Podcast Listening in Jaguar

My friend, Erik, over at my iPod blog has put up an interesting tale of the woes he has faced trying to grab podcasts running 10.2.8 and listen to them using his new iPod Shuffle.  Evidently, none of the current crowd of podcast downloading apps work on anything older than 10.3: ”Unfortunately, in the past few weeks, I’ve discovered that all of the Mac applications listed at iPodder.org (the definitive starting place for podcasts) require Mac OS X 10.3 to run. Even if they don’t list system requirements, all of the freeware and commercial software, including the natural choice of iPodder itself, either crash when you run them or simply fail to install.”  Boo hoo, Erik. Why don’t you join the Panther crowd already? You know we’re a full point ahead of you and there’s this cat called Tiger right around the corner, right? ;-)
