This is the result of the kids’ afternoon with Steve 
Beware, it is quite a big file, but if you’re on broadband shouldn’t take too long. Merry, this one is almost worth downloading quicktime for

Some links which are as much for my benefit as anyone else’s, although I must highlight this first one:
As well as plenty of podcast information, this site has a lovely directory of podcasts by subject – a bit school-centred, but still a fantastic resource (she says, still convincing the world and her husband that an ipod is a valuable educational tool )
Podcast receiver with funky lemon icon which I rather liked (sucked in by more marketing!)
As with blogs, because podcasts can be made by anyone, there is an awful lot of drivel out there and a fair bit of wading to do, but I quite like that
Britcaster – the hub of UK podcasting
Podcast Alley – the place to find podcasts
The Podcast Network
Podcast.net – The Podcast Directory
Digital Podcast – another podcast directory
PodcastDirectory.com – Listing of all podcasts
And a couple of sites/podcasts that I might check out if and when I sort out something a bit easier than a pc to listen to them on …
The Tartan Podcast
The Grand Prix Show – one for Steve
The Richard Vobes Radio Show – looks like someone you might find at Hesfes, imo!
Has anyone else got any recommendations?
Disappointingly, the BBC is only offering a few podcasts at the moment, and no children’s shows among them 
Still, you’ve got to start somewhere, I suppose. I guess I can see that there are huge copyright implications, but I imagine the fact that this technology seems to be taking off with a bang somehow means that things may change? Any thoughts?
Can now be found on Anna’s blog Not to be outdone, Abbie has blogged her version of events too.

Well, I figure if Steve can have a Road Angel, I can surely have an ipod. I really fancy the idea of podcasts – for example, the last couple of weeks Anna and I have really enjoyed a classical music programme for children on BBC R3 (Making Tracks), which we’ve only caught because we happened to be driving to cello lessons – and if I had an ipod I could just download that particular programme, and hence remember to listen to it. Ha! Just found a whole load more good children’s radio programmes linked from that site – so my ipod can come under the category ‘educational resources’!!
More on podcasting from Tall Skinny Kiwi here, and Jonny Baker here, with a nice quote to sum up:
The simplest way to describe it is that podcasting is to radio what blogging is to journalism.
Can’t see me *ever* wanting to create my own podcast, not my thing at all, but I could see Steve doing it. Although, a MuddlePuddle team podcast might be quite, erm, educational?!!!
