Podcasting

As if the internet and satelite TV doesn't offer enough entertainment variety, listening to podcasts is the latest craze to befall our house. Boosted by the fact MT got his own iPod for his birthday we've not got it set up on the laptop as well and it's almost like listening to the Beeb live.

Shame the Archers hasn't yet made it to podcasting but listen again suffices. Having said that if David Archer doesn't snap out of his drooling over Sophia the potential homewrecker I'm going to stop listening altogether. Good to know Ed is back on track to being a model citizen too. Sorry, got carried away like an Archers Addict there for a moment.

Podcasting, yes it's a wonderful thing. You can keep right up to date with all your favourite tunes and programmes with it updating the latest version automatically. Not too many podcasts from NZ radio yet but I'm sure that they'll catch up soon. The only downside with postcasting is that it's not easy to share the iPod and although my beloved is always opening to sharing the earphones there is something a little undignified about that on public transport!

Put together with online video, we're keeping up with all the happenings at the party conferences and even enjoyed Tony's last address to the loyal party. Perhaps our earstwhile PM here in NZ could learn a few things from Blair who does at least rise above the maelstrom of gutter politics.
