  Can someone please fill me in on "podcasting"... So, you record an MP3 of a talk show / presentation. Then you put it on your MP3 player and listen to it later....
  
  Am I missing something that makes this so super cool, or are people just realizing 'OHH, I can record a radio show to a MP3!!'
  
  Can someone tell me the BFD?
  
  (not trying to be sarcastic, I really dont understand the big whopdee)

  I'd say it is just convenience(sp) - I know many people love to listen to books, so this works in the same space. For me - I find it a bit hard to pay attention, but at the same time, I know if I travelled more I'd listen to a lot more.

  The term seeems to get misused quite a bit. The whole idea is to take audio files (.mp3) and allow users to subscribe to feeds for those audio files via mechanisms like RSS and Atom. That's where the power and novelty are - in the ability to make the broadcasts available via feed (subscription). No subscription based delivery, no podcast.
  
  The main benefit to this model of distribution from a traditional media standpoint (think radio shows as an example) is the ability to have on-demand, time shifted delivery on a subscription basis.

  I should probably have expanded a bit on the subscription idea. If you subscribe to a particular podcast, you can use an aggregator (or program like iTunes) to automatically download new content as it becomes available. This is what makes podcasting so much more than simply making an mp3 file available for someone to download. Right now, most podcasts use mp3 as the format, but the concept is really format independent.

  well, i have found that WE, the geeks of the world, are the least likely to need podcasts. WE are up on things, WE are reading the blogs and the news and the various media, most of the time, most of the days... the people who need the convenience of the podcast are the ones who really have no access to it anyway.
  
  quite a strange conundrum if you asked me. i subscribed to the ESPN radio one, the Talking Tree one (Ray, you might see if Erat is still planning on doing his) and some others, and i basically have found them to be worthless. kinda like the daily paper in my hometown. why would i need it when i have the web at my fingertips 20 hours a day?
  
  just not sold yet.

  We setup podcasting on our blog and it worked really well. We used MP3 files and iPodder (http://ipodder.sourceforge.net) to test it out.
  
  URL we used for iPodder was just /blog/rss.cfm?mode=full and it automatically knew when an entry had an Enclosure and downloaded it.
  
  We aren't going through with it on a regular basis due to bandwidth issues and because it is a radio show so each MP3 file is over 10MB but the test worked great!

  To subscribe to the Helms and Peters stuff use the RSS buttons on their website.
  
  Right-click on the button, copy the link, go to iTunes and hit Advanced > Subscribe to Podcast... then paste in the link.
  
  By default iTunes only downloads the most recent entry so you'll need to manually "get" all the other enclosures. I just downloaded everything from the H+P site that way. Now I just need to find the time to listen to it all...

  helmsandpeters.com says "Podcast Listeners: Get the 4 most recent episodes of "Helms and Peters Out Loud" on your own schedule".
  
  But I can't figure out how to get last week's podcast.

  If you use Itunes, you can copy the RSS link into the Podcasts area.
