Podcasting redux
Last month, Engadget did a
great how-to piece on Podcasting (what the heck is
Podcasting?),
which opens the door to exciting DIY internet radio broadcasting. We Pod People, being of curious mind, began wondering
why we would continually scrounge the net for interesting Podcasts, when we know we can train our Macs to do the
scrounging for us.
The logical companion to the Podcasting craze is
Podcatching, which solves the
scrounging problem by using an iPodder client to automagically deliver fresh multimedia content to your desktop. The
iPodder clients harness the power of RSS 2.0, letting you subscribe to a feed once and get new content delivered via
iTunes to your iPod the next time you sync.
The iPodder clients are maturing quickly, and new Podcasting feeds are cropping up by the score. Independent musicians
are using Podcasting as an excellent low-cost distribution
method, pundits are releasing talk shows, and our own
Engadget is running one of the most popular podcasts in the
iPodder directory. Go get yourself some grassroots
media!

I agree ipodder is a great utility and I think it is only a matter of time before Apple get in on this Podcasting craze. It must be doing wonders for their brand.
