So just to make sure that everyone knows that I’m really up with the new technology, I thought that I’d better acknowledge Podcasting. A few weeks back I was bemoaning the fact that it was really hard to find radio in a downloadable rather than streaming format.
Well it’s out there and it’s called Podcasting. Over the last few weeks I’ve downloaded a few broadcasts from IT Conversations, including this one which addresses this very phenomena. It’s all very interesting, although I think the one issue that hasn’t really been properly addressed so far is the lack of server space. A one hour show is going to take twenty something megabytes of space, and that’s still quite a lot for most people to deal with. They might be able to get a couple of shows up, but there’s also the issue with download limits from your ISP. I guess that P2P is the answer here.
Now all I need to do is find the decent content that is apparently out there… Let me know if you’ve got any recommendations.
