Update: Nattie asks, “What is a podcast?”
From Wikipedia: More Info
A podcast is a web feed of audio or video files placed on the Internet for anyone to download or subscribe. Podcasters’ websites also may offer direct download of their files, but the subscription feed of automatically delivered new content is what distinguishes a podcast from a simple download or real-time streaming (see below). Usually, the podcast features one type of “show” with new episodes either sporadically or at planned intervals such as daily, weekly, etc. Besides that there are podcast networks that feature multiple shows on the same feed.
There was an article the other day from a media source in Japan stating that TV is dead (sorry, can’t find the article again). Yes, the TV in MTV is dead.
Welcome in the podcast. The same company that brought you “ipod” and “itunes” … practically anything associated with a little “i” - except iShoo. It definitely seems like this is more than just a trend. In the early stages of the internet, it too was a trend.
My internet was finally restored this morning after Springfield Tornado i2006, aka Katrina 2. First thing I did was actually get online and check my podcast subscriptions. Thanks to Dave Heinzel as you were the first to welcome me back to the internet with episode 6. Little Eathan is the coolest.
I know there are other people doing the podcast thing? Who are you and what are you watching / listening to?
My dad is even downloading podcasts from NPR to his Shuffle!
This is what I have in heavy rotation.

Good Ol’ Molson and Lee. I try to listen to them at work, but can’t work to talk radio.
i’ve got both of you beat…my favorite podcasts are lectures professors upload. they’re really interesting.
my second favorite is “democracy now”. it’s kind of an “other side of the story” news program.

What are pod casts? I’m I the only freak of nature out there that doesn’t even own an i-pod? Nor would I know what to do with one if I had it? I’m feeling like such a loser right now. Shoo, you may need to give me a crash course some day, young man.
nattie, podcasts are little audio or video guys you share over the internet…like those ask a ninja videos shooey was posting. it’s kind of like radio or television programs you download from the internet.
and, k, am i a dork because i like to educate myself further?
gtg, I believe that was roommate kyle.
i got that now, shooey.
damn roommate kyle!!
Just when I thought everybody knew what podcasts were, those two girls at the beginning of my latest podcast were all “What’s a Podcast?” when I asked them to plug my site. Sigh.
Long-time fan of Ask a Ninja. Others on my list (search iTunes with these names for feeds):
