Yep, same here. They may, however, opt to play adverts like some radio stations do. I wouldn't object to that as long as they're not too long or frequent. I wouldn't object to a "sponsored by" message at the beginning either.

Although on second thoughts, that might affect the quality of the content (i.e. they try to keep advertisers happy rather than listeners).

Quick and painless:

Podcasting is nothing more than Webradio. Don't need that, already have my Webradios bookmarked. Podcasting isn't as nice to me as I thought it'd be.

It's better than I expected. Some good stuff if you search through some of the detritus.

I love it.

I miss out on some radio shows during the day so getting them automatically on the ipod is great. Also means I can listen to radio from other countries.

Its very cool..

Wow, what a lot of wining over something that's free. I say, take it or leave it!

I like some of the podcastings that one can download and listen to "on the go". There are more that I do not want to listen to so....what's the big deal?
There are worse things to rant about, imv.

Cheers!
