So if we were to set up a podcast (presuming it's technically feasible) what would it be about?
For some reason, I don't remember saying anything about podcasting on here.
Basically, podcasting is amateur radio cobbled together on home computers, then sent out to the world and pushed onto an mp3 player. That could be complicated, but with programs like IpodderX (there's a Windows version here), it's all automated, which makes it pathetically easy. It works by watching RSS feeds for new stuff, then downloading it onto your portable audio device. I listen regularly to Engadget's podcast, as well as a show from the BBC. There's more and more stuff coming out every day, and sooner or later I expect I'll break down and put one out. It'd be cool if myself and some of the other Freyburg regulars could organize some sort of online audio chatting at a predetermined time and discuss stuff and nonsense. Of course, I'll have to figure out how to set everything up first.

Is podcasting the new streaming airtext? Heckle my wiki to find out! :)
Listening to the EnGadget podcast right now (on Winamp, thank you very much... although this kind of low-fi MP3 stuff would be ideal for my old-skool Creative Nomad with 32mb SmartMedia technology...)
I've done radio before; we had a great time doing Internet searches for a topic of the week; it was supposed to be a serious show originally, but by episode 2 it was clear that the more stupid the website, the better the show was... something like that might be fun...
Yeah, I'm cool with that. Best thing to do would have it reflect what I'm talking about on the site regularly, so we could have a political rant section, an internet screed, and a "ooo boy I loves me this gadget" report. I (or somebody else, but I'm wllling to dick around with the recording, so I might as well) could host it, and then we hop to a different guy for each segment. Do it once a week and just read my archives to figure out what the best subjects are. Then mail an outline to one another, and try not to throw too many goat references into the show. :)
