That's a good point, they are very different on that level... While the JavaPosse format is more intimate and subjective, it's not for beginners. Whereas .NET Rocks have interviewed many non-.NET people and throws in programmer public service stuff like "Know a framework" etc. When at their best, I prefer the JavaPosse, but the amount Kumbaya can get a bit scary sometimes (less of that lately, thanks to Apple, Oracle and Google stirring things up a bit).
