podcasts

Podcasts are pretty straight forward and have been around for a good while. They are a commonly used as a way of time shifting by radio stations such as the BBC and Radio National here in Australia. Having seachable directories of podcasts such as Yahoo and the others provide is a very useful feature for my own personal use - I can find Billy Connelly or Gore Vidal or whoever with a simple search. They are easy to use and with MP3 players or Ipods are extremely portable. The technology might have a use in our organisation for training purposes.
