WTF is Podcasting?!

See, I'd heard about this Podcasting not so long ago and just assumed it was having audio on a Blog. Last week I learnt exactly what Podcasting is, and yes, it's another really geeky, internet hound, pass-time. Today I came across this short film all about it [Real Player will be required], that can get the uninitiated up to speed.

Four Minutes about Podcasting is a short film tells you why podcasting can make your life better, and shows you everything you need to know to set up a simple program to have new podcasts downloaded automatically. In only four minutes

Here's a written introduction to Podcasting on G4Tech TV's Website.
The NYTimes has more here.
And the iPodlounge seems to have it covered in this article.

There's also Mobcasting, just to stir things up a bit, that's making a
podcast from your mobile phone... I think.

Some good Podcasting sites I've discovered so far are;
Beercasting.com
Adams Daily Source Code
The Area51 Show
BandTrax.net
The Dawn & Drew Show
IPodder.org (Resources & Directory)
Podcast.net (The Podcast Directory)

I think I like it, doubt I'll be making any of my own shows though. Who'd give a monkeys?
