Hmmm… podcasts are fun. What is podcasting? See iPodder. I am right now listening to a really bad Air America feed of Morning Sedition (bad audio–tinny and full of echoes–but too soon to see if it is a bad show).
But the individual podcasts–made by Jane and Joe Schmos around the world–that I’ve checked out have been veddy interestink and been of MUCH higher audio quality. For example, the engagiing Dawn and Drew Show, which I checked out after Bicyclemark blogged about it. Come on, Air America. I haven’t listened to them on the clunky normal radio yet, but their RSS audio feeds are crap. What is with that?
And come on, BBC Radio, do you really need me to listen to streaming audio, or try and hijack those streams using Audio Hijack?
Oops. I think I am giving off a lot of rants lately. Sorry for the pent-up hostility. The you-know-whos have stopped barraging me with random comments as per the last few days of hell, so I should chill out now.

Yeah hmm… Air America I’d just sooner take the live feed than the pod “enclosures.”
Cool new word eh? Enclosures. Its nerd for “fuckin mp3 file.”
BM, You got me to check out podcasts, and you also got me to figure out Trackbacks. You know, I never could figure them out because my Mozilla browser does not do them–it also doesn’t do several other things right. But like a beloved boyfriend or an old car, or my ill-trained mutt, I do love it. I cannot explain why. (Anyway, I went on to explorer just to trackybacky to you.) I hope that does not sound all stalkerish. I actually have been meaning to figure out what trackback does for a long time. What’s the word for a neophyte nerd? Whatever it is, I bet it’s sad!
Nerdling? Sapling nerd? I got nothin. Oh wait.. I got one.. Use firefox 1.0 and you will be a happy happy gal. (you may already be) Oh.. and where in the world are you, if I may ask?
Hi BM, I am in NYC…
Just off the East River in scenic Long Island City.
Oh coooool. Now I know. I feel like more of an involved reader now.
