Now that I have an iPod I have been getting into podcasting. Of course you don’t have to have an iPod to listen to podcasts but iTunes makes it all so easy. If only there was a linux version…
Anyway a couple of my favourite podcasts are the Ricky Gervais Show – pant-wettingly funny – and Dr Karl on triple j.
I hadn’t listened to the ABC for a long time and it is funny to hear how totally paranoid they are about mentioning a particular product by name on air. It is quite extraordinary. Even when identifying some commercial thing by name would make things so much clearer they always have to make these weird allusions to it. I guess it is in their charter or something as a non-commercial broadcaster but the BBC doesn’t seem to have a problem about stuff like that.
