Podcasting

This week marked another milestone for Scuttlebutt, wherein we produced our very first podcast. It is amazing what can be done these days with the computer, and we likely have to thank all the twenty-somethings for providing the concepts and software for making this possible. Surely, since I am a forty-something and the Curmudgeon is much older, the podcast thing (read: audio internet broadcast) had been flying below/above our radar for some time. But we are onboard now, and will try to use these tools when they prove useful. I guess one of the cool things about podcasts is how you can download the audio file to your MP3 player (read: IPOD), which might come in handy for our podcast next week, which will be with meterologist Chris Bedford, who is going to lay out the ins and outs of the anticipated weather forecast for the Newport-Bermuda Race. - Craig Leweck
