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... -andy
