Out of ignorance of the mac-redmond branded offerings, a question:

I followed the link below and listened to the content [it's a pretty cool idea]. The content is in the form an mp3; is that what's inside an iPod? Any of you Linux users out there can do pretty professional production work with Audacity [an open source studio level production tool for audio that produces a wide variety of formats] and if iPods can play your stuff, it's a ->NO<-budget way to get into this.;-)

As it happens, I am on this list AND a podcaster, though I've just
done a couple of casts so far, which I call "Jungle Tales":

As you'll see, that's an RSS feed with enclosures, and it requirers
getting a piece of software called an ipodder (see below).  This stuff
is not automatic yet but it's getting easier.

I followed the ramp up to podcasting last summer, met with Dave Winer
this fall, and I'm maintaining the "Travel" node at Adam Curry's
directory of podcasts:

http://www.ipodder.org/directory/4/podcasts

If anybody has a travel-themed podcast they would like to be listed,
let me know. There are also other good links, including how-to and
ipodder software, at that site - ipodder.org

How am I using this to address the digital divide? At the Lower
Eastside Girls Club we are working on girl-produced music, radio, and
video as part of a community-wide network. Podcasting will be an
important part of the distribution process for all of this.

Today's Boston Globe has a nice story on podcasting and some of the
locals who are pioneering the medium. Just as blogging allows any
netizen to become an online writer, podcasting opens the doors for
people to become Internet radio personalities as well. The article notes
Dave Winer and Adam Curry's iPodder project and interviews local video
blogger Steve Garfield. It also covers WGBH's Morning Stories, one of
the first podcasts to come out of the public broadcasting community.

Expect to hear lots more about podcasting through the mainstream media
in 2005, not to mention some of my own podcasts from my blog as well...
