Podcasting

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 6th November.

I'm a graphic designer from near Cardiff in the UK. I've been a designer for over ten years now and primarily work on the web. I'm still partial to a bit of print every now and then though. I used to work for Agency.com in London as an Art Director before working as a Senior Designer for the BBC in sunny Cardiff. This was all before I took leave of my senses and formed my own design consultancy, Mark Boulton Design Ltd.

I've got a thing about grids and typography and occasionally ramble on about them to anyone who will listen.
