Steve Gibson, maker of Spinrite and co-presenter of the Security Now!
podcast just release a podcast about TrueCrypt.  Here is the link:
http://www.grc.com/SecurityNow.htm#41

I haven't had a chance to review it so I can't speak to the content, but
other, not all, of the Security Now! podcasts have been pretty informative.

Regards,

Jay
