We've done a couple now, with another one being done this weekend We're still quite new to it all, so both podcasts have a few issues, but we'll get better, honest
If you have iTunes, add a podcast and then enter this url -
I'm a bit confused about podcasts, as their name implies they are a live broadcast you can listen to on your ipod.
Clearly the 'live' bit of this is impossible, you need a full copy of the audio to plop into your audio-playing device, unless your player is some constantly net-connected thing.
So what's the difference from an MP3? I know my MP3 player's software will accept these (and convert them into it's own spastic format) but I'm always unclear as to whether it could cope with a "podcast" and haven't tried.

A podcast is just an MP3, it's just being distributed in an episodic format. Often they're posted in RSS feeds to facilitate this episodic format.
but yeah, it's just mp3 or ogg or wma or whatever.

Not necessarily. We are hoping to do a live show in a month or so. As far as I know, we can broadcast to your very own winamp. We will then use Skype for people to be able to call in and ask questions/make comments
