Podcast Stuff

The Podcast as a New Podium - New York Times
Rather lightweight review from NYTimes

"So what's on these podcasts? The best ones fall into three categories. The first includes the programs of weird monologists and couples capering, complaining and exposing their personal lives in ostentatiously appalling ways. They can be funny. The second category is for talk shows about technology, from which you learn genuinely useful things, including that MapQuest.com is over, and that serious direction-seekers now turn to Google Maps. And then there are podcasts from abroad, including a good esoteric music podcast from Scotland, and an eccentric Roman Catholic one, which is produced by a priest in the Netherlands."

All of this reminds me of College Philosophy class.
It was pretty esoteric and, for the "term paper" I talked instead of wrote.
Took a portable tape recorder, drove around Mid Michigan and talked.
All I can recall at this time is that one of the topics I used was analysis of various Marvel Comics, such as SpiderMan, X-Men, etc. and how the issues the characters delt with fit topics of the course.

Now, if I'd just held on to my collection ...

What about recording from a POD?

Wonder what the acoustics would be like...
