Members gearmike Posted July 26, 2005 Members Share Posted July 26, 2005 Man, Podcasts are great. With this new gig I have over the summer, I have an hour+ long drive home around midnight every night. I can only take so much bad music or talk radio about aliens. Since I started listening to Podcasts I have a much easier time staying awake. Anyone else downloading out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aliensporebomb Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 My friend Rich (and his friend John) have a podcast here: http://www.bloodyveg.com/ Kinda interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeff da Weasel Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 I sure am, and it rocks. My friend called it "TiVo for your ears", and I'd say that's a good description. I pick up my iPod when I go on the road, and listen to any type of program material I feel like at that moment. Music, sports, talk, comedy...

Coverville sounds interesting, I'm going to try that one soon. Aliensporebomb, what is your friends about?? There were a few by various MP forumites in production, any update on them??

Members seifukusha Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 this sounds really interesting, I have played with my friends ipod (in Korea, they havent caught yet, but are starting, IRIVER anyone?), what exactly are the podcasts? like radio broadcasts? How do you listen to them?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Base Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yeah, I've got an iRiver H-120, can't believe they discontinued them, I've yet to see anything that beats it...! Podcasts are basically radio-style shows in mp3 format so you can load them onto an mp3 player and listen to at your leisure. It's allowing a lot of independent's to produce their own shows. I think for iPods you can use software to subscribe, so it will update with the latest show every time you synch, but you can just d/l the show and load it up. Obviously you don't actually NEED a player to listen, a PC will do the trick too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blue2blue Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 I'm not using an aggregator, but I've been using podcast DL's for a while. Harry Shearer's Le Show is available as one, for instance. Also, one my own tracks just popped up in this one: Radio Orphans Podcast 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MorePaul Posted July 27, 2005 Members Share Posted July 27, 2005 I guess I kinda sorta do Well, besides podcasts billed as "podcasts" there are always downloadable archives Studio 360Spinning on air alll that kind of stuff - they keep archives of their programs Don Katz of audible actually built part of that biz model on "time shifting content" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Raymar Posted July 30, 2005 Members Share Posted July 30, 2005 I really like podcasting, just heard parts of a few for the first time last night but for musicians is it really that different from putting your music up at an OMD for downloading?

Members John Sayers Posted July 30, 2005 Members Share Posted July 30, 2005 The Australian Broadcasting Corp (our public broadcaster) is now podcasting all their programs here http://www.abc.net.au/services/podcasting.htm also here is another outlet http://www.ipodder.org/ cheersjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Songrytr, Toxic Potatoe and I have been discussing getting into Podcasting, and Ms Valky has asked me to contribute to some stuff she has planned (yes Valky, I'm interested... you know I can't say no to you ), so I imagine I'll be getting into it RSN. We''ve thought about doing some stuff with / featuring local artists / bands / songwriters, as well as our own indie label stuff and maybe some "live at Sound Sanctuary Recording" events, and Valky's ideas are right along the lines of some things I was considering doing - studio secrets, methods, etc. I'm looking forward to getting into the whole scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
