Now here’s an idea. (yes, prob­ably an old one as things go but it’s one that i’ve just come across.) Pod­cast­ing is basic­ally like RSS and Blog­ging, but audio instead of text and you down­load mp3’s to your iPod for con­sump­tion at your leisure. 

The very cool thing about this is the blog­ging aspect (and of course the com­mer­cial implic­a­tions, espe­cially for broad­casters.) What we have here is another per­fect vehicle for homemade con­tent. In fact any­one can now pro­duce an Audio blog in the form of an mp3 and have it avail­able for down­load, all you need is an iPod (or sim­ilar device) and some soft­ware. You choose your feeds, just like an RSS applic­a­tion, which are stored on your iPod. 

There was an inter­est­ing art­icle in The Times about his on the 6^th November.
