A better way to download podcasts

Yes, I know it's been a while since I last posted, but hey, better late than never. Anyway, recently I've discovered a new way to manage all the awesome podcasts I listen to. It's called PodcastReady and I never would have heard of them if it weren't for apple's cease and desist letter that they received for their use of the word "podcast" (WTF!) Anyway, with podcast ready, you can manage all your podcasts from their website. Then you download their software called "myPodder" and install it on the device that you use. This is very different than any other piece of podcast-catching software that gets installed on your PC. Anyway, you install the software onto your mp3 player and you can then plug your player into any computer with an internet connection and update your podcasts! This is really cool for me as I can now update both at home and at work, and not have to worry about maintaining two different lists of the podcasts I subscribe to. The software will work on any mp3 player that your computer sees as a removable storage device. This includes iPods. The only downside I've seen to using this software on an actual iPod (tested on my girlfriend's) is that the podcasts don't show up under the podcasts section in the iPod. Instead they just show up with all the other music which could be annoying.
Another awesome reason to try PodcastReady is that they have built in some neat social networking features into the service. As with all social networks, you can become someones friend. But once you are you can see what they are subscribed to (I think) and you can send whole podcasts or single episodes to them which are then automatically downloaded the next time they plug in their player. I haven't made any friends on Podcast Ready yet, so I haven't been able to fully examine all the social networking aspects of it, but they sound really great. All I need to do now is get more of my friends to start listening to podcasts.

Anyway, I hope to be posting a little more often now and I hope you all enjoy it.
Later bloggerinoes!
