apple officially recognises podcasting
I have to admit to being a Today programme listener. I am aware the average listener age of this show is supposed to be about 45 - and I receive no end of humourous comments for my askew listening preferences, but the news and discussions is always stimulating, the interviews and topics hard-hitting and the sports coverage very entertaining.
For a number of months, the BBC has been running a number of trial podcasts of certain radio shows for a few months now, and has recently added the Today program to its XML feed roster - a service I shall very soon avail myself of.
However, podcasting is still a slightly fringe activity among iPod owners, due to iTunes' very baffling non-support of it (at least on the Windows platform - iPodder on Macs integrates a bit better).
Well, early reports assure us that from v4.9 of iTunes, podcasting will receive its first official Apple support, and I am sure that this is boost that will really enable it to take off in a much more widespread way.
