Podcasting

Apple finally got onboard with podcasting by delivering a simple (and free) way to subscribe to podcasts via iTunes. Just go to the iTunes Music Store and select the podcasts that you're interested in, wait for the MP3 download, and start listening. The selection isn't huge at the moment but it does cover a wide variety. I subscribed to the "CBC Radio 3" podcast and the decidedly more adult "Dawn and Drew show". After you have the files, you can sync with your iPod and listen to them on the road and unlike radio you can skip, pause etc. Very cool. You can of course listen to podcasts with any MP3 player but Apple, in typical fashion, makes this really simple to use.
