Re: Podcasts (was RE: (OT) New Ipod)

Yup, that's right.

Best thing to do is wander over to:

http://www.podcastalley.com/

They have a directory of podcasts to subscribe to.

There are literally thousands to choose from. As a start I'd suggest
"The
Daily Source Code" from Adam Curry - basically the godfather of
podcasting
has produces a fairly entertaining 40 minute daily show.

You'll need a podcast client - either ipodder or doppler for the PC. I use
poddumfeeder on the mac.

Just to dispel a misunderstanding, you don't need an ipod to listen to
thes=
e
- they are usually bog standard MP3 files.

I've picked up an awful lot of information about the mac using them. There
is some complete dross out there but you'll soon pick up on your
favourites=
.
The problem is finding the time to listen to them as it's not something I
can do while working at the pc. Ideally, if you have a daily commute or do
=
a
lot of traveling they are ideal to listen to in the car or on the train!

Cheers
Don
