Find and listen to a Podcast or two (Task 21)

I got into podcasting a few months ago with a few attempts to listen to some J-Pop broadcasts, but gave up due to the inordinately long time it took for my ipod to be updated. I ended up finding that it was quicker to order J-Pop CD's via the net or take a walk to my local Sanity store, so for me, podcasting isn't what I would call convenient. Perhaps if I had more money I could update my hard drive capacity so that the ipod would update much faster, but a lotto win isn't likely at this stage. However, those with appropriate bandwidth etc, must find this very useful as radio programs, lectures, music etc can be listened to anywhere, anytime. It's technology that empowers the listener and makes information more widely available and would be great for information that is periodically updated. I might give podcasting another go, but I'll have to find the time (and my patience) first!
