Podcasting is one of those things I really need to look more into. I guess it’d help if I’d finally break down and get an Ipod too since that’s an integral part of what’s spawned this craze.

I’d love to hear more on it… So far all I know is it’s basically where someone can record their ‘radio show’ so to speak, save it in some file format and share it. The sharing of it is the actual ‘podcasting’ where it can be picked up through online services and played on people’s ipods. Did I get any of that right? I sure hope so!

In the spirit of this post, I feel I must share one of my favorite images that I found on various messageboards that always gives me a good laugh.
