Podcasting
I have discovered podcasting after reading an article at BBC news. Basically, podcasting is a system of providing mp3 files, usually containing a “home made radio” programme, so that they will download to your PC and appear in your media player. If you have an ipod you can automate so that the files are automatically transferred too, but with my muvo I do that last step manually.
Like everything on the internet, there is an awful lot of rubbish out there, but I have found a a few channels I enjoy listening to and even the BBC seem to be experimenting – it will give me another option to audiobooks for my muvo mp3 player when I am at the gym.
There is a good introductory article on podcasting at engadget
The next version of wordpress (which runs this site) promises to handle podcasts – who knows, I might give it a go sometime.
