#20 Podcasts

Ever really enjoyed a radio show but were never able to listen in because you were always working/out/sleeping in? Well fear no longer, as most radio stations from frivolous fm stations to serious ABC, now podcast segments of most programmes. They are a very useful tool for busy people, who may not always be available to listen to their favourite segments on the radio. And, when combined with RSS feeder technology, you don't even have to seek them out yourself, they come to you. Not that all podcasts have to originate from radio, many are entirely web-based and some include film as well as audio. The variety is endless, something for everyone and happily using a free (I love that word) podcast directory such as odeo.com, this variety is broken down by subject. Splendid.
