WHAT IS PODCASTING?
For those who aren’t familiar with the term, Podcasting is the syndication of audio files using RSS. Podcasting works the same as a standard RSS feed reader or news aggregator, the only difference is that the feed you subscribe to contains an audio file in it.
Instead of reading content in your RSS feed reader or aggregator, you can listen to the contents of your feed using a reader or aggregator that supports podcasting, or you can listen to them on an iPod or similar device. While podcasting was named for the iPod, you do not have to have an iPod to listen to a podcast. Podcasts can be displayed on websites with clickable links to audio files and many of the standard RSS readers, like Doppler have begun supporting audio enclosures. For Mac users, iPodderX is the definitive client.
That being said, QN5, home of tonedeff, CunninLynguists, and others, have launched the first ever Hip Hop label podcast. Check out their first show here: WQN5. Just copy that link into your RSS aggregator and enjoy.

Cool Programs I Use
Here is a list of programs that I use that I think are really cool.
Downtime
You may have noticed my site was down for a bit. Or maybe you didn’t because you don’t visit my site often enough. If that is the case, then shame on you. Anyway, hopefully the downtime has been resolved. I also have a new header up. Hope you like it. Thanks to Caleb for creating it.
Upgrade and New Look
I took the plunge and upgraded to WP 1.5. It wasn’t too difficult. Everything seems to work fine, except for Spam Karma. I’ll take a look at that this weekend. Also, you may have noticed the new look. I like this layout, and the top image might be changed. I’m thinking something Cardinals, Baseball, or Cardinals Baseball related.
Say Bye Bye to More Civil Rights
