Podcasting

Podcasting seems to be all the rage these days. With the phenomenal success of the iPod, a new broadcast medium has been born. People are now producing their own mini-radio shows, and listeners can subscribe to them (much like an RSS reader subscribes to news content) and have the shows automatically downloaded for later listening.

And now that my favourite radio station Triple J is starting to produce podcasts of Hack and Dr Karl I have some very good reasons to get into it. (Unfortunately I don't often get to listen to Dr Karl's Science show on a Thursday morning, but it's always worth it if you can catch it.)

So now the question becomes: which software to use? Fortunately there are several to choose from.
