Last night the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer brought a segment on iPods (Online NewsHour: Apple's Ipod is a Technological Phenomenon -- May 15, 2006 (RealAudio)). Are they divisive? Do they isolate people? Or do they result in even more community?
A very recent convert to MP3 conference downloads, I'm still jumping with joy at attending conferences worldwide whilst driving down I70 weeks after the conference closed up. Probably prattled on about it 5 times last week alone.
So of course my reaction to the broadcast piece on iPods was, "can I get a podcast of the story on podcasts?" Naturally.
Indeed, since we last looked, PBS has seriously upgraded its podcast feeds. The big list is here:
