a perfect pan toss without loosing the contents of the pan. It still sounds like it's worth checking out, as Tsai is highly skilled and fun to watch. And repeats or not, the show is definitely a step above some of the content that is currently on the Food Network.
iTunes users can download the show here.

Hi; just to clarify, the Simply Ming videocasts were actually produced just for this forum and isn't repurposed video from past shows...the goal was to have him provide quick tips for people to use to improve their skills in the kitchen and was shot just for that purpose...and Ming does it well!
