What is the best program for creating an intro of this type- preferably mac os but windows will work. Thanks

That's a darn good question. Maybe Motion? I dunno. I was really happy with the intro I made for my Podcast in iMovie, but I wasn't asking too much...
Maybe we both should check out the website of the folks who created it. I think it is in the end credits of the latest episodes.
But speaking of intros, credits, etc...
I always wonder if they should be almost nothing, time-wise, cause of the extra bandwidth/download time, that costs us money for something the viewer doesn't really care about, and can easily skip over...That is one reason I run the credits over either outtakes or some other entertaining video instead of just slapping them at the end when everyone has already hit the stop button.
The opening is a little different. Ya gotta "name" your show, and intro it somehow, just for branding purposes, and to lead the audience in, but still it can be a bandwidth suck and download suck, too.
My latest "spin off" podcast I have actually interspersed the opening titles, credits, within the first few minutes of the episode.

Wasn't the current intro posted to Digg a long time ago as just some dude's version of what the Diggnation intro should be?

Yes. That was real cool of the guys to use a fans work, considering all the resources that they have locally, and through friends in the valley.

Yeah, but I doubt they'd be able to get anything nearly as nice as that for free(I'm assuming), except for from a fan.
