BlizzCast #11 was recently released and it covers the happenings of this years BlizzCon -- roundtable style. Joining the mediator Rob Simpson, an eSports Team member, was Bashiok, Nethaera, and Karune. Throughout the entirety of the podcast, there was not much in regards to Diablo, however they definitely started BlizzCon off the right way. BlizzCon was kicked off with the announcement of the fourth class for Diablo 3, the Monk.
Official Blizzard Quote:
We announced the Monk, as you said, it is our fourth playable class. We still have one class we haven't announced yet. The Monk is sort of this "East-meets-West", he's got a lot of kung-fu moves but he also looks very Western. He has this big, red, bushy beard and a shaved head. He's primarily a hand-to-hand fighter, he does use weapons but a lot of his weapons, it does look like he is using hand-to-hand combat. He's kind of weak as far as his armor and health goes, but he gets in there fast, kicks the crap out of dudes, and gets out of there.
The reaction from the fans was overwhelming. We had stations where people could fill out feedback on the demos while they were playing them and the Monk was overwhelmingly the favorite at the show, which was just announced, so it wasn't too surprising, but it is still a very fun class to play.
With the fourth class announced, we are only waiting for the latest addition to the team of heroes to venture into the world of the Sanctuary for the third time.
On a related note, the winner of the Costume Contest was an avid Diablo enthusiast dressed up as the Mistress of Pain.
I'm not one to complain much when it comes to Blizz, but honestly this Blizzcast was lame...all it basically was was a recap of Blizzcon. I mean aren't most of the people who follow Blizz keeping up with things like their own gaming convention...I would have been happier if they just waited longer and brought out something with new info in it.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
